If you need a quiet place to work or study for free, you can reserve a study room at your library. That's one thing your library offers you. I wrote a memoir manuscript by making daily reservations in a study room at a library after my shift as a literacy tutor in the hood.

This quote is rich and verbatim confirms that Iger and Disney literally don’t see artists as creatives or creators.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.
