Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

I grew up in New England, I have been represented by three separate Kennedys in Congress. I think NE has a different understanding of just how many Kennedys there are than the rest of the country might?
