There’s an app called Libby that anyone with a library card can register with. Carries ebooks, audiobooks and magazines.
If you like books but wish they were cheaper, allow me to introduce you to: Used books.
If you like second-hand books but wish they were free: Libraries.
If you like reading but can't get to a used bookstore and won't support the library (it knows what it did!): Scroll X and go slowly insane

Many people still imagine beekeeping and honey making are somehow 'good for nature'.
But it's the *total* opposite.

99% of Discourse could be avoided if people simply accepted that multiple things can be true at the same time, and often are. The universe isn't divided neatly into heroes and villains. Humans are messy and complicated. Everyone always thinks they're the good guy, no matter how awful they are.

Thread about how Labour’s right wing press led attack on “luxury motability cars” is just another kick at the people least able to defend themselves.
Rachel Reeves says she’s ending “Motability tax breaks”.
Sounds like she’s cracking down on luxury cars, right?
That’s not what’s happening.
These changes raise costs for all disabled people on the scheme, including those with the cheapest cars.
Here’s how. 👇🧵

I will never grudge giving away a book.
If I’m being honest, I’m always surprised if I get a book I’ve given someone back.

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson.
If you are concerned about people swiping books from your little free library and reselling those books, I ask you to go to your local used bookstore and sell a book
Okay?
Understand?
Alright, next question

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

People yelling at me because I don’t think the UK and Ireland should be panic spending on defence and meanwhile, we’ve spent like £5bil on tanks that only hurt the people in them.
That definitely wouldn’t have done more good spent on building houses or feeding people.

Oh my god, it’s the same guy who got mad when I said that we should wait to find out whether Nicola committed fraud before lionising her as the best politician of our age.

Can I talk about it if I have Irish family, is that allowed? When am I allowed to mention our closest cultural neighbours?
Someone from Scotland should not be speaking about Irish people in this way for somewhat obvious reasons.
A key character trait of nationalists is that they all think everyone else wants the wee bit of land they’re standing on.

This is pure right wing crowd pleasing nonsense. “Premium brand” is subjective and the government pays the same regardless of the car picked.
