AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

29. The Thrawn trilogy is not anywhere close to as good as you remember. But it did come at a time where there was nothing else really going on in Star Wars, and opened up the possibilities of what a Star Wars story could be.
They would make terrible movies.

7. The only twist in any Star Wars media that has ever been as good as Empire Strikes Back is the revelation in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

Depression is a helluva thing. Diagnosed and in therapy, it was still cratering my MA. But, I'd been working in libraries undergrad and grad school, seemed like an alternative. Library back home was hiring, my hard drive with my thesis crashed, so I left academia for books and public service.

John mothafuckin Stark has entered the chat and caused 80% casualties in the British light infantry units
He ordered his men to aim at enemy gaiters when they passed the aiming stakes at 30 paces, meaning they would hit center mass. Horrific casualty rates ensued

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”

which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.
