I have this problem with movie trailers; they show too much and because I'm a natural dot-joiner now I wont go see the actual movie because I already know who kisses and/or betrays who, who dies, and how it ends.
I need genuine surprise and intrigue to get me to buy a movie ticket or book. 📚 ✍️🍿🎦

As a promotion method it seems really arse-about-face to do video. Like I wanna read a book because it sounds like something I'd like from a decent blurb and it only takes 15 secs to read what genre it is and a good hook, I don't want an author to explain it too much like I'm a child and ruin it.

OMG no. Stop. Leaving Gaston to be a terrible warning if not a good example would be a public service. I can count more women than I have fingers that can credit TB&TB, Shania Twain -TDIMM, and Shrek for having- and I quote "being given essential basic standards in men" during their formative years.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

Thinking about all the sites & services companies I never bought into the hype to use because I never gave enough of a rats' backside turn from the "eh it's not great" bad side to the "WTAF?!!!" bad side this year and feeling grateful to have dodged the emotional labor of disappointment switching. 😌

My advice for modern #libraries is if there's one thing you can do to make hospital-white walls in your building more inviting on a low budget it is simply turn off the fluorescent overhead lights, and use cozy desk lamps and multiple long lengths of warm-white LED lights along the ceilings instead.
2/2 The local library is an even worse offender than the chain shop because the walls and shelves are white with a grey carpet. The chain shop with faux pale wood patterns at least looks like a coffee shop where I'd want to read a book even if it's not where I would most enjoy buying the book from.

Another reason I like the secondhand bookshop instead of a nearer chain bookshop and it's not just that secondhand is good for the environment and keeps a local business going, but also the secondhand bookshop is like an arcane library and the chain store too clinical and minimalist. #booksky 1/2

Research shows that not enjoying or prioritising book browsing is a major barrier to reading for many people. So how do we make it easy and enjoyable for them?
