I love the library

i recently went to the library, picked out a giant comfy chair in the middle of the place, sat down and just read for an hour. it was a genuinely pleasurable and cathartic experience. i highly suggest going just to be there. you don't have to check your books out and leave. hell, you don't have to check anything out at all. just browse, pick something up, start it, put it down, pick something different. just exist in a space built specifically for your community.

Libraries are a great way to spend time in public (regardless of reading/not-reading preferences)

Bc Third Spaces (places you can exist that aren't home or work/school) are endangered--and libraries are currently our most thriving species of Third Spaces. Natural characteristics of Libraries include:

How To Enjoy A Library (without reading anything if u don't want to):

IN CONCLUSION: libraries are just very comfy and convenient places to exist. you can go there, not glance at a single book, and still have a chill time w/ fun (and free!) public resources.

sexy sexy free public resources

Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)

[Image description: two tweets by @RyanFMandelbaum “ryan” which say “i am begging freelancers and remote workers to consider working at the library instead of a cafe

“why should you do that? because our libraries are being defunded and “quiet space to work” is one of the whole points of the library, which is free!! if there’s no demand for the library then what ammo will they have against the gutting?“]

ive been using my local library a lot more in the past couple months (after not going to a library in years) and it is so fun! ive had to print stuff there but ive checked out SO many manga and the atmosphere is just so nice. go to your library!

why is explaining a villains sad backstory always taken as an effort toward excusing their actions. why does the conversation need to involve the question of excusing anything rather than just making their present behavior way more interesting by complicating their feelings or their motivations. why is acknowledging complicated feelings or motivations taken as apologism in and of itself. why is everyone so incredibly boring
