Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?"
We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!"
Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪

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!

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!

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!

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.

As I listen through the Dark Tower novels, I find myself wondering: In Mike Flanagan’s hypothetical adaptation of the series, will young Stephen King be played by Henry Thomas or Bill Hader? #booksky #horrorsky

In 1963, Norman Rockwell left The Saturday Evening Post after 50 years. Due to the hate mail this cover received, the Post editors had told him, basically, no more like this. Rockwell, their most beloved illustrator, walked. Look Magazine welcomed him with open arms. #Art #racism #illustration

This needs to be said, because I feel like mainstream culture has NORMALIZED the idea of people shaming people for their nerdy, socially non-conforming or unusual hobbies.
So a lot of people endure their partner making them feel ashamed of their toys or hobbies, etc. when they REALLY SHOULD NOT.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

It's also bleakly funny that even in 2022 I thought it was laying it on awful thick about tech bro douches, but if anything Norton's character is way too aware of other people as a concept and is at least attempting to fake an interesting inner life.
Pregaming for Wake Up Dead by watching Glass Onion, for some reason it especially pleases me that Rian Johnson has Blanc quote "My God, it's full of stars" and make note that the line is from 2010 not 2001.
