Memorial Device “Alternative National Treasure”. Let’s have a brew. I like ScandiNoir & The Vaccines. DuoLingo boasts. Enthusiastic novice at drawing. Workplace selfies for OOTD.

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

I'm going insane because people constantly recommend using AI for things and it is always, ALWAYS worse than repeatedly bashing my head on a brick.

It's like you have an actual problem & all anyone recommends is "have you tried talking to my cousin? He drinks bleach & doesn't wash his pants"

Don’t buy mass-produced Black Friday crap from online outlets owned by billionaires.

Buy lovely hand crafted things from wonderful, creative people instead.

Tomorrow is a month away from Xmas Eve. Please have a look to see if you have any children's clothes, books, toys, etc that are no longer needed & donate them to your local charity shop ASAP. The demand for these items is now, not after Xmas. People are skint but still want to make Xmas special. ❤️
