Vagueposting is annoying I know but if you’re the positive vibes of any sort sending type, I’d be grateful for any you have to spare as I wait for some health results from testing we’ve been waiting ages to get

Quickly approaching the time of year when one proper snowstorm could knock the power out or keep you stuck at home for weeks. PLAN ACCORDINGLY (stock up on books)

Terrible that ‘twas doesn’t get the usage that it’s does in modern language. The apostrophe in it’s is mundane, confuses many, is a chore to use and see misused. The apostrophe in ‘twas is just a little guy, he is tipping his hat to you, he’s so excited you’re here, to share his word with you

What if I wanted a lovely croissant for breakfast sometimes, Zeus? A nice omelet on occasion. But no, as I am not Zeus himself or little Zeus my desires do not register and I must keep tearing away at this titan flesh - not easy to tear into, by the way!! - avoiding awkward eye contact as best I can
If I was an eagle and forced to eat the same dude’s disgusting liver every morning for eternity just because he ticked off my boss I would be incandescent with rage

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