Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Hitting that cancel account button was surprisingly cathartic. This place looks ok, I guess, but I’m longing for simpler times. If anyone needs me I’ll be reviving my old Geocities page. Come sign my guestbook and behold my lovely traffic cone images.
