Perhaps it's time for the semi-regular reminder not to support JKRowling due to her being a terf and a Holocaust denier (see recent posts where she claims trans people were not targeted by Nazis) and several other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. Supporting her includes: buying her books, pirating her books, consuming anything that has her name attached to it. Your desire to relive childhood nostalgia should not win out over queer people's desire AND RIGHT to live their lives without fear.

She is still alive and she is using her platform to boost and fund organizations that want to erase queer people from the world.

“Books are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“E-books are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“Audiobooks are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“Video games are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“Subscriptions to magazines/newspapers are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

For real, get a library card for your local public library and you will have almost unlimited access to all kinds of media for free. Libraries also often have many different kinds of classes you can take, often for free or very cheap. Oh, and don’t forget the computers and internet access you can also use for free.

In conclusion, yet a library card.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY!!!

“Undine” by Patricia McKillip was low key kinda funny because the story can be summed up to an undine wants to lure a man into polluted water and winds up getting lured into his eco-political movement.

4/5 would recommend.

“Sometimes, it returns like rain that you slept through

that washed off the world, the streets looking brand new

I will not be great, but I'm grateful to get through

The feeling came late, I'm still glad I met you”

—Abstract (Psychopomp) by Hozier

It’s starting to rain in Chicago and I’m thinking of the sun in Bondi. 😍

The best part of the percy jackson books is that from percy's perspective hes just an easygoing funny cool guy who seems pretty harmless but the moment you see him from someone elses pov hes terrifying. Just a crazy good fighter, a force of nature killing machine, literally gets mistaken for a god in disguise. But he doesnt see that side of himself at all because hes too busy arguing with authority figures and respecting women. I love him

Happy Earth day, from me and the trees.

Almost one year since I read One Last Stop, and I decided it's time to reread it. I first listened to the audiobook, so this time I have my index tabs ready to highlight my favorite parts!
