Advice if you love/care about an addict but they're not ready for abstinence. This is meeting people where they're at- the most important part of harm reduction

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

Her name was Saly, she was five years old. She was like any child, she probably liked to play with her toys, she was probably learning to read, she probably like to spend time with her family and friends.

Maybe she would have been a doctor, or a farmer, or a engineer. Maybe she would have advanced the field of physics or medicine, written a best seller novel or stared in a major movie production; Or she might have had a quieter life, the world might have never known her name, but her friends and family would have and that might have been enough.

But no one will ever know now because Israel took those lives away from her, the tens of thousands of possibles that lay before each child burning like candle lights in cool summer night sniffed out in an instant. A last story shared by thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza.

We as a society barely talk about the horrors that Iranian women face everyday under the ruthless theocracy

#It's honestly sad how less people have noticed this post #was the supporting women in Iran by cutting your hair and crying on camera just a trend #social media clout for them and then just forget about them because israel attacked them and now they are some kind of heroes? #west does not make any sense #DO NOT FORGET THAT THE IRANIAN RULE IS STILL A THEOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE ARE BEING HARASSED AND OPPRESSED BY THEM #Never forget Mahsa Amini and all the women killed by those people #fuck you iranian gov #save the people of iran

All the tarp you see are human bodies. How many of those tarp covered bodies didn't make it to see their 18th birthday? How many didn't get to see the 1st birthday of their child? How many didn't get to celebrate retirement? These are human lives being ripped away at an alarming rate.

There should be no reason you can't step outside without seeing a decomposing child, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, friend, or lover.

They had lives and yet they are buried next to the sidewalk? Would you be okay with your loved one being buried next to the sidewalk? No. No you wouldn't.

I really hate doing this, but I don't really know what else to do, so. My grandpa passed 3 days ago. He lived w me and my mom, so all of his expenses, medical bills, etc will fall mostly on us and we're scrambling.

If you can donate or buy something from my ko-fi, that would be greatly appreciated.

If there's anything I can work on for you, portraits, illustrations, gifs, please hit me up ♡

Anything helps, really. My goal is something like $200, which may not sound like much for people in the us or eu, but it's a lot in my country.

So again, let me know if you'd like to commission anything ♡ reblogs are also appreciated!

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
