public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

#library tag #banned books week #banned books #emmybody talks #for international users... your mileage may vary! #i mean i suppose you could lie about your age/location to get some of these. i doubt theyd check i would just feel bad. personally. #post brought to u by banned book week but also being moderately annoyed at ppl mad about the spotify thing #libraries are wonderful but they have their own limitations and i think using both is good!

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #doing straight up nothing with the bestie. really good activity of doing nothing #i mainly drew this just so i can test how itd be not drawing their faces bc i Love drawing their faces a little too much. #maybe ill throw them in a more intense situation next time i try it bc it just ended up focusing on wolfwood and his silly newspaper #he's reading the news... cruel happenings all around no mans land... have to keep up to know where to go next and where to avoid #but theres also some guy in the same room being distracting as hell. i think they can coexist without bothering each other but theyd #be so painfully aware of the other person... both of them usually have tended to their own space after all for years. ww especially i think #would be easily distracted with vash's presence bc he's spent 2 years thinking about him already (for his mission...) #and thinking about vash is a Little easier than dealing with his personal anguish #though it can definitely overlap too. and sometimes its not that bad. sometimes its just vash's hand feeling unexpectedly nice and gentle #ruporas art

YEESH okay #anyways i think theyd be so silly together #no one utilises the comedic potential of erina living in the fantasy french revolution but i think deep learning ai sophia is a good match #either way theyre so good as parallels like hold on SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES PAST THIS POINT #both of them were created as last-ditch efforts. erina is the manifetation of toshiros suppressed hope and rebellion and sophia is ichinose #attempt at understanding the human heart and her own repressed emotions #theyre both constructs of the heart in one form or another even if they were created in v different ways

old doodle, dialogue from the game but i added some stuff in the end just for harriet and kim wheezes

#also i know i call her harriet but i still think she goes by harry #i just call her that to differentiate and make it clearer that im talking about her and not just harry pftt #harriet du bois #fem kim kitsuragi #sunnysidedisco #sunnysidedoodles #disco femlysium #genderbend #<- blacklisting purposes #described #id in alt text #also im not sure if harrier is like a unisex name. but if it i think that would also still be her name. #i think when evrart tries to get you on their good side by telling you personal info. theyd mistake her name 'harry' to + #be a shorter version of harriet #im so sleepy am i making any sense fdgdhjk

watched Grease the other night with my buddy and. well. obviously i Had To

#this was a good warm up i think. kinda low quality cause its Small and Not Much Effort Went Into It #but i think the fuzziness adds to the charm. or something like that #ive always loved greasers as a concept and general Thing #anyway now im Thinking about what everyone's 'roles' would be #i think the little greaser group would be wally / sally / barnaby #except theyre the most unconventional greasers ever #sally is all bark and no bite. barnaby is no bark and no bite. wally is just there to look pretty #i think theyd fold frank into the group eventually due to Witnessing His Knack For Violence #i can picture them mostly hanging around a diner #where they all share the single milkshake they can collectively afford #scribble garnish #welcome home #in middle school i absolutely adored the outsiders #we even did a thing for the class where we were assigned 'greaser' or 'soc' and i was So Fucking Delighted to get greaser #assigned greaser by 8th grade english class #got to dress up and everything. i had a blast. so gender. #during that time i would even sit there in class thinking 'i was born in the wrong generation'. delusional? yes #one of my ocs is even a fuckin. universe-hopping assassin greaser #their vibe.... 50s punk... #loved the movie btw. made next to no sense. very charming

thinking about how the marza twitter account has been posting a lot of art of the ghosts from night of the werehog lately and they said something about lah having plans for halloween and their most recent post is this

like please you cant do this to me you cant play with me like this

#i feel like its most likely just some special art or something . and thats what im telling myself in order to not get my hopes up. #but what if its a new animated short ... it IS the 15th anniversary of sonic unleashed and sonic night of the werehog this year .... #but usually when sonic related animated shorts get made we know about them at least a few days in advance #idk if this is something theyd drop with no warning #and if it is a short i think its likely that it would just be about the ghosts and not sonic or chip #BUT it would still be new unleashed related content . which is good enough for me

soft (and some bittersweet)

#trigun stampede #trigun #vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #i think they both spent majority of their lives in solitude and ofc vash went town to town and made friendships promises and etc along the w #way + he had his home and whatnot in the long years he's been alive but he still just seemed so lonely. #in prior versions of trimax he had friends at home at least and maybe he mightv made some but luida and brad are basically just his #guardians in this adaption. like brad used to be a homie.... vash watched that little dude grow up.... and jessica too.... but he doesn't #have that in this adaption. nor a town like july where he had grown close to the townspeople and shaped that tragedy to be closer to his #heart. and wolfwood spent years fighting under the eom and doing shit under their jurisdiction when we saw him so adamantly try to reject #and fight back against that fate. i dont think he had a second at all to get familiar with townspeople or even care to #so its just these two lonely ass souls and vash immediately seeing the good in ww and points it out #ww who is under orders again to be involved in vash's business but he's also SO touchy about it bc vash is so careless and lack that self #regard and also just is not seeing the world that ww is seeing. but then vash helps him and saves him by sharing a piece of what /he/ sees #and it fucking. rescrambled ww's brain for a sec. HE GAVE HIM HOPE!!! he gave him hope!!!! and in turn ww gave vash hope too and its #all done in like 3-4 eps. there's so much fervent attachment in what they managed to give each other in such a short time #but theyre limited to the contract to the inevitable confrontation with knives - so while theyd want to give into that chance to love this #person who managed to give them smth special they just can't at all #ruporas art

we'll stand together, even at the end - especially at the end.

#hi i fuckking forgot to upload this fo rlike a week now hi. sorry just had to remind everyone im the most abnormal hmr fan #hamurio #hamuko arisato #persona 3 portable #p3p #persona 3 #rio iwasaki #cele draws #ham self sacrificial tendencies.. yah #also i think specifically theyd love singing together and promise eachother even if they had to compete on stage theyd give it their all #and smth happens where they dont see eachother for a very long time and they just.bring eachother out and theyre both shocked but they rmb #their promise. the thing is rio hates losing right. so does hamuko. but over everything #she wants rio to live. so. they have fun singing together and all is good in the world until well. she lets herself fade out at the end and #loses. #haha..hg

I want them to be friends.

I'd pay to see how their interactions/therapy sessions go

Like,

S: I briefly met your husband in another universe.

M: ...

S: Yeah, he wasnt so bad. In fact, he died protecting another version of Finn!

M: ...how did he die?

S: oh. Uh... Marceline sucked his soul and drank his blood dry.

M: ...

dirkjake if they were parents is like. idk if they'd be /bad/ parents but theyd def have some WEIRD ass shit going on. every family board game would be unnecessarily intense. family fishing trips seem normal until you realise they're either grabbing the fish with their bare hands or stabbing them with swords. that kid would have the worst accent ever ever. can you imagine if one parent spoke with the most ridiculous dated vocab while throwing in normal modern speak and then the other spoke in perfect sentances and grammar but in 2010s coolguy diction.

#dirkjake #homestuck #jake english #dirk strider #theyre so fucking silly. #i just think there would be a lot of nonsense #and they might be bad parents depending on how well adjusted you make them #like if they havent really worked out their issues then theyre garbage parents but if theyre figuring things out theyd be okay parents #and if theyre in therapy for 100 years theyre good parents /lh
