“Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

Ich verstehe nicht, wieso heutzutage Menschen noch streamen, wenn wir bei euch doch die besten Filme haben.

Just a reminder that your local #library is an F'n treasure that we probably don't appreciate enough. I hadn't gone to my local one in quite a while, and boy-howdy it's so cool. I remember when my wife and I were poor and kidless, and that was our refuge. And then we had kids, and we used it even more often.

They probably need your help more than ever.

The Libby app from the library is so good. 💚

Just borrowed The Lasting Harm: Witnessing the Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Also, it is an audiobook version, so I can listen to it while riding my bike to work.

"Before the internet, librarians were the gatekeeper of knowledge. For your reading pleasure, the New York Public Library released a cache of queries and conundrums called in from the 1940s to the 1980s."

Is there anything more solarpunk than public libraries? Serving at the heart of communities, they’re a place where anyone regardless of income, ability, race, class, or gender can go to read books, listen to music, use the internet, learn things, hear story hour, get out of the weather for a while, and ask librarians for information on just about anything, including what organizations to turn to for additional support in your life or endeavor.

In Episode 2 of Season 2 of Solarpunk Presents, Christina talks to Don Gardner, a librarian for many years for the Salinas Public Libraries in Monterey County, California. Hear about how people rescued the library after the city council tried to close it down to save money, about what libraries can do for you and your community, and about what you can do for your local library.

For #BannedBooksWeek, a reminder that libraries are fucking awesome.

They have books! Comics! Audiobooks! Music! Movies and TV shows! Even *video games*! All for free!

They even have my personal favorite — microfilm archives of old newspapers!

I'm enjoying the audiobook of the Michael J. Fox memoir "No Time Like The Future". It's great to hear his voice again after so many years. He still talks ridiculously fast. So I'm listening at ¾ speed and it's perfect. 🇨🇦 🎬 🛹 📚
