yeah theres no way to stop using amazon completely because they own so many things and many websites use them for hosting, but audible is something we really dont need. amazon is already trying to replace public libraries with “audible amazon libraries” and we cant let that happen. your libraries are already payed for with taxes ((though normally way underfunded because politicians normally dont care enough)) 

use libby or overdrive for audiobooks or ebooks, support libraries and buy from their used books sale (ive scored so many awesome books, and old books! as well as some great cds and movies) , and many libraries also mail out books!! theres so many options and libraries are always changing to make themselves more accessible for everyone, so support them! theyre such an important part of your community.

“It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.” — H. L. Mencken

being poor is literally just like *buys a book and feels guilty about it* *goes to see a movie and feels guilty about it* *buys some food and feels guilty about it* *buys a piece of clothing and feels guilty about it*

The first automats — restaurants serving food primarily through vending machines — were established in Germany at the end of the 19th century, where vending machines for everything were in vogue.

They quickly spread across Europe and the U.S. The first American automat was opened in Philadelphia in 1902 by the Horn & Hardart food services company, which later opened hundreds of locations there and in New York.

The setup was innovative — customers would exchange cash for nickels or tokens, then peruse walls of glass cases featuring hot and cold sandwiches, soups, pies and other treats. Customers would insert coins in a slot next to their desired food, and the case would unlock. After they took the food, the case would be restocked by a staff member in the kitchen behind the cases.

Automats were beloved for their cheap prices, consistent quality and egalitarian atmosphere — one could come in for a cup of coffee or settle in for a full meal. They became a favorite haunt for starving artists and actors.

Ultimately they fell out of favor with the rise of fast food restaurants in the 1970s. Most of the Horn & Hardart New York locations were turned into Burger Kings.

The last automat in the United States closed in 1991.

“If you don’t love her, leave her. If you can’t picture her in a white dress walking down the aisle towards you, leave her.If you aren’t able to see her as the woman who will raise your children, leave her. If you don’t like the way she looks first thing in the morning, leave her. If her laugh doesn’t warm you up inside, leave her. If her smile doesn’t take your breath away, leave her. If her love for the sky bores you, leave her. If she in general doesn’t fascinate you, leave her because someone out in the world is searching for this extraordinary girl who you believe is just ordinary.”
