From the footer of my most recent library loan receipt:

You just saved #26.00 by using your library. You have saved $1,008.92 this past year and $6,985.45 since you began using the library! Thank You!

Disclaimer: I rarely leave the library without checking something out, and I work at the library so that adds up more than your typical patron.

But yes I want to add my voice to the "please check stuff out" pile! The best way to support a library is to use it!

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

If you had the ability to sit down for a meal with any of your writerly inspirations, what would you eat with them, and what questions would you ask them?

I'd make HP Lovecraft eat a really hot curry. I wouldn't say anything, just watch him struggle. He'd have such a bad time.

I opened my copy of The Tale of the Body Thief & immediately had to close it again because of this silly little annotation

Hello, Sherlock Holmes adaptation writer. I have trapped you in this room. It is fully furnished and comfortable. On the table, you will notice a copy of A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of which redistribution is perfectly legal, as the work is in the public domain. You will notice it is rather thin. You have 24 hours to read the approximately 8,550 words in this story. To exit this room, all you must do is summarize the plot of the story without referring to Irene Adler as a seductress or implying she is attracted to Sherlock Holmes. Good luck.

Fact: The earliest reliably dated use of the phrase “fucked up” appears in the court records of a US Navy court-martial case from 1863; the way the phrase is used suggests that its meaning was already well known at the time, but this is the first known printed record of it that we can confidently put a date to.

Additional fact: Bram Stoker’s Dracula is set in 1897.

Conclusion: It would not anachronistic for your Dracula fanfic to have a character describe the Count as a fucked up old man.

Queer Book Draw Challenge 13/20— Camp Damascus by @drchucktingle

[ID: A digital illustration of Willow, Rose, and Saul in front of a trapdoor in the floor of a cabin. It is painted primarily in greens. The trapdoor is open revealing descending stairs and letting an eerie greenish light shaft into the night-dark room. Willow and Saul are standing before it, with Rose kneeling between them. All of them are facing away from the viewer. Willow has a camera strapped to her head and a hand on Rose's shoulder. Saul is wearing his flamethrower backpack. Cabin bunks flank the trapdoor and a Camp Damascus poster is partly visible behind the door. In the foreground, a window pane has a red security light, and an empty insect cocoon. A small cluster of mayflies circle the window, partially surrounding the characters. End ID]
