A space where you can pick a bunch of books (and even other media) and leave with them for free? Okay! Great way to discover new authors too. Next ones in my reading pile are : New Waves by Kevin Nguyen and Your Driver is Waiting by Priya Guns.

most libraries have a simple online form to ask them to buy a book if they don't have it in their catalogue! I'm on a mission to flood my local with good books

-it's (mostly) free
-low stakes, u can change books if u don't like them and just borrow another one!
-gets me out of a reading slumps bc i have a deadline to read them instead of just being able to allow them to collect dust on my bookshelf forever
-supports one of the few remaining free third spaces
-finding paragraphs someone else underlined and imagining the person based on that
-that hot pisces librarian that looks like german michael pitt and wears dress pants in the middle of summer. that's just my local library sorry

I don't have the cash or the space to buy these things, but I love reading them. My local library stocks new art books every week and I check out all of them. Even if it's not my thing, I can flip through it in ten minutes and feel like I did a good deed for my brain.

If you aren’t too precious about owning every book you’ve read, get into your local library’s queue ASAP! I always have 7-9 hold requests at my local Brooklyn Public Library location. The game is to mix hyped new releases with just-new-to-me books so I always have something to read. It took me two months to get Sally Rooney’s latest, but Glitch Feminism arrived in just a few days. You can even get cookbooks. Recent highlights: Deacon King Kong, The Plot, Black Food, Temporary.

On a friend. On a coworker. On a stranger. Watch from afar and daydream or engage and find out and get your heart broken. People are beautiful... and no matter your feelings, it will pass!!!

not in a creepy way or with things containing family or personal stuff. just in a documenting my slut era way. hannah horvath for the plot type way. keep them for yourself and journal with it later.

stop going to Starbucks or McDonald's! delete X/Twitter and start posting on here or on Bluesky instead! stop legally streaming HYBE or SM Entertainment or any K-POP companies that refuse to see their artists as humans worthy of rights in the workplace! switch from Spotify to Apple Music or any other service that pay their artists more! we have so much power why do we forget
