I often hear people complain about not finding books they want at libraries: well bucko, enter worldcat! It’s this massive network of lending libraries where even libraries on different continents share books! So the odds are you can probably find a book you want! and If you live in MINNESOTA, get yourself over to MNLINK, that way you can get books closer to you, faster. It freakin rocks

📚although i'm sure it varies from library to library, there are seriously so many resources! not only books at that library but you can request books to be shipped from other public libraries, and movies, games, music, study/meeting rooms, and mine has a whole computer lab in the basement, which is so sick
and it's so easy to get a library card, my library has an app and if i wanted to i could go and check out a book and not talk to anyone BUT one of my favorite things is chit-chatting with the librarians and kind of building community ya know? and my library has a micro pantry where you can find non-perishable food items and toiletries.
can't believe i haven't mentioned this yet but this is all FREE so yea and i'm located in the suburbs of chicago if youre curious and if for whatever reason something differs from state to state/library to library

🏴Ethically dubious perhaps
I am editing to add: some libraries can do interlibrary loans—as in borrow from different systems! I once borrowed a book from a library a 3hr drive away. If you haven’t already, ask Ur local librarian cos maybe they can help

💲Wait in the line. Wait in the fucking line, talk to the cashier and make a joke. Hone your small talk. if we stop using the express checkouts they will shut em down. They’ll give the cashiers more hours, more demand and more money. it’ll result in them having more power. Talking shit about AI is easy but now it’s time to choose the people over the robots in person. In real life.

🎻I think a lot of kids grow up with largely friends of their same gender. That’s the problem. Heteronormativity and seperating the genders in every aspect of life. sports, activities, friend groups. We condition men (and women!) to begin othering the opposite sex from birth. When in doubt, ungender it.
