Libraries have a lot more than just books, if you have one in your town you could go and see what’s interesting about your library
Local cafe/restaurant with a patio, a cute park, anywhere can be a third space! Try new hobbies and explore :)

As the only true third spaces left in a world where you can hardly leave your house without having to spend money, supporting and utilizing these public services has become more necessary than ever. People don't realize just how many free services are offered by their local branches. From workshops, to free access to online classes and audiobooks, museum passes, movie nights, private study rooms, equipment available to borrow, community building – it's so much more than just borrowing books (which is also cool, btw).
Also a great alternative to loitering at a coffee shop.

Not even just for books- there are community events posted on bulletin boards, clubs you can join being advertised, the general ambience of a library- it’s just the ultimate experience for anyone yearning for community, or in need of a third place

📖besides free books (physical, digital, audio) the amount of stuff u have access to is wild.
i’m talking board games, sewing machines, language classes, coding lessons, cds and dvds (that you can rip and copy and kEEP - none of the librarians are gonna tell you shit for that), maker spaces, 3D printers, community events, ballet classes, movie nights, car repair lessons, resume help, free national park tickets, bat tours during october! It’s great!
And for free?!?? in thIS economy? Literally why pay for a coworking space when the library is Right there, with free wifi and quiet rooms all to yourself.
And if there are things you don’t see offered but want to? Ask! Or even better, offer!! Start your own thing, get to know your community members.
Utilize your third spaces, they’re great!!

I recently discovered that there’s a Japanese word for the way sunlight makes its way through trees and I haven’t stopped noticing it since then :)

Whenever I’m getting ready I always have one of this guy’s videos in the background. The videos are super casual so it kinda feels like being on FaceTime, PLUS he’s relatable af
