Ok, I’ve seen this sentiment before, but the amount of Kindle Unlimited ads I’ve been seeing is forcing me to repeat it-
Kindle Unlimited is offering two free months of unlimited ebooks. As a trial. Which will then become a paid subscription.
Your local library is offering unlimited ebooks all the time. Forever. No contracts, no predatory practices, no tracking of how long you spend on each particular page in the hopes that information about your habits can be sold for a profit.
Use your library. They want so badly to give you all of the things for free.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I’ve been getting ebooks from the library (I have three local library systems that I’m entitled to get a card with, and I use all three) for a few years now, and I’m reading more and more widely, and discovering authors I then want to buy new releases from, and who’ve influenced my writing.
A 22 yr old in my org got drunk tuesday night and kinda shit on the fact that I’m running a community cleanup for our chapter. Said something along the lines of “i didn’t join up to pick trash.” Which really bothers me and it took me a while to figure out why. The whole point of the community cleanup is that we’re returning to the neighborhoods where we knocked doors for A4 to help clean up their streets and provide material improvement for free in an effort to build inroads with those neighbors.
Like… if your socialism doesn’t include picking uo trash, I’m guessing it also doesn’t include doing the dishes, babysitting, or anything else that is important but not prestigious. Idk man, fuck off with that shit. You’ll pick up trash and you’ll like it until you understand why picking up trash isn’t anyone’s job but your own. I hate that attitude. If helping and doing activism was always fun and visible and impressive, everyone you know would already be doing it.
Dear Tumblr I have been struck by the need to broadcast my beloved son to you all, because he is a beautiful ball of fluff and sunshine. His name is Griffin.
He hopes you have a good day and perhaps might bring him some snacks.
