GHOST FILES TEASER The hunt begins in 2022. We’re back in the saddle, and we’d love for you to turn the light on.
Hey Tumblr! It’s been a few years since I last did this but I’m back at it again. I like to think I’m the reason they’ve changed the system to get free books but either way nows your chance to help out. I know the power of the internet so just hear me out right quick as I ask for a simple favor. See those cereal boxes up there? If you buy any Kellogg’s product with that Free Book logo keep the receipt! They are doing it so that when you submit a picture of your receipt showing you purchased the product you can get a free book for yourself or have a book donated! It’s super easy to sign up on their site so if you feel like doing that please do! Or maybe you’re lazy and you don’t want to do that. I’m asking you to send me a picture of your receipt! I set up an email especially for this: tumblrbooks4students@gmail.com Now I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m bringing it up, so here goes.
I teach kindergarten at a school where the kids have little to nothing. Through generous donations (government, three square, various community partners, etc.) the kids get backpacks, clothes, shoes, free breakfast/lunch, and some school supplies. The school is not in the best part of town. I’ve had students who live with grandparents because their own parents are in jail, kids who have parents that don’t have custody over them for various reasons, and so on and so forth. Now I am trying to get my kids to read books, but they literally don’t have any books at home that they can use to practice their reading. With COVID going on it’s going to be hard to have students get their hands on books because sharing is going to be a no go.
Here’s where you come in. If you happen to buy one of these specially marked boxes and don’t plan on using the receipt please send me a picture of that receipt (tumblrbooks4students@gmail.com). If 20 people on here send me a code I’ll be able to get 20 books, which will easily allow me to get each of my students a brand new book of their own. I will gladly take a picture of a handwritten thank you note from my students to show you how excited they are to get a book. They’re five so expect something awesome.
Even if you have no receipt or don’t buy the product I’d appreciate the signal boost. Thanks in advance.
Synopsis
When Lidia Parn is attacked outside of her dorm, a series of events are set into motion. Faced with the reality that she isn’t quite human, and threatened by supernatural entities, Lidia must choose between her human and vampire sides. However, this choice becomes more complicated when she develops feelings for the vampire hunter who offers her a chance to remain human, and the vampire who saved her life. Will she embrace her powers or forsake her supernatural heritage?
“Lidia?” I turn towards him and startle, finding him much closer. He presses his lips to mine gently and I surprise myself with my lack of hesitation to return the kiss.
His fingers are cool on my skin as he threads them through my hair. My heart is thundering against my ribs.
“Are you sure this isn't a bad idea?” I ask.
“I'm sure that it is,” he says. “I'm having a hard time caring right now.”
bc im an oldtimer and was just discussing jrock culture w/ @thicclizzyy
- jrock cons. all, what, two of them?
- Withering to Death was THE album.
- “don’t call kyo kawaii!!”
- lolita kisama, later rebranded as lokisa, selling super shitty overpriced “visual kei” clothing to white kids at cons
- reita’s noseband. just like, wear it everywhere. also, facemasks
- jrock mixtapes with kagura, miyavi, mucc, DEG, an cafe, and l’arc
- purple sky magazine was a thing
- “smile ichiban ii onna” was omggggg sooo kyoot
- everyone trying to emulate miyavi’s weird hyper persona
- camping out for DAYS in concert lines
- being part of a fandom meant livejournal blogging and having every prominent youtube video featuring the band memorized
- ball jointed dolls. EXPENSIVE ONES. double points if you customized them to look like a band member
- everyone wearing those sexpot revenge jackets with the fur hoods
- Dir en Grey not DIR EN GREY
- safety pins in all your clothes bc aesthetic

Good conversation turns me on. A connection between two people, a mental one first.
