This Was Such An Unnecessarily Brutal Way To Kick Off The N Event

In Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021), Barry Allen breaks a Window by merely touching it. This is because Windows no longer supports Flash.

“one day, i was reading a book about lesbians and my son came into the room and asked me to read from the book to him. so, i began to read to him, and the word lesbian came up somewhere in the few paragraphs that i read, and he said, “what’s a lesbian?” and i told him, “a woman that loves women and makes a life with a woman as a companion.” so he said, “oh, so that’s what you do.” i said, “yeah.” he said, “so that means you’re a lesbian.” and i said, “yeah.” and he said, “but mommy, i thought you were a virgo” from the documentary film choosing children: launching the lesbian baby boom, 1985

I desperately need online friends who share the same interest as me cause I cannot keep info dumping about pokemon to myself

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library's complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

Recently I’ve been reading Kui Ryoko’s fantasy short stories, and they’re all fantastic! Highly recommend that all Dungeon Meshi fans (and fantasy fans in general) check out her other works:

Terrarium in a Drawer

The Dragon’s School is on Top of the Mountain

The Works of Ryoko Kui: Seven Little Sons of the Dragon
