“New York City’s libraries are open an average of 43 hours a week, about the same as a decade ago and down from a high of 47 hours. “Even the Detroit public library system stays open longer;” the report noted. Columbus’s libraries are open an average of 72 hours a week. Despite the relatively short hours, the study found, New York City’s libraries “have experienced a 40 percent spike in the number of people attending programs and a 59 percent increase in circulation over the past decade.” San Francisco’s government contributed $101 per capita to the city’s libraries, the highest of any city in the study, while New York’s library systems all received between $30 and $40 per capita, below Seattle, Boston, Detroit and others.”

things my cpn has said to me regarding eating disorders/my eating disorder:
- you don’t have an eating disorder, why would you think that?
- how many days in a row have you gone without eating?
- how much do you eat?
- some people don’t eat a lot but don’t have an eating disorder.
(then after being told i do in fact have one):
- you aren’t getting the higher support because there are many people who are worse than you and need the help more.
(there’s more but i literally can’t even rn)
