Today I learned
Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.
Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.
Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL
You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.
Hey, highkey from a library worker:
Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBY I find it easier to use. It’s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile. Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.

Can confirm Overdrive is amazing.
I work in the largest library system in my state (17 branches in total).
I use it not only for ebooks, but movies as well.
Other FREE resources to check with your library for are:
- Freegal Music (download and keep music, including current music)
- Hoopla Digital (borrow ebooks, e-audiobooks, e-graphic novels, stream movies)
- Kanopy (stream movies; also available on Roku!)
- Axis360 (usually hot or just released ebooks)
If you don’t have a library card…
GET ONE!
If someone says libraries are a thing of the past…
BOOP THEM IN THE NOSE WITH YOUR KINDLE!
Don’t discount libraries as “quiet” places.
THEY ARE ALIVE!!!
THEY ARE LOUD!!!
THEY ARE YOUR DOORWAYS TO KNOWLEDGE!!
no need to give your money to any of those places, go to your library!!
kanopy is great!

SECRETS OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS:
Check Moon Sign*
Aries: Can’t handle fighting and losing people. They act like they are happy to let people go, but in reality they regret fighting and want those people back, because they hate losing people that mean something to them.
Taurus: Is afraid no one actually wants them around, and that they are easily forgotten by the people that mean the most to them, they constantly wonder if they mean anything to anyone.
Gemini: They try so hard to fit in and be friends with anyone they change who they are themselves, but would rather change than be alone, because being alone is extremely scary to them.
Cancer: Tries to act happy all the time. They feel like if they let other see them are upset, they’re disappointing them. Needs to make sure everyone around them doesn’t worry about them, no matter what the cost.
Leo: Believes they are unlovable and that everything that goes wrong is their fault, they try to act tough and like they don’t care, but deep inside, they are probably the most sensitive person you will ever meet.
Virgo: Has trouble handling life. They may seem they have everything under control and in order, but in reality they have trouble making it every hour of the day. It’s hard for them to stay positive.
Libra: Can’t be without a lover because they need to invest time on others so they don’t have to focus on themselves. Hates having to deal with their own problems, so they hide them and pretend everything is fine.
Scorpio: Is scared of getting close to people. They love being trusted by others, but have a hard time trusting others. They are afraid one day this will push everyone away, but they don’t know how to fix it.
Sagittarius: Only wants love and to be loved. When they aren’t with someone (not necessarily in a romantic way), they start to feel hopeless and like they aren’t good enough for anyone.
Capricorn: Invests in themselves trying to get to the top, so they tend to not have deep connections with anyone. They are afraid because of this they will be alone forever.
Aquarius: Doesn’t feel emotions like they think they should. They get into relationships and don’t feel anything for a while, and because of this they believe there is something wrong with them and blame themselves for it.
Pisces: Actually has no idea what they are doing in life and daydreams to make themselves feel better. Is lost and confused, but acts as if they have everything under control and hates asking for help.
While this totally applies to other marginalized groups, I’d like to remind everyone House is specifically talking about an autistic child here.
Remember that.

RETAIL WORKERS ARE NOT YOUR THERAPISTS. THEY DID NOT AGREE TO OR CONSENT TO HEARING YOUR TRAGIC LIFE STORY. DO NOT PUT THAT PRESSURE ON THEM IN A SITUATION THEY CAN NOT LEAVE.
LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN BACK!

aziraphale: pros and cons. i hate the number of legs that there are
crowley: bad to look at
aziraphale: *nodding* bad to look at
The contrast between Tan’s mantra and the rest of the Fab 5’s mantras is sending me.
Everyone else: 💖👍🏼🌈🙏🏼
Tan: You could try trying.

So I was right
Love local coffee shops. your “refugees are welcome here” sign goes really well with the one that says “bathrooms are for paying customers only”
You’ve clearly never had to deal with people doing hard drugs in the grocery store bathroom and it shows.
Bro I literally manage a coffee shop with an open restroom policy, and I prioritize enforcing that policy and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I’ve dealt with everything from the easy end of the spectrum (people quietly doing hard drugs) to a lady ripping all her hair out and setting it on fire in the sink. I clean up after this stuff day after day and I still feel VERY strongly about the fact that human beings should be allowed the basic decency of a place to poop. Yes, I very frequently end up having to kick someone out of the bathroom for doing drugs, and when I do I always offer them a cup of water on their way out. Because they’re a person and I give a shit…

Hans Zimmer ain’t have to go this hard but WOO SHIT BOI DID HE GO HWARD
Honestly a better song than When You Believe, and should have been the one they pushed for that Oscar.
Hey folks it’s Passover again, and that means time to share the rawest opening number in all of animated cinema.
