Hi, I'm Kate. I'm 28, ex-vangelical, bisexual, with a Master of Architecture from Texas A&M. I am, decidedly, a mess and this blog definitely reflects that, but it's mine and the people who follow me seem to like it. You can always message me if you ever need to talk to someone!

This is breaking containment into the TERF enclosures which I very much expected, but I will happily shout from the rooftops that furry porn artists are more productive and beneficial to society than JKR’s incessant whining on the elon musk dick riding app about how much she hates trans people

1439 votes but 288 reblogs because the TERFs are afraid of the truth so they're just linking it directly to each other lmao

having a praise kink is sooo embarrassing like yeah I can't get off until you pat me on the head and tell me I'm the prettiest bestest goodest boy in the whole world. yeah and sometimes I'll ask "I'm good?" in the whiniest most pathetic voice and I'll need you to respond with affirmations about how good I definitely am before I can continue. in fact the term "good" is practically a magic word here. yeah sort of like an anxious dog. please don't ask about my relationship to my parents or other systems of authority growing up. anyway do you want me carnally

I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to

ATTENTION MUTUALS:

Pinning this, because everything she says in this video is so important. And if I see ANY of my mutuals (or anyone else for that matter) reblogging and/or pushing anything even close to the "don't vote" narrative, I'm blocking you on sight from now on.

I'm SICK of these takes that all just amount to "don't vote," because that's how Trump won in 2016. Because of idiots not voting. I know. I was there. I was one of them. And it's one of the biggest regrets of my life due to all the damage Trump did. And if you're too ignorant to know what a disaster he has been for our rights, and for the world, and what a boon he's been to far right extremists everywhere in the world who make Biden look like a saint, then... *exhales deeply.* Just google it or something.

Also lemme just repeat one thing she said in this video ALL of you need to get through your heads:

THE GOP WANTS TO CONTINUE THE GENOCIDE OVER THERE AND START ONE HERE TOO.

So it's not like you're actually helping anyone by not voting. You're just being selfish, short sighted, and foolish.

"Voye blur no matter who" might be annoying, but your choices are:

"the guy who is funding a genocide and also doing things to set his own country up for major success in the future"

OR

"The guy who

  1. would also fund the genocide because he has said as much,
  2. actively encouraged people to overthrow the sitting government when he lost his chance to remain part of that government,
  3. has admitted to rigging evidence and threatening people to scrounge up votes for him,
  4. and most recently, has freely admitted that if he wins the current presidency, he will turn it into a lifetime appointment and ensure the US becomes a dictatorship."

Do you really think there's a choice here?

Saw your post from the author who was happy people were using Libby. I'm torn as I understand the author is happy to get the license renewed, but libraries only get 26 loans on a digital license vs 60-80 loans on a physical copy. I love the convenience of digital books, but if taking out the physical copy is better for the library I'm willing to make the trip. Just looking for thoughts from others about it.

It depends on the license agreement the library has and its different for every one. Some renew annually, others renew by X amount of rentals. The library does what is best for them, and the more people use their services the more they can usually argue for more funding.

This is not universal, of course, but most of the librarians I know are ecstatic when people use their services.

Library worker here! PLEASE take advantage of Libby. We have these digital services because people use them. They're critical accessibility aids for many people and mean the library is an option for people who otherwise can't get to a physical location regularly.

Use Libby, visit your library if possible, vote in local elections and attend town council meetings - all of these make material differences to libraries by providing them with increased funding. Never feel guilty for accessing our online services. You're helping your library and so, so, so many people in you community when you use our resources, no matter if they're physical or digital

Quoting myself from another post:

Please, PLEASE use Libby. OverDrive. Hoopla. CloudLibrary. Kanopy. Flipster. Freegal. Transparent Language. Mango. Jstor. Your library would not offer it if they could not afford it, and we afford things by reporting the number of people who use that service, so if you don't use the service we can't afford it. It's a cycle. Keep it going, keep using it, and we'll keep providing because we'll be able to justify the cost to the bean counters in government.

I'd tell the staff so they could deliver it to the right person, but also ask staff what it is so I could order one for myself.
