The app Libby pairs with your local library, and you can read/listen to audio books in the app or send the books to your e-reader. Libraries are an amazing tool, and we should, as a collective society, patronize them obsessively during these 4 years because the alt-right is attacking education.

And I have zero patience for people who are working out their own raw animal terror and rage by attempting to spread it to others.
You can feel those feelings - I do, all the time - but you’re a useless asshole if you spend your time trying to make others feel as hopeless as you do.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Or, if you are currently unsure if you’re pregnant, or if you are pregnant and considering abortion, keep the app. Track your actual ovulation cycle on a paper calendar, buy a pregnancy test using cash, and tell the spy app that your cycle is the same as it’s been every other month.

I bought it ages ago as a reading chair back when I lived in NC - 20 years later, I’m still never allowed to sit in it. At least they’re cute.

Also, tonight’s four leaf clover haul! They’re all either too big or too uneven to make into charms, so I’m going to press them, wash them thoroughly, and add them to the morning tea. All of us here could use a little boost in luck these days!🍀
