Hi, I’m new here! Library student/worker, mom, wife, writer, artist. I love book recs, music, and photos of nature. Currently trying to not lose my mind or develop an ulcer.
I’ve been reading more, collecting new friends because my family shrunk, buying books I’m pretty sure will be illegal to publish soon, and volunteering to transcribe at-risk archives collections so there is a digital copy. Does anyone have anything to add to the list of stuff to do to feel better?

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.
You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.
You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.
You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.
You want sourced info? Library.

The best thing you can do for an author is to request their book from your library. The library will usually get it for you! The author will get an immediate sale, and libraries will know there is a demand for their future books! Just google your library name plus "book request" or walk in and ask
Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.

All the millennial orcas are looking at this in horror and embarrassment like I do whenever I see a youth wearing a tube top
Orcas have started wearing dead salmon as hats again, just fyi

Reminder- using reference for art is NOT cheating. Depending on what type of artist you are, you should absolutely be using it. All highly skilled pro artists I know use it.
Art isn't a party trick, we don't have to be in the business of impressing ppl with the process. Don't hold yourself back.
