Please help save my dog?
I'm losing my home and can't bring him where me and my kids have found shelter. We have friends who can take him, but he needs surgery first. Please help give Leto a safe, pain-free fresh start. Every share and donation means the world!

It is actually *not* okay to pirate books, even if your library sucks. It's not okay to pirate books if your library is great. It's not okay to pirate books.

Libraries are great. They have digital & physical media. Some libraries offer services to people out of city & out of state.

Be better.

Bluesky user lux "petty thief", libgen defender, user name luminousflux.neocities.org says: i'm not looking for them i am them. it's okay to digitally pirate books if your public library sucks. it's okay even if you have a great public library that isn't accessible to you. it's just okay.

Libraries buy books; authors receive royalties every time a book is sold. Authors aren't missing out on compensation. Libraries don't cheat authors. I'm an author. Libraries carry my books. I love libraries.
