ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

Another of our cats, Darcy, doesn't care about the bad luck that comes with being under a ladder, she implies that it's worse luck to cross her.

When debunking, the Debunking Handbook recommends that we design our message to:
1. Lead with the fact, particularly if it's concise
2. Warn that a false claim is coming
3. Explain why the false claim is misleading
4. End with reinforcing the fact
See the handbook for more useful tips!

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...
