There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

IMLS' budget was about .0046% of the federal budget. Research has shown that for every $1 spent on libraries, the community receives between $5 to $9. Museums generate $50 billion in economic impact. This has nothing to do with government efficiency and everything to do with American destruction.

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.
So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.
Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
