LIBRARIES MAKE BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, she shouts, apparently inaudibly
WHY DO THESE "YOU'RE A CLASS TRAITOR" PEOPLE KEEP PRETENDING LIBRARIES DON'T EXIST?
ARE THEY CLASS TRAITORS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LIBRARIES?

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

More Greenland photos, featuring some geology. Scoresbysund has some fantastic exposures of columnar basalts, which are ~55 million years old (young for Greenland rocks!) related to flood basalts when the Atlantic was opening up. Fantastical shapes and fall tundra colors

Oh no, I stopped getting notifications not only here but also elsewhere! I nearly missed the vote. #Stibnite it is, because it looks gorgeous, just like #Okenite but less fluffy and more stable.
#MinCup Round 1 Match 2 is underway!
It’s dark & dramatic #Stibonite vs fluffy & adorable #Okenite. Kohl or cottonball?

Ran 4km this evening. Not a lot, but I just had to take a 2 week break due to being sick and traveling. Will take a few more days until I'm able to run a bit better again.
