asking your library to order a book, a guide

let's say you're really excited about a book coming out soon. you want to read it and support the author but maybe you don't have a ton of disposable income because you, for instance, live in a capitalist hellscape that doesn't enforce a living wage.

perhaps, um, just for example, you want to read my upcoming YA novel Stars, Hide Your Fires, wherein a jaded thief and a mysterious revolutionary must team up to solve a mystery in space, feat. ballgowns, intrigue, banter, and a generous dash of queer romance (out july 11th!)

if you can't afford to buy a book, i would ask you to please please consider your local library. here is a tool for finding your closest lending library (u.s. only, unfortunately). this is also a gentle reminder to get a library card if you don't have one yet! libraries provide invaluable services, particularly to underserved groups, and are funded partly based on use, so you'll be supporting your community.

your library may already have ordered a copy, in which case borrowing the book is a matter of placing a hold and then waiting for it to come out. but what if you try and your local library has no plans of obtaining the volume? first of all, good on you for your ~exclusive tastes. second, you can do an author a huge favor, for free and in under five minutes, by requesting that your library order their book.

google the name of your library along with "purchase request" or "suggest a purchase." if one doesn't work, try the other.

towards the top of the results, you'll probably find a form to fill out.

in the case of my local library, what you find is an FAQ page that suggests emailing the library if they're missing something. clicking on that email ink takes you to a form.

note: they'll probably ask for your library card number, so have that handy!

it's very likely they'll ask for the ISBN so they can be sure they'll identify the right book. in the case of Stars, Hide Your Fires, you can find that info on the publisher's website. (Or I can save you the click: hardcover ISBN: 9781683693512, e-Book ISBN: 9781683693529) If you don't happen to know this, you can just google the title and author plus "ISBN" and it should come up.

submit the form and bask in the good vibes that follow.

I saw some post about z library, a pirate e-book website that has been taken down.

Um, just go to your actual library? You pay for them with your tax dollars, they're desperate for your business, they're FREE, they're legal, and they have tons of e-books and audio books just waiting for you!!! No need to pirate!

Punishing Bird has taken a liking to you. perhaps it's because of how you never brush away its pecking, perhaps it's due to you giving it seeds when it ventures down to Extraction- either way, it seems to enjoy your presence, making a beeline for the lower part of the facility whenever it breaches to simply sit on your shoulder and give you the occasional peck. your shoulders have small gouge scars now, but you endure it so the Bird won't disturb any other agents during its breach, nor do you mind the company, so Punishing Bird simply stays.

Binah is a little perplexed when she sees you with the Bird on your shoulder or in your hands, carrying it around casually as you go about your day. Punishing Bird has even begun allowing you to simply bring it back to its containment cell to end its breach, although often you don't find time until the end of the day, when your coworkers have retired for the night. Binah approaches you one of those evenings, holding a roll of gauze for you to patch up the bleeding pecks in your skin. you're holding Punishing Bird in your hands, and feel Binah's stare from across the room as you look up. without even thinking you ask if she'd like to hold the small Abnormality, and for a second you see a flash of surprise cross the Sephirah's expression. but slowly, she holds out her hands, and you place the Bird in her open palms.

Binah stares.

you stare.

Punishing Bird stares.

then it settles into her hands, feathers ruffling, and you and Binah merely watch. her fingers twitch, trying not to squeeze too tightly, and after a moment she reaches out and places the Bird back on your shoulder. she takes your own hand instead, her touch unusually light and delicate, and you blink in surprise.

"I much prefer this, if I must hold anything." is all she says, calmly, and you give her a soft smile.

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #let binah hold a bird #if you two ever eventually get out of the library after lobcop you're becoming friends with the crows and ravens #that's just the rules #she gets more used to holding things #normally your hand or you as a whole #she's not used to holding instead of crushing #so she's extremely gentle with you

Awkward stuff the demon brothers would NEVER tell MC (headcanon) part 1

part 2 here [LINK]

Mammon - his failed attempt at creating MammonCoin cryptocurrency

Leviathan - why he keeps his Ruri-chan figurine in a jar, if you keep asking him he'll summon Lotan

Satan - his cat fursona that he posts about on a secret social media account that none of his brothers know about

Asmodeus - his long list of ex-lovers and the fact that he's probably a father after all the succubi he smashed

Beelzebub - there are some restaurants that he got banned from

Belphegor - the last time he washed his sheets (there's a reason he likes to sleep in MC's bed)

Lucifer - his illicit affairs with Diavolo, anyone who finds out gets fed to Cerberus

#BTW the cat fursona's name is Tantan and he's a librarian who gets mad at anyone who makes noise in his library #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me one master to rule them all #obey me headcanon #obey me headcanons #lucifer obey me #mammon obey me #obey me meme #obey me memes #leviathan obey me #satan obey me #asmodeus obey me #beelzebub obey me #belphegor obey me #obey me crack

I had no patience for people policing other peoples ships before i went to library tech school and library tech school has make me a little bit pissy about the entire thing actually.

#its 1:47am i am not going to rant about it #but Jesus Christ on a cracker i hate how censorship has become common and almost mainstream if it’s ’for the right reasons’#fuck you and fuck your ‘right reasons’#there is no reason to deny someone the ability to create or access material that you don’t agree with #‘but-‘ i do not careeee about your arguement it is my job as a library worker to provide ACCESS TO INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE #‘but it has siblings that kiss!’ DONT CARE. BOOKS DO NOT DICTATE MORALS. MOVE ON.#‘but it has (insert other thing)’ DONT CARE. THE PATRON ASKED FOR THIS BOOK. THEY ARE GETTING THE BOOK. NEXT #‘but but but THE CHILDREN’ THE CHILDREN NEED ACCESS TO INFORMATION JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. I AM NOT PARENTING YOUR CHILD.#IF CONTENT MAKES YOUR CHILD UNCOMFORTABLE BECOME THE PERSON THEY GO TO TO TALK TO IT ABOUT #OR TELL THEM THAT ITS OKAY TO CLOSE THE BOOK AND PUT IT AWAY #IT IS NOT MY JOB TO MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS FOLLOWING WHATEVER RULES YOU HAVE ON MEDIA CONSUMPTION AT YOUR HOUSE #MY JOB IS TO PROVIDE THE BOOK.DVD.THING. THEY WANT #YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO CONSUME MEDIA CRITCIALLY AND THAT SOMETIMES THAT INCLUDES #READING THINGS THAT MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE AND THEN HAVING A SAFE ADULT TO TALK TO IT ABOUT #AND NEWSFLASH: IF YOU ARE NOT SEEN AS SOMEONE SAFE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR CHILD WILL GO ELSEWHERE OR JUST #NEVER TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE CHECKING OUT #anyway. turns out i did go on a rant. whoops.#moose rants

Obey Me! Nightbringer Lesson 22 Spoilers!

Mammon has been my favorite brother ever since the very first Lesson of OG Obey Me!

I've also been a HUGE fan of Mammon's greedy behavior towards us probably because I like yanderes so much lol

But wow.... The newest Lesson in Obey Me! Nightbringer actually had me feeling.... apprehensive? Unsure?? Scared??? Horny?!?!

Aww... Beel 💙 (don't be so sure~ lol)

Mammon is aggressively possessive. Dangerously possessive. He's not thinking clearly.

I don't blame him since his sin is obviously taking over and he is unable to control himself. But....

If the same thing is gonna happen with the rest of the boys, we better buckle up and hold on tight!

Personally, I feel like I'd be able to handle Mammon, Levi, and Belphie. Possibly even Satan since I can understand his wrath/rage (though I might just be way too overconfident there).

But Lucifer, Asmo, and Beel?

Asmo will be trying to fuck seduce us nonstop. Beel may possibly try to devour us.

And Lucifer's overflowing pride will probably mean that he will view any help that we try to offer him as us, a "lowly human", underestimating and patronizing him... which will severely piss him off.

I'm hoping all of this means that we will start forging pacts with the brothers along the way/as we help each of them.

Because if not... We're screwed considering our magic currently isn't working and Solomon's magic is progressively getting weaker.

At this point, I can't wait for the next lesson. I want to know what happens next, I want to see how we're gonna save Mammon. I want the entire story all at once even though that's not possible.... I'm just impatient xD

#it was nice to see Little D. again!#Barbatos was looking fine~ 👀#I'm also super curious to learn more about Nightbringer #Levi saving us made my heart go doki doki 💙#Asmo defending us was cute #Satan being so happy in the library was adorable too!#poor Mammon though #I will forever be obsessed with this game lol #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me one master to rule them all #obey me nightbringer #obey me nightbringer lesson 22 #obey me nightbringer lesson 22 spoilers

also honestly whole post is kind of not relevant to scotland right now anyway which makes the "young scot card" comment so utterly fucking bizarre????? the may elections are england and wales only. it's not a general election?! and for the equivalent scottish parliament elections (not being held in may, dw) you don't need ID to vote anyway. by the way.

#it's a westminster rule and as far as the residents of scotland go it only applies to general elections #and the GE HASN'T BEEN ANNOUNCED YET #so like. it's far from too late to get your entirely free card literally everyone is entitled to if they ask #the NEC doubles up as a library card too if you were wondering
