unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

[ID: tumblr tags from e-the-village-cryptid reading:
# terfs are like 'saying 'pregnant people' harms women because it diminishes the role women play in reproduction!' # as if everyone doesn't know that the majority of pregnant people are women # no cis women have ever been turned away from pregnancy-related healthcare because 'sorry you're a pregnant WOMAN # 'and this here says pregnant PEOPLE and everyone knows women aren't people'
# however trans and nonbinary pregnant people have been turned away because 'this clinic is for WOMEN' # gender neutral language helps trans and nonbinary people and is completely irrelevant to cis women. End ID.]
0 cis women have been harmed by gender neutral language around pregnancy

[ID: an illustration of a ring-tailed lemur on a branch, facing to the left. It is gazing curiously at a small blue butterfly and reaching for it with one paw. The background is light blue with yellow spots. End.]
Ring-tailed lemur! Endemic to Madagascar. They hang out in troops of up to around 30 lemurs, grooming or sunbathing. They’re the most well adapted lemur to terrestrial movement.

Honestly funniest thing Dragon Age could do is confirm that the only people who were ever correct about Andraste were that one mountain cult. Like yes actually she WAS reincarnated as a dragon and she DID live on this mountain and now her chosen are all dead thanks the the wardens and the chantry.

wip wednesday - soulmate AU style
“Hey,” Jim whispers, tracing nonsense patterns on Oluwande’s lovely skin with one fingertip, hours before he will be dragged away from them. “How many colours do you see?”
His voice is drowsy, sated, mouth soft when it presses against Jim’s forehead. “Just one. It’s real pretty. Bright, like – like what I imagine the sun to feel like.”
That’s not what their colour is like. Jim’s feels like the ocean, the starry night sky, the soothing cool of aloe on their skin.
“Huh,” they say. “Weird.”
--
(later, later)
Izzy’s leg goes in the ocean. Jim and Archie leave Frenchie with Fang, and slip away to wash the blood off their bodies. And she’s almost expecting it not to come up again, but as soon as they’re alone Jim turns to her, hands cupping her face, kissing her just as softly as before. Archie’s head goes a little blank, and she lets them hold her, kissing back until Jim breaks away and presses their forehead to hers.
“Tell me why my colours changed when we first touched,” they whisper. “Tell me why touching you now makes them so much brighter, just like when I touched him.”
Oluwande, Archie’s mind supplies, the lost soulmate. “I don’t know,” she whispers back, “all I know is that I’ve never seen colour a day in my life until I met you.”
It’s the cheesiest thing she’s ever fucking said. But Jim makes a low noise deep in their throat, and then they’re kissing her with a desperation that she understands far, far too well. And then their mouths are occupied with better things, and they stop talking altogether.

AN: These two snippets are from a longer Jim/Archie/Oluwande/Zheng soulmate AU that I'm doing for @garlicsoupweek!!
If you're a Jim/Olu or Archie/Jim/Olu/Zheng fan, go check out Garlic Soup Week, it's a prompt week focusing on our beloved TealOranges and Garlic Soup Polycule (and any mix and match Archie/Jim/Olu/Zheng pairings)!! Prompts got shared last week, and the week is in late June!!

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
