do you ever read a book and think UGH there was totally not nearly enough about the parisian sewage system in this!!!??? because if you answered yes, boy do i have the novel for you

Jane Austen was the goat. 200+ years later and not only still in print and in demand, but still read for pleasure and comfort by every living generation of readers, still funny af and smart as hell, still full of wisdom about personal character, still making everyone love to hate Mr. Collins. Her legacy as one of the greatest to ever do it in the English language remains unbothered by pejorative genre labels. Moisturized. Happy. In its lane. Focused. Flourishing. 

another important thing to remember is 1) u can pick up any hobby at any point in ur life and get outstandingly good at it & 2) the project u've been working on & aren't pleased w the current outcome so far will not be your last. u will draw/crochet/paint/sculpt/write another piece, and another, and you will have many chances to be fully content w your craft. so you should cherish the joy of making art instead of worrying ab the results & think ab how lovely it is that we're all vessels for artistry and we can share the divine act of creation!!!!!

gentle reminder that this is ur sign to pick up the hobby you quit bec you thought you weren't good enough at it. making mediocre art is the point of being alive <3

I'm sobbing

Seattle Public Library is doing this awesome program called Books Unbanned that allows teens and young adults (ages 13-26) access to their collection of e-books and e-audiobooks from anywhere in the USA. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and you get their Books Unbanned card. Please share this information far and wide. I know they're not the only ones to have done this, but the more the merrier!
