Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

I’m sure everyone here knows what to do when given police instructions.

I was trying to explain tumblr to someone who had never used it before and she said “So what do people post there? Videos, like on tiktok?” and it took all my self control not to say “Mostly we just post bullshit.”

Wild, I too explained tumblr to someone today, and I did not refrain from saying we posted and reblogged fandom bullshit 🤣

She literally had NO frame of reference for ANY of it and I was just like “how do I even describe this site”

This dudes trapped In Kabul now btw

bit of a pickle

Following this dumbass’ adventures today has been the only silver lining on a very awful day of news

This is just like the situation with the short story “I sexually identify as an attack helicopter,” by Isabel Fall, a story exploring gender, sexuality and violence, which used the transphobic copypasta as a title in the same way many members of the LGBTQ community have reclaimed some pejoratives over time. The author didn’t give out much personal information and so the internet piled on, accusing her of being transphobic. The author was recently revealed to be a trans woman who stopped her transition because of how she was treated and spoken about by members of her own community and other critics on the internet.

#to make this clear harassment isn’t okay even if the actors truly were cishet

Some of those treatment centers have abysmal mortality rates. They detox heroin addicts, then let them go. Most relapse within a few weeks, and when they relapse, they’ve lost their tolerance, and some miscalculate and die. A significant percentage of their patients die within two weeks of discharge. Not exactly a glowing recommendation.

the mormon really jumps out in this paragraph

I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it

Me too

LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENT 

I mean his name is Alfredo Linguini so I always assumed he was Italian

I’m sorry his first name is Alfredo?

ALFREDO???

he’s American you guys his mother was American it was mentioned in the beginning

I’m sorry, I’ve moved on to the fact his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names

Alfredo was a name before it was a sauce let’s go over the movie from the top again

in college a teacher explained that criticizing gentrification wasn’t about shaming or blaming the white people that were most likely living in the only apartments they could afford - it was about asking why their living there was inherently valuable. it’s not really about who - it’s about why. why white lives are literally valued more. why is the presence of white people a gentrifying force? what is it about whiteness that elicits immediate value? 

And if you look up the stages of gentrification, it usually goes like "artists and teachers and etc move into this neighborhood because its what they can afford" and THEN "developers notice these people and try to capitalize on them."

Lol don’t fuck with humans

I think you might just have fallen for the ambush.

I'm all for analysing how tragedy is meaningful and important and so on but I do think people really underrate the "wanna see something fucked up?" instinct as a reason for engaging with fiction.
