Happy Pride

Text I got from my guy friend who’s currently dating a man for the first time when I asked him how it’s going

This hands down the best comment in the notes, I will not be taking criticism.

STAY SAFE!! [ID: the Gilbert Baker pride flag with the words “Happy pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!” in all-caps black text over it. /end ID]

"Blackbird" - personal work, inspired by my hometown. Blackbirds are my favourite - they sing so beautifully.

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

I reread the Anne series several years back - they were free through this.  I need to reread Pride and Prejudice at least once a year, and my e-book version is from this.  Someone recommended Jekyll and Hyde to me a few weeks back and I got a free copy from this.  When I went to Haworth on my last holiday before the plague times, I brought books by the Bronte sisters with me to read or reread that I downloaded from here.  It’s a great resource.

I'm so excited to see people falling in love with classic media through Dracula Daily! Let's keep that fire blazing!

it's a super nice project, and you can find some really nice readers there!

and the more popular the classic - the more likely someone has uploaded it

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Project Gutenberg began in 1971; the first text was the US Declaration of Independence, shared through the university computer system. That was the start of "hey computers + public domain text = FREE BOOKS FOR EVERYONE."

And yes, Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain. But I got bored with Sherlock Holmes after a few months, and became much more pumped when I discovered his mirror opposite, Arsene Lupin. Because when you're not only young and penniless but living through the Great Recession, what you really want to read about isn't the world's greatest detective solving crimes. It's the world's greatest thief robbing fat cats blind while pantsing the police along the way.

This is so powerful that in the old times they made a whole-ass index of every word in the Bible, called a concordance. It is now possible for every electronic book

Modern AU Batterie headcanon. I really want to see a story where Zacharie dies in some kind of accident, and Batter starts hallucinating him because of the constant guilt. Zacharie in his hallucinations would look all mangled and painful, just endlessly blaming Batter for what happened.

Saw this frame on a different reblog by @thatssroughbuddy but why does it look like Iroh is using his phone to take a photo of his nephew at a landmark

and of course Iroh is doing what-

And Iroh responds, "no, it's the northern lights."

No one on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport ever figured out why people die in space because they don’t need airplanes and never found it particularly interesting to climb tall mountains. Astronomers use telescopes to take pictures of the ever-growing pile of corpses on the moon.

the moral of the story is that a breathable atmosphere is important to one’s general well-being
