#'There' as in literally in the library

The library... My plan is working!

Gale: So, I can take you to a magical starscape where I can make your dreams come true.

Me: Or... we could stay in the library. Have all these illusory books got text in them? Or is it the Faerunian equivalent of Lorem Ipsum? Omg, you have a bookcase ladder! There are so many books you can't fit them all on the shelves! So, when can we be married? I'm free tomorrow. Or right now. Right now works.

yesterday I went to a little meeting at my local queer community center and I was admiring their bookshelves and mentioned that I work at the public library and someone said "well I bet they don't have any [LGBTQ+ books] at our library" and I was like um. yes we do. we have tons of them. half of our employees are queer leftists so they said "oh well I bet they don't in [nearby rural county]" and I was like uh once again yes they absolutely do. gay people live and work there as well

so here's a quick reminder that if you don't think your local library has enough queer centered materials you should actually check before assuming, and if you're not satisfied with their collection you should submit a request for more such books. I don't know what the political landscape of libraries looks like outside the us rn, but within the us no matter where you are, I promise you there are employees at your library fighting for inclusion and intellectual freedom and they can't win without vocal public support

hey did I ever tell you guys about the therapy session I had like two weeks ago in which my therapist was basically like “hey you have daddy issues” and I said “NUH UH!!!” and then when I left and got into my car the first song that came up on shuffle was “guys my age” by hey violet and I just about slammed my head into the steering wheel

POV you’ve informed the Queen and the Court’s Sorcerer of something and they very clearly know something that they’re not letting on

Dream of the Endless would be a great professor, but you know what else he'd be amazing at?

Children's Librarian

Kids are full of stories. He would absolutely love to hear them and help nurture that creativity. The really young ones could be read to and have nap time. Parents would love him. Kids would love him. Hob would love him.

also it would just be really cute 😌

I am once again asking for recommendations of Greek myth inspired books 📖 So far I loved reading the Maidens and The Song of Achilles, but my favourite has to be Pandora by Susan Stokes! Absolutely hated The Silence of Girls by Pat Baker, don’t understand why it exists. (Update: tumblr book recs post here [x])
