market day: 02, the final day!

the kamealoha siblings enjoy mae's sweet berry waffles and lemonade on the final day of the weekend market. they also partake in some chestnut ridge gossip with a local named devin

karlee does a few more portraits before the day is done, including one for an older brother and a cheeky little sister (karlee thinks they're both very puppy-like and can't help but to tease libby)

mae by @pearlean devin by @maelfe jack & libby by @squea

karlee getting the adoring sentiment the very first time she talks to jack,,, no i get it he's so puppy

timeskip Molly concepts - probably when she's around 16-17 ish, maybe even early college? ( I'm not a big fan of the "ooh the bubbly character gets older and is now SUPER SAD" trope so this is more like... Molly is still Molly, she just gets older and faces more hardships/life stressors that come with age, and struggles to maintain the same high level of positivity/resiliency she used to have )

it's hard for me to describe the dread i feel about my job as a librarian—a job i love, which brings me so much joy—because people perceive book banning as a local issue, or an issue of certain states, but it operates on a much broader level, too. if you love your library, you should know what's happening in libraries and how much worse it could get.

yes, on the local level, it matters that you know who is on your library board and what they stand for, even though you might have only indirect control over who those people are. (my library board, for instance, is not voted in but appointed by the mayor, a position that doesn't technically run on partisan lines but in practice absolutely does.) your library board is probably who makes the final call when a book is challenged about whether to remove it from the hands of the people. and if the board is not committed to serving the community the library serves, they can take the freedom to read and access certain information away from people. which is, as you probably know, fascist.

and if you care about your local library, you should care about preventing conservatives from taking positions of power at every level, obviously including the national level. project 2025 explicitly seeks to shut down public institutions and criminalize librarians who distribute "pornographic" material — that is, queer and especially trans books. we have also seen a push to destroy works by authors of color banned for "teaching critical race theory," which means speaking to racism at all.

maybe there's no guarantee that a democrat being president means your local library won't be gutted. but there is every sign that if trump is reelected, public schools and libraries will be defunded, queer literature will be classed as pornography, and librarians will registered as sex offenders. that affects me as a librarian and a queer person, but i'm white and present female in a field that is still overwhelmingly white and female. we have no shortage of work to do within libraries to change that, but punishing queer librarians and librarians of color will only set us back and make librarianship more hostile, if it remains a viable profession at all. and all of this rebounds for the worst on our most marginalized communities.

i care about our rights, and i care whether you vote.

i recommend book riot's literary activism newsletter to learn more.

i let my mom use my library card like a week ago or so for her libby account (i don't use libby; occasionally i use hoopla; as far as digital services go i'm a loyal kanopy girl) and i went to check my library account online to see if my inter-library loan request was arrived and it said i had one title checked out already and i was like ???? bc i know i currently don't. and it showed that my mom is using libby to listen to an audiobook of fifty shades of gray. my life is worse now

i did this for tfota series, so let's do it for the inheritance games now. i've read like 200 ish pages of the first book (i forgot to do this lmaoo) and i'm up to the part where avery hears someone in her bedroom walls and she's just gone to libby's room. i went into this completely blind (all i knew was the information from the blurb, and also i knew there was a character called grayson bc of the comparisons ppl make between him and aaron warner from shatter me). so far, i love avery bc she's realistic and relatable and a strong fmc. also i love jameson so so so so much he's so baby, but i feel like if/when grayson starts to come in more i may grow to like him equally or maybe even more (but i doubt it bc idk but at the same time i loved locke sm from the cruel prince and look what happened w him!!) so yeah that's it for now. oh also oren is actually an icon and xander is so cute and funny i love him fr. and i want to shove thea's head down the toilet but yk

finally read the atlas complex and I wasn’t expecting much but it was so bad…at least nicolibby soulmates in every universe! he would have picked in her in the end (trust!) he said not now and he meant not now but that doesn’t mean forever-well it didn’t when he said it. overall nicolibby won it’s them in every life and he isn’t alive and happy with anyone else in this universe so it’s a win in my book

sorree i'm answering this late but you deserve a purple heart for finishing that book tbh the nicolibby of it all sent me into such a spiral that i have now decided that i will write a magical academic rivals to lovers for those of us that were lost in the trenches . . .

if Grayson ever goes back to Harvard (which i think he does), when Avery and Jameson go to Connecticut to collage together (in my head, they would live in an apartment that is halfway from each collage) and if Xander goes to MIT (which, again, i think its the school he’ll go once his sabbatic year ends), then the 4 of them would be living pretty close (grayson and xander would live around 2 hours from jameson by car)

is it just me. who is so angry when libraries have books in series but not the first one. like tbh i don't care if you've got the first one and not the rest, but you've got book two?? and not one?? you've got book 12?? but not one?????

i understand things happen to library books but i would THINK. that'd be an item of priority. to replace the first book in a series. if something were to happen.
