Everyboddy Shut  UP Im THINKING About Finctional Character

David Tennant pissing off the Prime Minister bc he told government officials to stfu over their anti-trans bigotry and Michael Sheen literally poisoning himself investigating corporations dumping toxic chemicals in underprivileged areas is NOT the energy I expected from 2024 but oh man am I here for it.

Okay. This may sound strange and very odd, but I took a look at this before reading what it was, and the first thing that popped in my head was 'Oh, this is a post about David Bowie', because this looks like something he would have rocked while dressed like Ziggy Stardust.

I tried finding an image of him in something like this because I was certain I saw him in one before.

I didn't find him in a dressing gown. It wasn't even David dressed as Ziggy. It was David Bowie's album cover for 'The Man Who Sold The World'.

I hope no one minds me venting every now and then. This is the only platform my parents don't follow, and I just need a safe place to share how I feel every so often.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
