Before erasers were invented, people used breadcrumbs to remove pencil marks. Hopefully, no one mistook their notes for lunch.

A library is a loophole in history. Every book a quiet rebellion. Every reader, a spark that won’t go out. 📚💙

South Dakota is ALSO working on passing laws to criminalize librarians! Why the fuck aren’t more people getting mad?

I feel like only a few of us are screaming about this.

The moon is just the sky’s bookmark, holding its place between days.

Books, like people, breathe. The paper expands and contracts with humidity, taking in the air around it. A library is alive in ways you can’t always see.

Love this game, what a gem. It’s like an Indiana Jones simulator. I’m trying to finish it up too, though, before Avowed. So ready!

Ink has a memory.

Ice is water, holding its breath.

Yes, please!

Tea is always the answer.

The average pencil can draw a line at least two miles long; some even say the average pencil can draw a line 35 miles long!

A pen is a wand in disguise. 🖋️🪄

The University of Iowa’s library is home to the Charlotte M. Smith Collection, which boasts around 4,000 miniature books, each measuring less than 3 inches in height or width. This collection spans from the 17th century to the present, covering a broad range of subjects. 💙📚

Of course, they probably have a hangover cure:

1. Honey water—a little sugar boost to take the sting out of the buzz.
2. Sleeping in a flower—nature’s version of crashing on a comfy couch.
3. Pollen snacks—the bee equivalent of greasy fries after a night out.
4. Avoiding the queen

Bees sometimes get drunk on fermented nectar and can’t fly straight back to the hive. Imagine being a drunk bee trying to explain yourself to your queen.

The library initiative in Colombia is called “Biblioburro”, where a teacher named Luis Soriano travels to remote villages with his two donkeys, Alfa and Beto, carrying books for children. It’s a wonderful effort to bring literacy and education to areas that are difficult to access by other means.

In Colombia, there’s a library that travels on the back of a donkey, bringing books to children in remote villages. If you could take a library anywhere in the world, where would it go?

Thank you Winter, for the way you polish the stars.

A yawn is a silent scream for coffee.

the main thing i've been trying to do in poems lately is surprise myself somehow in every line and idk if the poems are good but it's a helluva lot of fun

I love this! An archeology of fantasy

What if clouds are the sky’s forgotten dreams?

For example, the word honorificabilitudinitatibus appears only once in Shakespeare’s works (in Love’s Labour’s Lost). It’s an over-the-top, playful way of saying “the state of being able to achieve honors.”

Ever heard of a hapax legomenon? It’s a word that appears only once in a text or even an entire language’s history—like a linguistic unicorn. Shakespeare used thousands of them, and they often carry mystery, power, or a one-time-only magic.

Words have power. Choose them carefully.
