If you don’t live in the U.S., there are only a few U.S. libraries that will allow you to acquire a library card. I think libraries are a great resource! I am just saying that unfortunately not everyone has access to them.
I am not defending piracy, but 1) it is really *really* easy to pirate a book, and 2) not everyone has access to a library.
This not really helpful, but Triumphs are pretty much perfect for me. This is one of my most-used features in Braytech.
A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life
“It is always thus, impelled by a state of mind that is destined not to last, that we make our irrevocable decisions.”
Marcel Proust
My dad, Joe, smiling into the camera, wearing a gray sweater with a blue shirt underneath. He is beautiful.
My dad, Joe, died earlier this year at the age of 94 and since then, seeing very old men makes me cry because they are all so beautiful and because they all remind me of him.
You’ve got all my love, Joe.
