Reminds me of the time HBO didn't click off for months after the free week trial when I was like 12.

I am retired now but still dig into pubmed online when I am curious and want good science to inform me. I fear for what will happen to that with the new world order so hostile to science and education

I remember getting denied access to the medical library in the hospital near my home. They realised my B of Health science was in acupuncture and herbal medicine and after 2 yrs i was bumped. It was insane as all libraries in Australia are open to the public

Ugh, that is the worst

Would it be cheaper to enroll in college to get full access credential than paying for academic libraries? 🤔 lol

They should give you some kind of emerita status!

This is like when my student ID I used to use to slip the lock on the computer lab door at my college broke in the door, 2 years after I graduated. My free high-speed Internet!! I shouted “I’m never coming here again!”

Time for a trip to the public library 🥳 many have access to online databases of journal articles too!

This was me when Spotify finally figured out last year that I wasn't a student anymore.

Luckily, Overleaf still doesn't know that I'm no longer at Georgia Tech, and I ain't telling them.
