Sorry if I’m a broken record about utilizing your local library but also please go get a library card even if you don’t plan on doing anything with it! Anything we can do to support libraries as institutions by bumping their stats is a net good!

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
