Seattle Public Library Is Doing This Awesome Program Called Books Unbanned That Allows Teens And Young

I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to

I love this band. I fell in love with them again seeing them live finally after so many years. I just could never catch a show until this year. This is one of their newer tracks.

FYI, this actually seems the most plausible. Meta straight up said they won't uphold ethical filters against hate. The TT agenda was probably an attempt for some US corp to buy it out and TT said no bc they are foreign but agreeed to play along for the $$. Social media has been coopted at least a decade ago. I don't even know why I'm posting this thinking this gets any traction. Screaming void.

I logged into my deviantart. I used to like perusing the main page for people's art. Everything I clicked was AI generated. I play with Midjourney every once in a while for curiosity and draft ideas, but I never thought to think what is generated is my own. I definitely wouldn't sell it as my own art either.

I didn't realize how disappointed I would be. I love seeing people's art because it shows talent and skill.

New Year’s 2025: Paris celebrates with dazzling fireworks around Eiffel ...

This was my favorite NYE display. The family was all sick with colds but we enjoyed watching the displays from around the world.

Went on vacation and hit up some book stores. Everyone in the family got something.

Physical books are the best. But I admit, I'm trying to move towards ebooks more. I just don't have enough shelf space for all the books we get.

I actually tried to sell some books to a used book store. Got some store credit, which was nice. But they didn't take all the books, lol. I had a copy of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. I guess it's old, outdated, or they had too many copies, so they wouldn't take it. I admit I never read it.

Using Libby for borrowing books from the library is awesome. I have a Nook Glowlight 4+, and I fell in love with it some more over vacation. The backlight feature is key for nighttime reading. That's when I can get most of my reading in.

Unfortunately I have to side load from my computer and use Adobe tools. But for regular non-DRM epubs, I can download on my phone, use a USB cable between phone and Nook and sideload easy peasy. My now favorite feature of Android.
