"Don't Use Libby Because It Costs Libraries Too Much, Pirate Instead" Is Such A Weird, Anti-patron, Anti-author

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

I feel like talking a bit today! Don't worry, it's not one of my venting depression rants.

I want to talk music.

I absolutely love music, and I firmly believe it is because of my mom. Three of my earliest memories are of music, and one of them is my mom singing "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi.

My other memory of music involves one of those old stereo systems of the late 1990s blaring "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. This one is odd because I do not remember exactly who was playing the music.

My third music memory was with my brothers E and C. I can't remember the song, but it was by Snoop Dogg.

Music, as you can tell, is rooted deep in my core memories.

Sometimes, I feel very neglected.

By me, my parents, my boyfriend...just kinda ignored and unwanted.

I feel like I shouldn't exist.

It's different than being suicidal...it's more like the dissatisfaction of my life consumes me and I just don't want to exist.

I try to be happy, I try VERY hard.

I try and I try; also, if that isn't enough, I try even more. However, I always end up back at dissatisfaction.

I am blessed, I am thankful and grateful for my blessings. I feel horrible about my dissatisfaction because I am so blessed that I shouldn't even be dissatisfied.

I just want to know, does anyone else feel this way?
