Changed my life. Can pull up a digital version of any book I'm reading anywhere (like on my laptop in class😈) completely free. Free audiobooks. Upped my literary consumption by at least 75%. Lots of TV and movies too. Unsubscribe from your streaming service. Save $15. Get a library card.

It's FREE and depending on your local library system, having a library card also comes with:
- Hoopla: Lets you stream movies and check them out FOR FREE
- Libby: E-book collections so you can read books/magazines/etc for FREE
- Equipment rentals: Some libraries in my hometown have game consoles/musical instruments/etc that patrons can check out
And a bunch of cool stuff
The more active patrons there are, the more likely they'll keep their funding! Basically, support your local library! Get a card! Use the services!

You can register and get the cards on your phone now. The library app lets you download ebooks, audiobooks, and lets you check out books ahead of time. You can access most publications through your library (free nyt cooking). They have language apps that are better than duolingo. Access to all of LinkedIn course content and certification classes. And a lot more stuff I’m just learning about. Plus getting a card helps keep the libraries open and funded. 10/10 experience so far

As pi.fyi gains popularity I notice more and more people using it like twitter/trying to hit an algorithm/”tweetdecking” recs/memeing
so incongruent to me because pi truly feels like a place of respite from all the aforementioned internet behavior. using it to identify and share small joys from your day, talk about things you want more of in your life, share about yourself, explore things you’re curious about … I promise that’s “good content”. 🫶

I love hand-writing a letter. the delayed gratification of it, talking about anything and nothing, decorating it with cartoons and drawings and stickers. Sending little extras and photographs with tiny micro-playlists scrawled out on the back of it. It takes at least an hour to craft a good letter, one worth receiving and replying to, and it's intimate to think about someone nonstop for that long. I just love that form of communication.
