Hell yes. Long live libraries! (I'm 100% unbiased, being a librarian myself)

Love that the community came together to support the library, lgbtq+ rights, and the right to information.

Never thought I see a baba is you meme, but I am here for it

Feel this. I've slowly gathered a more people than I expected (~60) on an 'idlehands' community for fidgets and skill toys, and I'm now hoping they migrate with me over to a new instance since I expect the .ml issue will be a problem (if not this time, going forward)

So, if anyone likes seeing fidgets and skill toys (begleri, chetki, knucklebones, yo-yos, etc) feel free to join over at: !idlehands@lemmy.blahaj.zone :)

Yeah in the last week or so I've noticed an uptic in snark / downright rude responses compared to when I joined ~2 months ago

I hope the trend does not continue

Some libraries take book donations (either for adding to the collection, or for book sales), little free libraries (you can find local ones here), 'Friends of the Library' will sell them and donate the proceeds to the library, second hand book shops, thrift shops, charity shops, and of course there's always throwing them out.

Oh hell yeah. Thanks for starting it / sharing!
