DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one

butchered tongue is a shout out to all of the people whose cultures were ripped away from them, whose languages were maimed and are now either dead or gravely wounded; a shout out to all the immigrants who are now living on foreign land, who have to fight tooth and nail and everything they have to adapt to a new culture, learn a new language in order to get by and survive; a shout out to folks who aren't allowed to come home, wherever "home" is - because after all: what is more violent than the crime against the roots of the people, to deny one of their heritage, their rights to speak their mother tongue, after all, that is the violence that weakened the connection between people, because language in all forms is so beautiful and important, and yes butchered tongue represents the circle of violence because the song itself stands for the vulnerability and desperation to preserve whatever left of the brutality aftermath.

being a black hozier fan sucks/is tough/ is kinda lonely bc y'all consistently do this right here (couldn't have said it better myself)⬇️⬇️⬇️

LOVE the album but really cannot partake in the online celebration/discussions. just have to diligently avoid reductive takes from non-Black fans or else i will rip my hair out🤠

my darling

you ever see two mutuals on the dash and think "theyre a package deal. do not separate" ?

I’ve always wanted to recreate will’s iconic painting!! Nothing will ever compare the the original, of course… but I still enjoyed messing with the colors and other details and giving up on technique :D in fact, I ended up making the dragon a lot more huggable then initially planned, but who’s to say they’re the enemy? In this universe, the party is just makin a new friend :))

tips for how you can use the library for other things than books.

1. don't own any streaming services or tv show/movie not on your streaming servie?? go see if you local library has the movie/tv show and even if they don't they can see if any branches within you county has it and then have it shipped to them for you to pick up
2. want to host a private event like a dnd group, magic the gathering gaming, local small club, small organization or just need a quiet place to do work/study/take a test (this only applies if your local libarary doesn't have study rooms) Book the meeting room.
3. Depending on where you are your local library might have other things to check out that isn't books or digital media. For example my library has museum passes and board games you can check out. A library my coworker used to work at in Arizona has seeds you could check out. So don't be afraid to ask what other option you have.
4. HAVE A KID??? but can't really afford to take them to fun/nice things because of this econmeny look at what events you library offers (sure you might have to drive to a different city/town BUT ITS FREE) (also the usually have really fun things during the summer for example I think this summer we had some people from NASA talk with the kids and give a presentation at our main branch)
5. Speaking of events they aren't only for kids. All departments has events including YA and Adults. Yes adults has events examples can be decorate your own wine glass (you get a free wine glass), or make your own key chain???
6. speaking of making your stuff most libraries usually have activities you can take home for example right now at my library we have a macrame hanging plant holder kit for adults to take home..
7. ALSO BACK TO KIDS because kiddos and their education is important. Libraries have this neat little thing called playviews and Launchpads. Playviews is basically portable tv screen that is loaded with education tv shows that is based on a theme (like pbs) and Luanchpads is tablet that is preloaded with educational games and they are usually themed by subject. They are a great way to enterain your kid and educate them. And honestly if you are going to public event where you have to bring your kid but you know your kids is gonna be board just check out one of these badboys.
8. this is sorta breaking the rules but I am adding it anyway if You are parent on here maybe or maybe not your might be a new parent. The library has a section in the kids section called Parents books that you can read to your children. They are basically picture books but they adress touchy topics or topics that require an explaintion. such as race, bullying, dealing with emotions, LGBTQ(becuae we live in a hetronormtive socity), Gender Idity (again hetronormtive socity) Loss of a loved one, moving to a new place, ectra. These are great tools if you and your child are going through something and you don't want keep your out of the dark but also don't know how explain to them on a level they would understand.
9. WE HAVE PRINTERS AND SCANNERS!!!! usealy you have up a certain number of prints you have until you have to pay.
10. WE ALSO HAVE COMPUTERS WITH THE INTERNET!!!

TLDR

LIBRARIES ARE HERE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL ECONICMIAL STATIS BUT ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TIGHT ON MONEY. so eiher call or go check out your local library system and see what services they can offer you.
