forgot how much i love em and then got caught in a rainstorm and took shelter in my local council run library. Such a great selection! a space with no pressure to do or buy anything! What a luxury to be able to just hang around in a public place.

I took out a library membership with my local council and it’s been great! I initially got it to borrow books, but the libraries host lots of free events and activities, and you can hang out in the comfy chairs or use the desks for as long as you want. It really makes you realise how little truly free spaces exist.

I simply love the library. I just moved to a new city and I’m looking for work and I can plop myself down in the library, go on my laptop and look for jobs, leaf thru some books, the membership gets me free tix to cultural institutions and free streaming, in my branch there is even a cute patio with comfy chairs to work outside! A blessing and one public thing US cities do really well

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
