“You’re not hurt, Watson? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!”
It was worth a wound — it was worth many wounds — to know the depth of oyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.
As someone who volunteers at a public library and has seen just about everything they can do, I can say with absolutely certainty that they’re some of the most important things we’ve got. They help spread literacy, information, and education, they serve as public gathering places, and they provide free educational programs and activities for people of all ages. They’re some of the most welcoming, safe (librarians in my area at least actually are required to go through training on how to deal with weapons, drugs, and other unfortunate circumstances), and useful places we have.
I don’t know why, but I think some Americans don’t realise how big the UK is….
American Customer: you’re English right? Do you know the bookshop between Wales and Bristol that has lots of books in?

where’s that post where the british person was like “oh yeah i only get to see my dad 2-3 times a year because he lives so far away :/” and a person asked “oh no how far away is he?” and the british person said “75 minutes”
op it literally takes about 20 minutes to get to wales from bristol, op that’s a reasonable question do you understand geography

It takes my mom an hour to drive to work. Sometimes more. Europeans are cowards.
“Leave Europe alone you fucking colonizers”
Should we tell them?
I drove 6 hours just to pick someone up and bring them home because it’s nbd
Sorry, I’m still stuck on “Leave Europe alone, you colonizers.”
Colonizers telling colonizers to leave colonizers alone

A couple more + a wallpaper I made for myself bc lookin at my phone and remembering to breathe kept me alive a few years ago and I’m sure someone else out there could benefit from a reminder that even though things aren’t always perfect, there’s no need to let it consume you because it’s actually still okay
(my mom and I repeat to each other constantly when we’re stressed, it’s pretty helpful to hear these words from someone who gets what it means to you when you need it)
