Here's To The Single Women In Their Twenties And Thirties And Forties.

Here's to the single women in their twenties and thirties and forties.

Here's to the single women who collapse on their sofas after work with their pets and smile while they drink a glass of wine and watch their favorite show.

Here's to the single women who travel every chance they get.

Here's to the single women who sew their own costumes for the Renaissance Fair and go with all of their girlfriends.

Here's to the single women with fifteen piercings who save up for a new tattoo every other month.

Here's to the single women who have overflowing bookshelves and messy cars and enough reusable bags to insulate a house.

Here's to the single women who drink too much sparkling water and diet soda, who buy the family sized bag of their favorite candy and smuggle it into the movie theater.

Here's to the single women who plan brunches and book clubs and movie nights just to have another excuse to get together and laugh for hours on end.

Here's to the single women who work two jobs and spend their days off doing laundry and cleaning their apartment.

Here's to the single women who blast music in their cars and dance around their kitchens with headphones in while they bake brownies instead of cooking dinner.

Here's to the single women budgeting every penny to pay for rent, groceries, and student loans, because they don't have a second income from a significant other.

Here's to the single women who have realized their sanity is more important than what society says they should be doing.

Here's to the teachers, the nurses, the minimum wage workers, and every profession in between where us single women are trying to make a living.

Don't listen to everyone telling you that you are doing it wrong. That your hobbies are frivolous or that you should be looking for a relationship or that you should have kids by now. Keep living your life. Buy the book. Take the trip. Lick the spoon. You don't need a romantic counterpart to live a fulfilled life. You've got this, babe.

ISTG, nurses are the only reason there is any accountability in healthcare.

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.

for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.

so how can you help?

boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.

learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.

get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.

donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.
