“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

If this post persuades even one person to get a free library account and use it, my time on this hellsite will not have been spent in vain

Ghost Files spotted on ABC!

In a recent episode of the ABC series, The Rookie, two of the characters are watching tv and it shows an episode of Ghost Files!

The moment was posted on Instagram.

Looking at what Ryan's wearing (no beanie and shorts) it was easy to tell the episode is GF 2x02 The Trapped Spirits of a Haunted Escape Room. The dialogue in the second screenshot is Ryan saying "There's something in here." which is also how we confirmed the episode and GF timestamp.

The moment is brief but fans have noted that it might be leading to a longer cameo by the ghoul boys in a future episode!

everybody wants you and i don’t like a gold rush.

ryan bergara in pod watcher episode #1 <3

commuting to the bit. yeah ill be there in about 40 minutes just keep stalling

the way haymitch must have seen it as all his ghosts coming back to haunt him at once when katniss walked onto the train with the face of burdock and asterid, the pin of maysilee, the voice of lenore dove, and a background so devastatingly similar to his own. of course sweetheart slipped out. and of course he did everything he could to keep her alive

The beef between Haymitch and Snow is so funny. The way Haymitch drank an entire pitcher of milk just so Snow wouldn't get any, so Snow kept supplying him milk throughout his entire stay in the Capitol after his victory... bro what are you doing you're the president of Panem😭

No because there’s something to be said about President Snow’s depiction in the original trilogy as this cunning, calculating and unflappable dictator, only for the curtain to be pulled back to reveal him as an extremely petty man who can’t take a single potshot to his ego. He really is just an extremely petty, extremely insecure, extremely vindictive man whose entire life has literally been keeping up the illusion of power and prestige for something that has been crumbling for ages. Who believes he’s entitled to everything he wants and rages when he’s denied it. Who takes every insult, every threat to his and the Capitol’s perceived greatness and security, intentional or no, and takes it to the furthest possible lengths in order to get back at them. Katniss sees him as intimidating and threatening because that’s the propaganda she’s been fed all her life, but in reality? Coriolanus Snow is *pathetic*. He’s a powerful man with zero morals or empathy, yes, but more than that? He’s *pathetic.*

I know it’s a running joke that Snow’s a grown man beefing with a seventeen year old and his ex of sixty plus years that he dated for three months, but genuinely. *Genuinely.* This man holds on to even the slightest insult, because he can’t take the idea of something acting or existing outside his perception of the world, and he *despises* when something shatters the perception he has of himself. *That’s* why he hates Lucy Gray so much—because she had the gall to force him to see a District girl as desirable and—heaven forbid—almost human. Because she was able to trick him and catch him off guard. Because she had the *audacity* to disappear, leaving him with the pit in his stomach of never, *never* knowing what happened to her. Because Snow *needs* control, he *needs* things to only exist and work a certain way, and that’s what made totalitarianism so appealing to him. It ensures he has the power he’s been denied all his life, yes, but more than that it allows him to ensure that the world—or at least, Panem—works the way he *thinks* it should work. The Capitol are elites who never question their status and privilege, who never need to live in anything less than luxury (the way he feels he should have). The Districts are barbaric lower class citizens who are only good for labor and entertainment. The regime is all-pervasive and all-powerful. He is the Greatest Man That Ever Lived. The Number One Peacekeeper even. Snow lands on top.

And the Games. The Games are supposes to be a dehumanizing reminder of the Districts’ savagery. That, left to their own devices, humans are selfish and violent and only out for themselves. Like Snow is. Because why would anyone ever be *not* like Snow? He literally calls himself “the best humanity has to offer.” So everyone else is either like him or worse. His experience and thoughts are the default, they are *law.* And if they aren’t? Shut up, yes they are. This is part of why he has Haymitch’s games edited so heavily, to destroy the idea that tributes would ever unite together as anything other than a pack of predators. This is why he has the tenth Games completely scrubbed from existence—so that there will be no memory of the year a “savage” from twelve survived because she won a Capitol boy’s affections. This is why he has the Games so thoroughly processed and manufactured overall—so that the Capitol citizens get their entertainment, yes, but also so that any memory of a Games that didn’t play out the way *he wants*, any example of a Games that defies *his* will, is forgotten. Seneca playing so hard into the “star-crossed lovers” bit is threatening not just because it highlighted how two kids from the poorest district were able to break the rules, but because it focused on a connection that breaks with Gaul’s teaching—that “humanity undressed” is nothing but cruelty and self-preservation.

Love shouldn’t be able to blossom in an arena. And as Snow said, he sees the whole world as an arena. Which is why he tries so hard to get into Haymitch’s head about Lenore Dove, why he hijacks Peeta to hate not the rebellion, not the districts, but *Katniss specifically.* Because as far as he’s concerned, “love” is another word for the possessiveness and obsession he felt towards Lucy Gray. And he *hates* the idea that any other version of love, any kind of love that’s genuine and equal and mutual, can exist. So he projects his feelings for Lucy Gray onto Haymitch and Lenore Dove, why he eventually has Lenore Dove killed with his signature poison when Haymitch survives the Games, when he had his mother and Sid burned alive. Why he has Peeta’s memories of Katniss be the ones targeted when he’s being hijacked. Because Haymitch and Peeta, unlike him, *loved* their girls. Truly loved, the same way Lenore Dove and Katniss love them. The way Lucy Gray most likely loved Snow, and he *can’t stand to let that love exist.* Because just by existing, they defy defies the way he sees love—as something dangerous that will inevitably leave you vulnerable to attack and betrayal.

In Snow’s mind, he’s running the world the way it’s meant to be run. The *natural* way it should be run. The way he sees the world is the *natural* way the world works. And yet, the fact that this world he runs is so heavily manufactured, that he has to go to such lengths to affirm his beliefs and keep this structure strong, is proof alone that there is nothing natural about it. And deep down, I like to think Snow knows that. At least, he’s aware of it, and he refuses to acknowledge it. Which is why he goes to such extremes whenever someone defies him—whether it be by plotting a rebellion, to eating a handful of berries, to finding friends in a death match, to even just being in love. He can’t tolerate the idea of something, anything, not going the way he thinks it should.

He’s your standard dictator, really—a small, small man with far, far too much power, trying with all his might to make himself look big.
