Society doesn’t exist for the sole benefit of the upstanding and idealized. I want libraries to exist for those striving to gain education for self betterment yes, I want them to exist as places of entertainment and existence for those down on their luck as well, but also a place where a person who is intoxicated in a way where they aren’t causing a disturbance can embrace the beauty of the world is also a valuable function.
And shit, I wish there could be weed and acid/shrooms days at zoos. I’d love to trip at a zoo
A corollary to “everything is a dildo, if you’re brave enough” would be “every day at the zoo is an acid/schroom day, if you’re brave enough”
Every day at the planetarium is definately weed day.
This only works depending on how baked you are though. I worked for a major metropolitan public library system a long time ago, and one time a dude wandered in smelling heavily of weed, and wearing only one shoe. He came up to the circulation desk and asked to order a pizza. When informed that it was a library and didn’t have pizza, he blinked and looked around, and upon seeing all the shelves of books, he said “Oh.”, and then turned around and left. To this day I never know if he ever found some pizza or his other shoe.
Did he look like this…?
That is the face of a superstar.
To be fair, that’s on you. If libraries had pizzas, I would start visiting them.
That’s how you get oily page corners.
For a time, while I was in court trying to get custody of my son, I was only given like 2 hours of parental time with him, once a week. Drop-off point was an hour from my home, so there wasn’t really much I could do with him apart from go to parks (in the summer) and the library. It was a life saver for just giving me time to be a Dad. Public libraries are one of the greatest things in human society, just a place you can go to exist as a person. Almost nothing is expected of you apart from wearing clothes, shoes, don’t masturbate where people can see you, and respect the books.
don’t masturbate where people can see you
Is there a story to that? You can’t just leave us hanging.
Yeah, I got shared custody and I see my son all the time, life is alot better now.

CRAWLLLLLLIIIIINNNNNGGG INNNN MYYYYYY SKIIIIIINNNNN on everything that wasn’t playing the Beatles or Britney.
Or maybe that was just my high school.
Reading after edibles is so fun though. I mean everything is fun but maybe you haven’t tried it
I saw recently my local library has started to prohibit kids from simply hanging out at the library. Not all are the same.
Edit: context.
Our local libraries literally encourage kids to loiter there. They have tons of programs, activities, and events throughout the week aimed at younger and older kids alike. There’s even sections dedicated to all demographics with toys for younger kids and anime/videogames/,etc for older kids.
That is super fucked. Going to the library, grabbing a stack of comics, and then settling down in a quiet corner to read them was one of my happy places as a kid.
I had a library card, but I didn’t bother checking out stuff I could just read during the hours I hung out at the library. And the place was comfy, quiet heaven.
Time to get active in your community to fix that. Whoever came up with that policy should be fired.
Might be local parents that pushed for it, honestly. It’s become a popular style of parenting. I call it the bonsai method.
I’m a simple man. I see a possum spouting truth and I upvote.
There is not an possum emoji. I am sad.
me right now
That’s a story that someone would make up who never smoked weed.
