Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money – USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

Helpful links to all of the above:

Overdrive: https://www.overdrive.com/

Hoopla: https://www.hoopladigital.com/

Freegal: https://www.freegalmusic.com/home

More places to find FREE EBOOKS:

Standard eBooks (basically stuff off of Project Gutenberg, but prettified)

Baen Free Library

Book Bub – Free eBooks and Free Kindle books

Bubblin Books

Useful if you’re an ebook power user: Calibre

many libraries also give you access to KANOPY which has free movies (mostly documentaries but last i checked Moonlight was on there!)

If you live in Massachusetts the Boston public library will give you an electronic library card that you can use on overdrive, and a couple other places for free eBooks, audio books, and movies and TV shows

Frida Kahlo.

The other woman in this photo is Chavela Vargas, an influential ranchera singer-songwriter. Though she didn’t “officially” come out as a lesbian until late in life, she was well-known for dressing in men’s clothing and not changing lyrics/pronouns when performing songs traditionally sung by men. She and Frida are alleged to have had a relationship. 

Frida once told her, “I only live for you and Diego.” (Diego was Frida’s husband).

behold: a friend

his name is Pig Nose, and he’s a 80+ year old white sturgeon who lives in the Fraser River. he was previously an urban legend in BC, but then this one guy caught him in August ‘16 and again in October ‘17. both times, he was released shortly after they took measurements and pictures. the lil stubby dude is still trolling the river bottom to this day.
