@BlackAzizAnansi Your public library is waiting to assist you with a streaming service like Kanopy, Hoopla, or OverDrive. Just need a library card.

They're your tax dollars at work — generally no extra fees required.

@femme_mal @BlackAzizAnansi unfortunately, though, those services funnel huge amounts of library budgets into private hands—and for Overdrive at least, private equity: https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/could-kkrs-ownership-of-overdrive-raise-questions-about-simon-schuster-purchase

We need public platforms for public libraries.

@BlackAzizAnansi I like to remind folks that if they aren't too rural there are still FREE TV channels they can watch with just a set of rabbit ear antennas on top of their TVs.

@BlackAzizAnansi Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
