me texting a librarian friend was like
me: I can just email a librarian for free advice?
her: You can!
me: For free?
her: Yes!
me: Really?
her: Yes!!
me: Really?
her: YES.
her: I've never actually thought about how weird and anti-capitalist that system is.

The crew were later captured and hanged, except the women who were spared after being found to be pregnant. #BODtreasures
