Please support your local library. Even if you just get a card and keep it active, it helps with stats that they use to get more funding.

Unfortunately there’s a website that tells them specific books and passages to challenge.

As a masochistic woman, I feel attacked. 😅

The ones that affect you directly hit the hardest.

5pm? I’m down.

C U When U Get There by Collio. My brother listened to him when I was young and I tie this song to him and a brief period when I was happy as a kid.

Thanks for the tip!

I usually learn through trial and error and have found other markers/pens that do work.

Don’t use Sharpies on cheap acrylic paints. They will dry out immediately and be ruined.

Oof. What a place to return to.

Also White And Nerdy

Watching Joe Rogain and Muskrat trying to get his AI to make transphobic jokes and failing was hilarious.

I am not a parent but I think paternity leave is essential. Your wife is doing to need a lot of help and it’s just as important for you to bond with your baby as her.

I loved acting like a dog as a kid. We often played things like pokemon or lion king, etc. Soooo kids just can’t “play animals” anymore? Wtf.

I would say it’s best to focus on yourself and the things that make you happy. Not to say that you can’t go after romance, but sometimes people end up worrying too and get desperate or too down on themselves and that’s typically a turn off which will ultimately work against your goal.

Or knew someone who died. Or had to work customer service as an “essential worker” in a blue city in a red state where customers treated you like shit for enforcing the mask mandate. Or had a family member that got brainwashed by the president into thinking they were literally going to have to shoot you in the upcoming Civil War. Or you had to isolate from your friends and family because your partner had a pre-existing condition. Otherwise, pretty good times.

Covid days? No thanks.

I did eventually end up leaving my original library for one in a blue state. Library positions don’t pay a lot and the future of libraries is very much under attack. But you do it for the passion of literacy and helping the community however you can.

Great! I never got an MLIS, but I have a position as a fulltime Library Assistant and I’ve been worrying in the library world for 15 years now.

Orcas against yachts, raccoons against cybertrucks!

Cause fuck kids once they’re out of the womb.
