Every time I see this sign I read it in Gia Gunn voice

I love that Laura Dern and Isabella Rossellini are each other’s date to the Oscars 😍

@amyqin.bsky.social & @popkulturekills.bsky.social i appreciated your story on rising rents in chicago BUT need to push back on a claim which went un-fact-checked: www.wbez.org/interactive/... 1/

For my colleagues who are medical librarians, MLA has published a statement addressing the recent flurry of executive orders and other actions taken by the federal government: mailchi.mp/184b14bd09ff...

I don't know how you people in poly relationships do it. I have a hard enough time staying on top of one relationship!

No, we did not need a tropical house cover of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car. Burn it with fire

I love that EBSCO overhauled and rebuilt their entire search platform, but somehow couldn’t be bothered to implement the export functionality every other search platform has provided for decades.

I will never, ever forgive Biden for his role in the mess our country is now in, and I think people who make excuses for him are deluding themselves.

Hey medical librarians, MLA is now on Bluesky! @medlibassn.bsky.social

Impossible choice but this is the first that came to my mind

There are only a couple of days a year where we get good news from the Supreme Court. Today is one of them. Happy RIP TikTok Day to all who celebrate!

There's been an interesting stampede to the altar (or rather to the courthouse) this week among gays. Everyone seems to be citing "threats to queer people from the new administration." There are a lot of things I fear about the second Trump term but same-sex marriage isn't one of them. 1/2

I happen to be in one of those female-dominated professions (librarianship) where gay men outnumber straight ones. I’ve always half-joked that it’s like being a hairstylist with a master’s degree

DUO is officially my least favorite app. So annoying

The professor who always asks me to do library orientation for her class after I finish in 10 minutes because the students, of course, don’t have any questions

If I had as many followers as @georgetakei.bsky.social, i wouldn’t be sharing fake content

Don't go into debt. Move to Chicago instead!

Why I roll my eyes whenever I read a New York Times commenter claiming they have to drive into Manhattan because the subway is too dangerous: open.substack.com/pub/natesilv...

Awww guys the law firm that dropped me from the Marriott Data Breach class action Suit sent me a Christmas e-card🎄Great to hear from old friends this time of year 🥰

I love these pie charts @jvl.bsky.social created to depict the effect of the Internet on the information ecoystem. (As Last notes, these are made up numbers, but they're consistent with my personal experience.)

My mother in law Cathy Cade was a lesbian feminist photographer who documented social justice movements in the Bay Area. We are going through some prints for her obituary and I just found the most lesbian image I have ever seen.

Well clearly I’ve made it on bluesky, Charlize Theron is following me, I can die now

I’ve been binging Slow Horses, and I’ve realized I need a buddy flick with Selina Meyer and Diana Taverner
