So far on this trip we have eaten at places called: Grandma's, Grandpa's, and "My Mama's". We have plans this evening to go to "3 Sons"

Turns out feeling the sun on your face is way more effective than the bottled vitamin D I’ve been taking all winter.

Vacation is good.

There's nothing like watching a child slowly disassemble a complicated difficult jigsaw puzzle mid solve. *Deep breath* Libraries are for everyone. This is fine.

Rarely but sometimes he does decide to look out the window.

I have many things to do before I go on vacation. So today I organized my linen closet.

My book hot take: I know people love sprayed edges but when it's solid black they kinda just look mouldy to me 🤢

How can I get out of bed under these conditions

Do not ever correct me on here. I'm not wrong, and if I am then it's because it's fun for me

When all else fails - the cool S persists into the next generation.

So far today: - found that my winter boots had been under the wet shovel all night so they are soaked - spilled coffee in the car - misremembered my appointment time by 10 minutes in the wrong direction It's a very Monday Wednesday.

Me earlier this morning: why do my hands hurt? I did shovel but that's why my back hurts. Why my hands? Also me: oh I installed minecraft on the steam deck yesterday 🎮

Despite appearances, February is actually the longest month. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Nothing like a snow day On a day you don't have work anyway 😭

Today I cleaned out my medicine cabinet and remembered to walk the dog before it started snowing so I think I won being an adult?

Am I a bad librarian if patrons writing in books doesn't bother me? Today in a returned book --

If you come across someone who is anti dei, I think this is a great rebuttal.

Honestly the dream

Today I learned that I can customize the color of the little card icon in Libby and it was quite a revelation.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

I love libraries and archives and projects like this preserving culture and history. So cool!

So they have confirmed filming for Hadestown with the original cast and I'm not sorry for the person I will be when that proshot releases.

every example of how AI could be useful is like “if you were eating cereal, AI could tell you what cereal you were eating”

And we're still going! Honestly proud I've managed to do anything consistently this long. Am I winning ADHD yet?

a real phrase i put in a real cover letter today: "[...] (as perhaps can be illustrated by my help ticket history) [...]"

The utter disappointment of looking up an audiobook only to find it's an audible exclusive 🤢

I just want enough time in my life to read my TBR and play my game library and finish my craft projects. and not sit in paralyzed indecision about what to do with every moment of free time.

Oops I've watched too many Minecraft videos this week, the itch to play is growing stronger.

OK, I get being a responsible adult… but, every day? Every single day? That seems a bit excessive.

My most recent note to self: "Weed AF" (I want to weed the adult fiction section of the library)

Slowly transferring my FB messenger conversations to Signal. Successfully migrated to scrolling on Bluesky instead of the bad place. Making the internet the place I wanna be for a while.

Shoutout to my library, and all libraries. #booksky #readbannedbooks

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

FYI, you can attend library board meetings to voice that you do not actually want books to be banned *before* you come on here writing fanfiction about how you'll be the savior who buys banned books and gives them away to kids because, for SOME reason, the library doesn't have them

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize there wasn't a huge pink stain on my pants
