They tear apart everything that is good. They will tear it all down unless we tear them down.

Shout out to the little girl singing the Macarena at the top of her lungs at the airport. You go!

Every year I'm endlessly entertained by parents on facebook discussing over the top dorm necessities. There's always a theme. Last year it was people obsessing over loft beds not having rails. This year it's emergency bags containing an entire CVS's worth of over the counter meds.

This is all so great.

What a terrible thing to do to a duck.

A tweet from user @delsalcott features a screenshot of a reporting interface. The interface asks, "What issue do you want to report about Gulf of America?" with the option "Name is wrong" selected. Other options include "Location on map is wrong" and "Something else." The tweet's caption reads, "About to be insufferable," implying the user is about to correct the incorrect name, as "Gulf of America" is not a real geographic term (likely referring to the Gulf of Mexico).

Please continue to report.

I get a lot of random requests for things in the library. But today a kid asked me for a ziploc bag because her four cups of pickles were leaking. Still not a clue where said pickles came from but at least they weren’t leaking anymore.

This is the most entertaining football game I’ve ever partially watched.

This shoulda been the Bills.

Me, glancing at the football score: “wow. 23 to nothing. That’s embarrassing.”

Post from '@quadcarl_carl' reads, "They're eating the checks. They're eating the balances"

I hear this in reggae.

Me: Why am I so sore? Also Me: -moved 6 bookcases' worth of manga at work today-

If I had kids I wouldn't either. Way too dangerous.

While I didn't order it, I have to admit this hell *is* exquisitely fresh.

Library administrator laid off; residents fight over LGBTQ+ books in Susquehanna County Hundreds of people protested the termination of the Susquehanna County Library’s administrator and demanded for the protection of LGBTQ+ books on Monday.

Susquehanna County Library’s administrator was fired for standing up to demands to remove LGBTQ+ books from the public library collection. This led to some board members walking out, putting the entire library at stake: www.wvia.org/news/local/2...

I don't blame him for wanting to be done. Football is brutal.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I like Travis. But I don’t like the Chiefs. How many super bowls do they need? I live in bills country so I gotta go with them. Would’ve been so great for them to be in the Super Bowl.

I don't even like football and I'm sick of the Chiefs.

Right?! I should appreciate her love stabs.

Yup. Zuckerberg is basically another Musk.

Why have I now had to unfollow trump TWICE on Facebook when I never followed him to begin with?!

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

It's 12 degrees in Buffalo.

Can they not move the game into the Capitol rotunda?

You are very welcome!

Yess!! Best thing you can do.

Glad I don't have to work tomorrow so I can watch the Eras Tour movie at the precise time of the inauguration. But at the same time it's an atrocity that this is happening on MLK day.

My cat does this too. Drives me insane. Her default setting is biscuit making, which the meaning behind it is incredibly sweet. But oh so painful. My words of choice are, "stop being stabby."

I spoke too soon. All it required was an update. Here ya go! archiveofourown.org/works/623533...
