They’re all doing house parties now. I bet this will go all night long.

My parents and one of our kids is going to come next year, and we are going to build…. something. I might just poach the idea of the life-sized Lego set from my husband’s department, but make it actual giant foam Legos kids can build things with.

They are still dropping off people by the van load. I am not exaggerating when I say I think there were easily 1,000 not counting parents by 7.

They were dropping the kids off by the van load. My neighbors have a bouncy castle. Every other house has some huge display, Jell-o shots for the parents… I am so happy to be in THAT neighborhood, and I vow to meet the challenge next year!

I… I was not prepared. Apparently I live in THAT neighborhood. I had 150 full candy bars and I ran out in 20 minutes.

But she’s such a cute lil candy corn!

A Tim Burton-themed department

Our Dia de los Muertos altar - this is taken quite seriously

This entire department is a life-sized Lego set!

This is one of the deans’ offices. The whole thing is a Bluey set. Kids can even take photos of themselves as Bluey characters!

A small sampling of the reason why we are not getting anything done today:

SNAP ends tomorrow.

If you are doing okay, the next time you go to the store, please buy two things:

Pedialyte
Infant Tylenol

Just toss ‘em in your cart. Then take them to your nearest food bank.

Those aren’t donated often but when a little one is sick, they’re worth a lot more than canned soup.

📚 I tried to contact someone, anyone, at Amazon Library Services. It did not go well.

I once showed "Thankskilling" totally blind to my friends one Thanksgiving, so I have no room to judge. I just went "ooh, a turkey horror movie" and hit play, and I have so many regrets.

Oh my god the dance number! It's so 70s. (I know it came out in 1980.) It's an excuse to show off Jamie Lee Curtis, and I'm definitely queer enough to appreciate it... but also, what?

Frog and Toad hide the cookies in a box. From "Cookies" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

I choose to believe it was Jezebel hiring the Etsy witches.

She dressed in leather pants to remind him of his couch. Like, girl, we see you.

📚 Have discovered an ancient OCLC category called "Unknown."

In the days of Napster, we could find everyone’s music collection and I discovered some amazing artists that way! I bought so much music during the Napster era.

Is this what happens when hair gel passes the blood-brain barrier

Being George Washington must have been frustrating. Every time he went to an inn, he’d wake up the next day and see a “George Washington slept here” plaque in the room. “Who keeps MAKING these?!” he’d rage.

A meme asking if John Lennon was stupid because he died at the John Lennon Murder Site, because why would you go to a site that was named after the fact that you were going to be murdered there.

Ulysses S. Grant passing by Grant’s Tomb: Hey what the fuck…

Summarize a famous work of literature as though you had the analytical skills of Elon Musk.

A Confederacy of Dunces: A man builds wealth by opening a hot dog cart without asking the government for assistance.

So far my experience with Amazon Library Services shows they have learned nothing from this experience.

A blue heeler enjoying ice cream on a patio.

This is the victim in happier days enjoying a Frosty Paws, which must be microwaved for 15 seconds prior to consumption. Beautiful, impeccably-bred blue heeler who utterly despises everything blue heelers stand for. His one breed trait is that he makes a lot of rules.

Thanks! I’m looking at SJSU’s site and I see the Gateway PhD thing from Manchester Metropolitan, and @africahands.bsky.social graduated from there (when it was from Queensland) which is a big plus. Good tuition price too.

Emporia State is online, and I could talk my way into Simmons being online.

📚 Online Information/Library Science PhD programs? I’m looking! Thinking @simmonsuniversity.bsky.social even though it’s not officially online, it looks like you can do everything remotely?

Relocating isn’t an option, as I do a lot of work with reservations.

I have no siblings and therefore no niblings. I am an aunt/auntie for hundreds of children.

I Got Tenure and Now I Can’t Seem to Form Simple Declarative Sentences When I received the email, I was holding a piece of toast. Dry, no butter. I remember this vividly because it was the last thing in my life with a ...

"Email has become a crucible. I can no longer say 'Attached is the draft.' I must instead write, 'Enclosed—though, of course, enclosure itself is a problematic modality—please locate a text-in-process, emergent rather than concluded.'”

His attorney has negotiated a settlement of ear scratches on a heated blanket, but I’m still required to allocute.

Long boopable snoot of a blue heeler. Also, a coward who hates the outdoors. DEFECTIVE DOG.

He had to be outside for a second longer than necessary this morning. He wants you all to know I am a MONSTER.
