An illustration of Paul Bunyan, the giant American mythic lumberjack, giving one ICE agent a wedgie, and punting another with a shoe. Another ICE agent has just slipped and eaten shit on the ground, without anyone’s help. The text reads PAUL BUNYAN SEZ FUCK ICE.

This entire thread is enlightening and massively interesting as it rolls into OpenAI.

Are the kitties helping?

The adult-kid is playing the guessing game with their workplace. 🤞 they don’t open and everyone gets a snow daaaaayyyyyyyyyyy.

Big snow! Big snow! Big snow!

The snow is happening. Small snowflakes, light and fluffy and spinning around. The snow plow finally came by. Everything is covered and I can’t wait to see how much we will get by the end of the day. It’s been doing an inch an hour so that’ll be a lot of inches if it keeps up at that rate. 👀

Read if you have the space to do so. Skip it if you do not.

I’m imagining the poorly drawn cat version lol.

….on a regular day?

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning and this isn’t even the first snow of the season! I checked the weather app when I woke up and it said it should start in 47 minutes!

Washington, DC: Paid Archives Processing Intern, NASA Headquarters

I think that was one of the recent changes they implemented. I remember seeing something about how postmarks would no longer have the date they received it initially but the date it got to the big processing center. Maybe they’re doing the same for packages?

Shout out to the South, from Texas and Mid-South to the Atlantic. May your power stay on, your layers be suitable, and your bodies stay warm.

My snow excitement dance has purely been for me, an adult from the South who wants big NJ snow big time.

Big snow, big snow!

A single clump? That’s wild. I regularly pull 5 eyelashes but they’re from all across the eye.

Purchased my squidfacts valentines finally. Can’t wait to send my pal an aggressively aquatic valentine.

2 - In December I did a couple of 3D prints for another (minor) patron. Today they 😭 brought in their own 3D prints from their Christmas 3D Printer 💖 to show them to me! And that was the sweetest thing ever. I gave them a high five, rest assured.

I knew exactly which encounter she was talking about because we also talked about Rebel Princess, another of my recent additions.

Today I had two absolutely excellent patron experiences in the library.
1 - A patron who told me I'd helped her adult daughter with games in our Library of Things and the games were excellent and my choices since taking it over were great. They played Abducktion and loved it (as they should).

Sometimes you folks make me think I missed something big on the news front. As a result I’ll start to stress and go check my RSS and every single time it is ok.

So maybe change how you consume news? It might improve your mental and physical health.

Some people are perfectly described that way tbf.

This middle-of-the-night in ear worms, I listened to some song around noon with the line “It makes me paranoid.” And that, friends, is literally all I’ve got.

I woke up with this intrusive gem. Hard to sleep or think around it. 🤷😫🤦

I've been saying to get rid of your ring for years, but SERIOUSLY. Get rid of your ring!!!

I can see you. You definitely don’t give Annoying.

It’s my fault, sorry. My weather game is real strong this season.

Jk! I have 12 library books in my house!
