Extremely funny that the legacy of the Tron franchise is to get two beloved and mostly inactive bands to record again

What right-wing elites are trying to do to universities reveals their total disinterest in education as not just a public good but as a *practice*. To them, college isn’t for learning; it’s a credentialing service that offers ongoing opportunities to network with other wealthy elites.

I understand the words 'there is no ethical consumption under capitalism' but nobody told me that meant that if I watched Jake the Snake Roberts vs William Regal in 1992 there would be no Department of Education in 2025.

A group chat titled Vampire Town featuring a screenshot joking about hitting Dracula with a yank tank and me saying "Also, reminder that we're starting early tomorrow (8:30 MT, 7:30 PT, we fought a war for independence (that I admit I now regret 249 years later) so that I wouldn't have to do math for the rest of you)" because two of my players are in CA and two of them are in England.

I'm very funny in the strahd group chat

Everything (toasted) with plain cream cheese or Egg and Cheese on Everything (toasted). Plus black coffee either way.

He's such a dork I love him so much

A screenshot of text messages from "Dad." They read: Dad: Cards arrived today and will wait to open 🤓 Me: Great! (A little later) Dad: Landed in Newark 🤓 Me: Glad you're back, sorry you're in Newark

Something that's true about my dad is that he signs all of his texts with the smiling nerd emoji because it "looks like him" and I think that's the cutest shit. Love my dad.

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Top to bottom: 10/9 "Paris, Texas" 4 stars, 10/7 "The Killer" 4.5 stars and heart, 10/5 "The Red light Bandit" 4 stars, and 10/5 "War" 2 stars.

Did some backlogging and it messed up my cute little screenshot for my #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched post 😭. Anyway good week in movies

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

I've just had a lot of people at once screw me over on event planning and like... why is it so hard for people to:
a) answer emails
b) tell me the names of people who would be good speakers for me to email and coordinate with
c) read what I wrote instead of what they think I wrote

This Groundbreaking Artist Vanished. A Decade of Sleuthing Reveals Her Greatness.

New from me — on Mavis Pusey, her survey show open now at ICA Philadelphia (coming next to the Hammer in LA and Studio Museum in NYC) — and the decade of curatorial sleuthing to locate her artworks and fill out her story.

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

Kill your inner midwestern dad: it's ok to turn on the heat even if it's going to "warm back up in a couple days"!

I've just been freezing in my office today, and then I remembered I control the thermostat. I'm allowed to turn the heat on whenever I want!

Reminder from your resident high school lubrarian: if you plan to do a Banned Books Week display and programming, prioritize living marginalized authors. Use this time to help those who need it the most.

Ah yes for the map nerd or fan of pseudo archaeology with taste

I do well with Fashion Brand Company for business casual but weird enough to be interesting. I've done well with Universal Standard in the past for basics, but I feel like their quality has gone downhill. Vixen by Micheline Pitt also has some interesting things but I've never fit into their pants.

One of the few things that I think outlook is better about is marking a folder/label as read. I really wish I could right click on a Gmail label and mark everything in it as read

Once I'm your librarian I'm your librarian for life. That is both a promise and a threat.

This really sums up what’s happening right now in an easy to understand way. I can’t watch too much news these days, but this was helpful to bring it all together in a quick easy summation.

Occurred to me that I should not presume everyone knows the history of public library service in the US, especially the formerly-segregated US, and how white library leaders could have acted sooner and done more than they did. Further reading on that topic.

Logically i know my desire to clone myself into a linked distributed network of me's to handle the things I'm currently too burned out to do a) stems from a fear of letting go, & b) would likely result in either a burnout=n+1 situation or some kind of cataclysmic schism— but damn is it ever tempting

I really thought I was on the other side of being mistaken for a student, but in the last few weeks it's happened a *notable* amount, and also I've been told "oh you look a lot younger" when I said I was 30 so like... idk maybe moisturizing plus some mild adult acne is working out for me?
