No but you’re exactly right and I appreciate you pointing that out. It was inappropriate of me to assume their faith simply due to where they’re from. I will endeavor to do better going forward. Thanks so much for your feedback! 💖

Had to think for a second but the guys in the video. In a *very* roundabout way I was joking that, because they’re New Englanders, they’re descendants of Puritans (because Puritans founded what became MA). It’s (1) presumptive and (2) a reach, I know.

Shit is so cash, you don’t even know.

This. It hurts so much in my state knowing I can scream and scream and scream til I’m blue in the face and all I’ll get is marketing emails from these jagoffs.

A Timeline and Update on the Institute for Museum and Library Services We are a little over two months into the dismantling of the only federal agency dedicated to libraries, and the news has been coming at a pace no one could...

This is fairly accurate and extremely informative update...... buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

You just reminded me I have to shave my legs

I am still trying to track down the Faygo Red Pop I found because *no I am not hallucinating, I know what I saw*

I still laugh my ass off every time I see this. Somewhere I have a photo of you looking at the camera like Jim on “The Office”

FAQ: Executive Order Targeting IMLS This set of frequently asked questions is intended to help library workers, library advocates, and library users understand this Executive Order.

"Library funding draws less than 0.003% of the annual federal budget yet has enormous impact in communities" @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social has a good FAQ about what is happening with/to IMLS; helpful as we decide what to say to our reps, what to put on our signs.

“Libraries translate .003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 BILLION people each year.”

BRUUUUUUHHHHH

JUST FINISHED LOWER DECKS

OMGGGGGGG 😱😱😱😱

To wit, one of my coworkers had a sign saying “You can lead someone to knowledge but you can’t make them think” in their cubicle and I think about that a lot.

Speaking as a librarian: this is sadly very true. People want someone else to do the work for them. They do not want to learn a skill themselves. If I had a nickel for everyone who shoves their phones in my face expecting me to do their work, I could retire.

I’m actually doing a program centered around this thought next month. This is a really great point and I may use this (with citation).

I love you, even if I don't quite understand you or what you're going through.

You’re unique. You’re special. Remember that. Just shine.

You are correct! I only remember the ears and how much you haaaaaated the sun lol

Also someone in Florida has “IN0RITE” but I could choose “IN0R1TE” if I wanted lmfao

IIRC you also had Mickey ears.

This was also where we came up with “IKNORITE”, coincidentally a story I remembered the other day while driving to Publix 😂

Also this is when I met my BFF in person, @becklo.com, for the first time and my crazy didn’t scare her off (she actually was a huge moderating voice on me) so that’s a huge plus.

My grandfather is from Driffield so I do have a relatively direct link! We would LOVE to visit someday!

Yaaaaasss! Need to watch it again, my friend!

Real talk: I was off my meds through college and a little after and I’m *still* surprised I made it out alive & in one piece. I lost *a lot* of friends and incredible opportunities, and I wouldn’t be where I am and doing what I do without meds today. I’m extremely lucky.

Two of my favorite people!

EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.

SUUUUUCH A GOOD MOVIE!! And I love the song!

me, driving in my car, using Apple Maps, listening to Spotify, making phone calls: omg did I leave my phone at home

I do too, I was just saying I *thought* they’d be bad. These have been the best years of my life so far.

Trump fires National Archives chief The president has dismissed the top U.S. archivist after fuming about the agency’s role in the criminal classified-documents case against him.

Here it comes: what is a trusted repository in the age of fascism?

I’m of the same mind, the only thing that upset me is menopause. I worked it out with my therapist that I was more upset I was losing the choice and I had no say in it. But now I’m having them removed so it’s a moot issue lmao
