The Best Movies of 2025, According to John Waters All the brutalist sci-fi, cockeyed cunnilingus, and sequel horror you need to have seen this year.

I love the fact that John Waters's No. 2 movie of 2025 is Final Destination: Bloodlines.

Coworkers are nosy, wanted to know why I never eat pizza or food during the parties. Just told them I have allergies because pretty sure I'm not supposed to say "it gives me giant farts"

Also tell them how much of a security risk the SCREEN act is! Remember the discord data breach that exposed IDs this year

The tsunami of mandatory online age authentication laws will eventually reach every state, won't be restricted only to accessing online "pornography," and will expand to require mandatory identity authentication and other means to help governments surveil and control their citizens πŸ“‰πŸ“‰

Don’t forget if the Institute of Museum and Library Services doesn’t get funded next year, many public libraries won’t be able to fund ILL anymore because IMLS money helps pay postage/transportation costs. Write your legislators to support IMLS funding, please!

Hello friends,

Your librarian here with a tip.

If we don't have the book you want and we can't purchase it, use interlibrary loan, essentially borrowing the book from another library system. Your friendly local library staff can get you started on how to use it.

A couple weeks ago we got a lovely note from someone on the other side of the country thanking us profusely for ILLing a book to them. Curious, we looked up the book they borrowed.

It would have cost $1,200 for them to purchase it.

ILL is one of the things I love most about libraries.

AGAIN!!! Support your public libraries. LIKE ACTUAL POLITICAL SUPPORT. I do not want to hear "I looooovveee my public library" from people who don't actually pay attention to whether they are being adequately funded and sustained, lol...

Something we don't talk about enough is that Hillary Clinton, in addition to being evil, is stupid.

Caleb took $10,000 to drive a stranger’s car across the country.

His job? Create an alibi for the stranger, whose phone was in the glove compartment.

His warning? Don’t look in the trunk.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking β€œwow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The cover of I Was Better Last Night by Harvey Fierstein.

I just finished this audiobook. Harvey Fierstein's autobiography is a ride through his life, primarily his life as a playwright and stage actor. It's a good listen. He's very committed to his beliefs and I have to admire that.
