Librarians don’t take a Hippocratic Oath.

But the vast majority of us deeply adhere – both personally and professionally – to the American Library Association’s Bill of Rights, adopted in 1939.

The ALA Bill of Rights is essentially our Hippocratic Oath.

It’s weird how they (choose to) forget.

I’ve been here almost three months, so I’m finally eligible to hear the workplace lore that explains why the fuck this place is like this.

I still have my Saturn and PS1, and you’re absolutely right.

Inquiring minds would like to fucking know.

this Wordle win is probably the most impressive thing I have ever done

NYT is absolutely complicit in getting this man reelected.

Searching for other librarians — is Facebook the only place where there are any real online communities for us? There has to be another way.

Censoring your kid’s face is the corniest shit. You posted the picture to show us you took the kid to the park.

You go through the effort of hiding their face *to show off* that you care about hiding their face.

Just don’t post the picture at all. We were fine not seeing you holding up an emoji.

How it feels not having a bottle of Dry Grape Schweppes in my hand right now.

wildly selfish, unserious, and spoiled rotten. The whole proud non-voter thing is sticking in my teeth like popcorn shells.

I always said I don’t have a dream job because I want to simply lie in the sunlight like a cat.

Now that the weather is nice, I have scheduled sit-in-the-backyard time at my new job.

close enough tbh

Leg day followed by forgetting yesterday was leg day and running up the stairs <<<

I feel like maybe the mayor isn’t in control of the working hours department

Like what? 👀

Shoutout to the 4 train and the 4 train ONLY for understanding the assignment during tonight’s evening commute.

I don’t get it. NOW you’re concerned about the rights of Latinos, political dissidents, and the economy?

The exam was in November, sweetie.

How?

gives me complicated feelings when I watch people chronicle every one of 47’s controversies when they spent the last half of 2024 telling people not to vote for Harris.

all else aside, thank god for the library though

The 94% and the 82% watching y’all say someone should do something and stop Trump.

Thank you to whoever stole it from me and brought it back to my apartment and so neatly slipped it into a pocket I never look in.

It was in my jacket pocket 😌

Everybody stop what you’re doing - I hereby announce that I have FOUND my lost phone charger.

Dusty is such a waste of being maybe attractive!

I’m going to have a Master’s degree in December.

I just keep thinking back to that Spring 2023 semester when I dropped one class and failed the other and thought there was no way I could complete it.

December still feels worlds away.

shhh, the Rs think they’re doing something

A small price to pay for greatness!

You have a dropped oxtail in your future, but just the little one. You’re gonna be okay.
