Library cryptid disguised as a Director. historian, textile artist, craft dabbler. Go read a book - you really need to do so. Read a lot of books - learn something outside of your confirmation bias. The crows demand it. And go outside.

Microscale world - the winter firewood has been delivered and is stacked. Had to run in and grab my brace, since my wrist I broke a few years ago was screaming at me. But three of us got it done.

Time for pain cream and ibuprofen before a run to town. Maybe a run to town.

Farm life exercise.

Tonight's spammer trying to extract money from me for "marketing services" calls themselves "Janet Storypitch," and, as the kids said in 2016, I can't even with this right now

This made me, A. Librarian, laugh out loud in real time.

gah. That's even worse, IMO.

And a waste of a totally good book.

Nothing to be sorry about - now I just need to go out and buy that mini Stihl chainsaw that keeps popping up in my FB feed and put it in the "basement" of the library doll house - lol

We're getting stupider and stupider, more and more petty.

So how much more will it cost to go back to Times New Roman? More than $145K?

A small bright pink elephant with spiral antennas and turquoise blue butterfly wings for ears. It is standing on a white windowsill in bright light, next to dried flowers and a white candle.

For Day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar, a small butterfly elephant from last year! Paper mache, glass eyes, metal wire, painted with acrylics using a sand effect medium for a textured surface.

Still a better bookmark that a slice of American cheese.

Dammit, my husband just Rule 34ed this. Not that he made up the porn, just mentioned that it probably exists.

So if I allow min horses into MY library, does that mean I have to eventually allow for a chainsaw?

OH hi - it's me again. Yes, as a librarian, I am making under $13 an hour. I know I am an exception, I know it's because of where I live and work, and that I've been an historical interpreter in the past, but I'd like to not do it this way.

Wait - we're supposed to have rest days?

I have been adulting wrong - I usually only take rest days when mu CFS forces me to.

There is such a thing as training the horse to "ground tether" in which the reins are purposefully allowed to dangle and touch the ground, and are easily scooped up by an experienced rider, even on an unfamiliar horse.

I might not have used the right term, but I've seen it done.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

At work, it's only me and my patrons.

It freaks some people out because they think I type really fast ( I don't) but they get no say over my clackety clackety!

I know how mayo is made - eggs, oil, vinegar. Beat the crap out of it.

I can make it, but I won't. Why? I don't like mayo.

I like fake mayo - specifically, Miracle Whip, and then it only belongs in certain things, and never on my sandwich except for BLTs.

And I will send things back forever.

They clickety clickety goes all the way back to typewriters, cause us old folks need the sound of typing, I guess.

And as I say this, I realize my computer keyboard does NOT make those sounds, and it's the first one I've ever had that does not. My work one does though.

You also know I'm not stupid (I'm not met a person on this forum who is), that I do understand how the system works, and there is no need to talk down to people, even if you think they're not informed? And that you are not fully correct?

What you didn't know - I used to teach this stuff.

Why do you think this is the standard everywhere? It isn't.

Are you now doing the same you accuse the Republicans of doing propaganda wise?
