Hey, so it's my birthday today--I am 50, officially entering my ✨ BABA YAGA ERA ✨ and so I'm doing a fundraiser over on the Zuckerbook for the Campaign for Southern Equality's Trans Youth Project, to help families harmed by bans on gender-affirming care w/direct financial & logistical aid.

Join me?

Yes! A friend suggested a libguide & i died internally but the point of keeping people informed* & educated is great.

*Keeping America Informed = motto of the Federal Depository Library System, a thing I hope still exists by my library’s 35 anniversary in May.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

I really want someone to do a rhetorical analysis of these.

also: Fuck You, Make Me is in fact one of the oldest american traditions out there

Thanks!

Ahem. Sorry. Hi! That sounds interesting! Do you mind sharing the title?

At least give us a title!

THIS IS ILLEGAL.

He literally does not have legal authority to do this. Do NOT obey in advance.

Just reading this helps, but don’t JUST read it, please, ok? Ok.

Thank you for doing it anyway. Good luck getting through the day.

This goes so fucking hard dude

This hits a lot differently in my late 40s than in my youth, especially with a teen daughter. Especially The Babysitter’s Here and You’re Aging Well.

I’m could listen to that tonight. Might even know where it is…..🤔

I believe the collective noun for librarians in general is a cardigan.

I’ll co-sign a pocket part of law librarians.

I like that just bc the construction freaks my kid out. 😂

I bought some floss & 14 ct Aida at Michael’s for pickup later today. We’ll see how it goes! Taking notes on all the suggestions here! 😌

One further question: I’m largely interested in stitching quotes. Is there a good source for fonts/alphabets?

Interesting! Thanks!

That makes so much sense. I’ll try that!

Thank you! It’s me 😊 and I’ve done a teeny bit (as a kid?) & want to start doing more

Throwing this out into the ether: I would like Aida cloth recommendations for a new cross stitcher (not working from a kit.) What kind of fabric count do I want? (Sources also welcome!)

If you know someone who may be undocumented, no you fucking don’t.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE

I like the fingerless mitts over gloves combo most days but it was too cold for that yesterday. 🥶

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax”

No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

If you cant afford art, or cant draw or whatever yourself, USE PUBLIC DOMAIN IMAGES

NOT AI.

Amazing timing. A dear friend is celebrating a milestone birthday today!

I just found a copy of Fellowship of the Ring (on ebay) that matches my set. (I loaned it out years ago & i hope it has had a good life.) when I looked for the publisher info I realized the set was a gift from a long-ago coworker & that makes me smile.
