Fobazi’s article about vocational awe was one of the first things I read in my master’s program at UW, and it set the tone for the type of librarian I would become and in turn influence how I mentor the next generation of librarians. Please donate if you’re able. This field owes so much to her.

Angelenos: There's something you can do to help fire victims that doesn't require money (or flogging other people for money).

There's a program to relocate historical houses that are going to be demolished to Altadena. But we need to know where those houses are!

When TMS produced the animated adaptation of Magic Knight Rayearth (1994), the studio's parent company - Sega- asked AM3 to create the computer graphics for the opening sequence, which was later used in the Saturn game developed by Sega RPG Production.

I knew Superman was gonna be wholesome and good, I didn't think it would be 'make me cry with how heartwarming it was' good 🥹💕

There is nothing that gets my red flag meter going quite like men saying things like "it was hard meeting women because I was interested in (insert nerdy thing here)" when I have distinct memories of certain kinds of men in nerdy thing specifically and repeatedly excluding me from nerdy thing.

STILL no Hugh 😭😭😭

Oh no. I'm a KPOP expert 😅

Go support @bunnycartoon.bsky.social regardless because Secret Anime Club is fun and she's amazing, but now you can also hear me yap in the most unhinged manner about music I've been listening to since I was 14

Emergency Notifications

I don't live anywhere near the coastline, but even so, for all my LA county buddies & neighbors, we have many local alert systems as experienced back in January.

For LA city folks, it's NotifyLA. Check the list & make sure you got your notifications up

You know, like the voice from a sweet porcelain doll in ruffly garb seated in a corner 🙂

I just scared the heck out of student in the hallway because I was singing in my 'little doll' voice whilst by myself in the library elevator 😅

Yes, the library IS haunted, but by living librarians with weird vocal stims

There's something so magical about spotting your bestie on the other size of a 70,000 capacity stadium whilst you're both at a KPOP concert and you're just aggressively waving and sending heart arms to each other 🩷

Aw, c'mon. 🙃

I know I have a good therapist when we both looked at each other and just sighed deeply

a medieval-style digital art piece. In the center, there’s text reading “Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.” written in black gothic script, with a colorful blue, pink, and green dragon hanging upside down acting as the capital L. There is also a smaller red, blue, and yellow dragon as a filler at the end of the text. There’s a thin, blue and white border around the edges.

anyway, in the wise words of @prisonculture.bsky.social :

At a past book retail job, I wore contacts to work one day and I got stopped by two different coworkers thinking I was a customer and asked if they could help me find something. One had to fully look at my face for a minute before clocking it was me.

A TV paused on season 2, episode 16 of Wind Breaker anime where two young men are hugging post high school delinquent brawl battle. There is a close up of a hand holding an arm tightly.

So, Wind Breaker is just high school boys literally fighting their way to emotional maturity.

Love it.

Want to fight against book bans? Run for city council or library board. Show up to city council meetings and defend the freedom to read. Make yourself heard.

National politics starts local so start advocating at your local level.

Please know this is not a book banning case. This is a case about public education. That distinction does matter–doesn't make it easier to take, but this isn't carte blanche for book banning. It is more likely it allows for further opting out of public education based on 'religious' claims.
