Dissociation Station

We get it. You read Harry Potter as a kid and now you’re a horny mom with word processing software and unfulfilled fantasies. Just because you CAN write a dark academy enemies-to-lovers romantasy doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

But, I mean, if you do write one, why bother proofreading or editing it?

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

It’s those with the sense of entitlement required to decide they don’t need to follow the rules, combined with those who can’t be bothered to learn them. ‘What? No left turn? Clearly that doesn’t mean me. I’ll just stop here and let my kids off directly into the street in front of oncoming traffic’

I just got trolled by Siri.

My youngest spawn: Hey Siri, play Christmas music!

[insert Siri cueing up some bland random Christmas music station]

Me: Hey Siri, play *better* Christmas Music.

[insert the opening strains of Mariah Carey’s magnum opus]

What happens when my plague rat children cough in my face and constantly steal sips of my water bottle when they are sick?

It’s 5pm on Sunday and I just now remembered I have Monday off from work.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

Current Teams discussion among youth services folx in the library system I work for: how often we all check under the bins for the picture books with LGBTQIA++ themes that have been hidden by patrons. People that hadn’t thought to look were shook once they checked under the bins in their branches.

Nooooooooooo. I cannot think of a single regular patron in my near decade of work in the dark art of library science that I would ever want to see naked.

Several that very much wanted to be seen naked though…

So many adults disappear from the library when their kids age out of storytime. More library nights!

I am 100% your demographic judging solely from your reference to PUTV. Talk hard!

Hey there, come here often?

Posting this here because I keep re-looking it up and laughsobbing every time I get a breaking news alert….
