I hadn't seen a photo of Gavin Newsom in a while and forgot how much be looks like when the Joker disguises himself as a regular guy so he can go through airport security

Most public libraries erase personal circulation data as soon as you return a book and this is exactly why. We can't give the government/law enforcement information we don't have. 🤷

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

This entire weekend

I hope I'm watching Knives Out movies until I die.

My first crush was Bert in Mary Poppins and honestly, I still think he's magic. Happy 100th to an honest to god treasure. ❤️

Please give me all the songs and albums that give you joy, hope, and/or optimism. The ones that always give you a lift. All genres welcome.

One of the best books of the year, you can trust me, I'm a librarian.

Setting aside that pencils is a weird ass example, as a former teacher, 37 pencils per child isn't enough. I don't know where they go but baby, they go!

Today a patron asked for help logging into ID.me, saying she wasn't sure how to answer a certain question. The question? Who was your first grade teacher? Ma'am. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I also do not know who your first grade teacher was.

This made me laugh out loud, I'm absolutely losing my mind.

Buffalo friends, the city library branches are looking for somewhere to have a holiday party for 40ish people. We want to do our own food, we just need a space. Does anyone know of a space, preferably in the city, we could rent out?

These kittens have Thanksgiving down pretty well considering it's their first time.

*YELLING* YEEEEEESSSSSSS IT COUNTS.

Lumpy with lots of skin as God intended.

My sweet girl. ❤️ 😭

You just hire a new guy and go. Literally no one cares that the last guy "died." Bond has been roughly the same age for 60 years. I'll write a Bond book for you.

Whatever happens after this, y’all, we must all agree to do whatever non-felony things we can to make Schumer miserable until he resigns.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Andy Pages unknowingly fucking up your gambling grift because he's bad at batting is the funniest shit I've ever seen BOSS I'M TRYING TO THROW BALLS BUT HE KEEPS SWINGING

you can see why fascism is so popular when the other option is The Loser Party That Loves Losing

Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

Let's say you're right and Minority Leader Schumer opposes the deal but simply can't control his caucus. Let's also say you have a second grade girl available for the job

Love a good Oxford comma example.

Yay for meeting longtime online friends in real life and yay for beautiful buildings and especially yay for beautiful libraries!

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." SAY. THAT. SHIT!

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Look at the Rust Belt go, woot!

It’s confirmed y’all. This is not gonna get national headlines but trust me when I tell you that this is huge here in CNY. And nobody saw it coming

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

Go, Virginia; thanks, NYC; get wrecked, @schumer.senate.gov

Any Western NY Gulf War vets, the VA is looking for participants in a study to identify underlying causes of service-related respiratory illness to develop treatments. If you qualify, it's definitely worth getting in touch with them.

Just fantastic. *chef's kiss*

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

I was already thinking about it, but my employer at the time made me. Jokes on them, therapy made me realize it was a little me but mostly them so I quit within the year.

On the off chance that they see this, thank you to whomever dropped all the groceries outside the Merriweather library near closing. We got everything (barely!) in our public fridge and freezer. We're a polling place so there'll be a lot of people through our doors tomorrow and we're all grateful. ❤️

I have to write a bio for our union election, and I think I'm going with "Perimenopausal and ready to burn it down."

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

and this is why I will never trust or support Newsom no matter what he does to push back on Trump if he becomes the Dem standard bearer, trans people will have no political party willing to stand up for their rights and that is simply unacceptable

I’m a big softie and I love shit like this, where baseball’s unparalleled history intersects and overlaps in a generational way bsky.app/profile/mfor...

I don't know if I believe in hell anymore, but for Mike Johnson, I almost do.

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

I’m seeing lots of talk about donating to food banks. I’m all in favor—give what you can—but if you can possibly give cash, it’ll do a lot more. 🧵

Response to Love also helps stock the pantry/fridge at some of the city libraries including ours at Merriweather which is already seeing a big uptick in usage. responsetolovecenter.com/support/

😂😭 What a world.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

There was literally a crowd of people hovering as our pantry and fridge were filled tonight, definitely an uptick. Please give to a local food bank if you can.
