Hello I have returned from Ireland and work has calmed down a bit and I'm starting to feel like a functional human capable of using social media again, please enjoy this picture of the Giant's Causeway which is pretty much the coolest thing in the world

Rare is the perfect photograph, a photograph that is both literal and metaphor, a photograph that fills the void where a person should be.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

I have reached the level of busy at work where I am trying to have a nervous breakdown but there simply isn't room in my schedule to pencil one in. The only thing getting me through is the promise of Ireland in 2 weeks and seeing pals!

My favorite local indie bookstore is closing and it's had me in a mood all day

Happy Spooky Lakes Month to all who celebrate

It recently occurred to me that there are people who have listened to the @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social Karluk series and who haven't yet heard Bob Bartlett's voice. Whatever you thought he would sound like, I promise the reality is very different 😅 youtu.be/KAL_N8bGQCo?...

Canada celebrates The Rapture in October

Episode 157.4 - "We're Living Now, Aren't We?": HMCS Karluk Part IV ft. @jesslovesboats.bsky.social the saga kind of concludes here with Part IV but if we know anything about Stefansson we know that he's not done, not by a damn sight www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

This is such sad news 😔

Still so insane to me that people are actually tuning in to the Karluk series and enjoying listening to me yap? I'm having the best time and I'm beyond grateful to everyone who has checked it out! ❤️

Sourdough class was great but I am exhausted and coated in a thin layer of flour

ok time to reset the timeline 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 BIG BOAT STUCK 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Just got a set of donated self published books in the mail at work by a guy who claims to be divine and refers to himself as Walt Christ. So that's fun.

Join us on Wrangel Island for a hearty slice of dog pemmican and some eyeball cocaine, hope to see you there!

all these men deserve to be keelhauled. keelhauled all the way to the antipodes

Tomorrow I'm teaching an intro to sourdough baking class at the library, and as excited as I am about it, prepping for it is proving to be an absolutely stupid amount of work. Please remind me of this before I agree to teach it again 🙃

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Every year, millions of Americans are born without the Knowing When You’re Standing Right in the Fucking Middle of the Grocery Store Aisle gene. Incurable, unfortunately

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy OK, this is accurate

We have acquired a car and now I'm taking a nap

The pharmacies near me are doing same-day and next-day flu shot and COVID shot appointments! Sign up while you can! #NotThatKindOfDoctor but I highly recommend it. (CVS has a yes/no question for high risk of COVID complications. Follow your heart.)

This has been bothering me all day. The Terra Nova isn't famous for being Scott's shipwreck. It's famous for being Scott's ship. It was sunk deliberately after being holed by ice, 31 years after he died, on the other side of the planet.

For anyone having Terra Nova feelings today ...

Car shopping is an absolutely miserable experience from the pit of hell

It's not as good as a blank check from the Canadian government, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

It’s Labor Day weekend and that means it’s a great time to teach kids about the context of the holiday. I’ve compiled a list of books for a variety of age ranges that talk about labor and unions. Feel free to add more! #booksky #skybrariona #libraryunions #labor #unions

Playing one of my least favorite library games, Is This Patron Dead Or Have They Just Not Been In For A While?

At the very least it’s fun to think of this as a sort of tailgate party before the big event

you want more, don't you? You need more. You thirst for her, you hunger. She's all you think about. (Part 2 of Karluk out for patrons tonight! 😀)

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

It's here and safe for consumption, unlike Stef's pemmican! Check it out here or on your podcast app of choice!

Trapped in this chair and being forced against my will to watch the browns preseason game 😭

In recognition of James Dobson's all too delayed death, we republished an account of his legacy -- a three part series about evangelical child abuse, a culture Dobson disseminated and propagandized. buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Arctic shipmates hate this one weird trick

Actual work text I received from one of the closing staff earlier tonight: "Does finding a used panty liner in the library stacks require an incident report?" I have questions, and I also don't want to know the answers.

If you want to believe it, check it twice ::clap clap:: If you want to believe it, check it twice ::clap clap:: Doesn’t matter if it’s awful Doesn’t matter if it’s nice If it confirms your bias, check it twice! ::clap clap::

Since we recorded the first episode this morning, I guess it's safe to talk about now- I'm guesting on @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social for a series on the Karluk and a Patreon exclusive bonus episode on the Wrangel Island expedition. I am extremely excited and I can't wait for you to hear it!

People love it
