Sensory overload but it's my hair.

A young person just told me I looked cool. Putting it on my CV.

Periodic grumble about how much I dislike that Libraries Week became Green LIbraries Week.

I've been subscribed to the Perimenopause 'a period every 14 days' package against my will

It's quite fun watching this counter go ever higher. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Sure perimenopause is great if you like crying at squirrels and things you forgot to add to the supermarket shop.

Brit card comes with a choice of two IDs - Damon Albarn or Jarvis Cocker.

Does anyone need a librarian? I think I'm done where I am now.

For the sake of my own sanity I am not attending The Grand Opening of the bulding the new library is in.

Treated us to wireless barcode readers. Like living in the future.

Walking to the bus stop with Alex this morning, a lady we don't know stopped and asked if he was my son. She told me he always smiles at her every morning and that he was a lovely lad. PROUD MUM FACE.

This is NOT just america. This is happening here. Local coverage of it, if you can bear the pop up ads.... www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/2548259... #UKKidlit #Edusky

New building might be open today. New library might be open and need staffing today. We have been told nothing.

I've had the Sunday sads since I woke up this morning. My brain hasn't switched off from work once since I left on Friday.

Trans people are not a threat to women’s safety. Over 52,000 women have signed the open letter to say not in our name. Will you join them? notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Hooray the weekend. Chance to ruminate endlessly on how angry I am both with work and my daughter's school! From 6.14am! Hashtag blessed.

Like yesterday, only somehow even shittier.

Still. Got my nails did and they are the perfect shade of autumn green, so there's that.

Remember when I 'lost' three members of my team? And then had an extra library to run? Now the powers that be have asked us to provide weekend and evening service.

Caught up with Sewing Bee *and* finished my jigsaw.

"Are you alright Miss? You look tired" Things you don't need to hear from students, part one.

Does anyone have experience of a child with hyperacusis in secondary school? Especially if overlaps with Dyspraxia and possible ASD?

Lads! It's the fancy train! Cc @woodsiegirl.bsky.social

Alex's music homework is to get a special folder to keep homework in. Only that seems more like a job for the parents.

I'm so glad this cold I've had all week has taken full advantage of the weekend to make iself fully at home in my sinuses.

Just catching up with Seeing Bee. I'm not happy about that decision.

How busy has today been? I haven't had time for a cup of tea all day.

We can start unpacking in the new library this afternoon. I can't help because I have died of shock.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

Just had to deal with two enquiries on two seperate floors of the library at the same time because I am the only member of staff over lunchtime. I am so fed up of this.

Wake up every morning trying to be less full of rage, but the world still has other people in it, and they keep talking to me.

Just learning via @gregjenner.bsky.social and You're Dead to Me that Hannibal of Carthage fame was a Barker. Where's my family elephant?!

Just went in to the office to get my headphones and made a cup of tea instead.

A massive happy publication day to @manylittlewords.bsky.social and her @titanbooks.bsky.social anthology ROOTS OF MY FEARS. Out today and available in all good bookstores!

Just did the equivalent of 'apologies for cross posting' on w class What's App group and I am enjoying the carnage.

it's real support from actual racists

£185 for a ONE night residential with Dora's school. One hundred and eighty five pounds. For one night. This outward bounds centre has better be made of real gold.

I'm happy to share this advert for a permanent part-time role in the library of @royalastrosoc.bsky.social share.google/K1v6wLMnhxQp...

I am so full of irrational perimenopausal hatred that I could probably fuel the country with my rage.

Second day of term, first water bottle lost.

You should all go and see The Conjuring Last Rites because my daughter's friend/my friend's daughter is in at and we're all super proud of her. She's the one in the trailer from the scene with the spooky doll.

The new bookshelves have gone in to the new library and OMG there has been some terrible measuring because it looks like a bookcase showroom and is laughably bad. Time for more weeding so I can send some back!

Every year my New Year's Resolution is to learn this song by heart. There's a reason it's every year.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Library Assistant in the Metadata Team at @lselibrary.bsky.social. Join us to create & manage metadata for Library collections & LSE research outputs, support discoverability, & engage in emerging work such as Wikidata projects. jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/I/...

Antony Cat's blood tests show broken kidneys. Any advice for dealing with an old man and his renal failures?

I wrote about the joy and pain of visiting a very crap branch of high street staple Boots.

First request for books that are still in crates because the building hasn't been handed over and the bookcases haven't arrived klaxon!

Keir fucking Starmer can fucking fuck off.
