Called it!

Going through some things I had packed away and found my dress from junior prom! 2001. I’m going to ask my oldest daughter if she would like to wear it to her prom 🖤🖤🖤

Happy Held Hostage By Congress Day to all who celebrate

Literally me at work tonight 😂

“I told the priest Don't count on any second coming, God got his ass kicked The first time he came down here slummin. He had the balls to come The gall to die and then forgive us No, I don't wonder why. I wonder what he thought it would get us” Concrete Blonde is a forever mood

LOLLLL Forest Ink clothing tried to use their club style designs to ask “would you wear this to your corporate job?” And they got a resounding no from the grown ups 😂. It was open shoulder, splits on the sides, and stompy boots. But they added glasses so it’s totally appropriate 😂💀

I unfollowed all the goth brands I was following. They all just feel insulting now. Extremely high prices for mostly polyester, crappy return policies, and outrageous shipping costs. It’s not fun to even window shop anymore

A common thing I get at the desk is parents frustrated that their kids can’t listen to as many audiobooks anymore. There’s one possible solution: check to see if your library offers playaways. These are audiobooks on little battery powered players that you just need wired headphones for

I understand why people are upset about libraries being unable to offer hoopla anymore but right now we’re all having to make tough decisions due to lack of funding. Blame the feds and blame the high licensing fees of audiobooks. Not your local library.

Down a rabbit hole (heh) of cave divers getting stuck and uhhhh don’t put me down for that

Me in 2018. I’m approximately this size again. I should dig this dress out of storage and see if it still fits

When I was 14 years old, my parents were saying the Backstreet Boys were too sexual and that they didn’t like Hanson’s long hair. Tonight, my 14 year old daughter has Creep by Radiohead as her song on instagram. Checkmate

“You seem happier” “Thanks! I got to watch an entire Chiefs game without hearing Jawaan Taylor’s name.”

Also I swear they LIE about their sizing. It’ll say “lots of stretch” and have zero stretch or the measurements will be off my several inches.

They want 70 dollars for this. Seventy. Dollars.

Just deleted a quote post from a resistance lib, please clap

So my jaw just hit the floor

Quoth the Raven, “Eat my shorts”

Whaaat happened in Dallas last night

Why you should be reading Maeve Fly

Oh great. Collinsworth’s favorite word is dominant tonight

Death, taxes, and Pete Carroll choking at the end of a game

I like the Ravens. I root for them a lot. But damn

Never seen so many players running into their own dudes before lol

I’m on page 5 and this RULES lol

Uncommon Hurricane prep tip: wash your dishes and finish your laundry before it hits and you lose power and water. It’s not gonna save your life but you’ll appreciate having clean clothes and dishes for comfort purposes

Something about losing weight makes me want to do chores to those trashy Nickelback stripper songs that I definitely do not secretly love

Morning

A belated COCKS

Perhaps more accurate

So uh. 10 months.

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday

Tis the season. Pictures of the Battery during hurricanes always stir something in me

Once upon a weekend dreary While I prepped, weak and weary

Ok so apparently it’s just Imelda we have to worry about. But she’s a big problem by herself and it’s already raining here. Still bracing

Ok I’m going to bed. Shopping early tomorrow.

Wailing, gnashing of teeth, et cetera et cetera

Us last week: hey let’s go up to Hendersonville next weekend and get some apples Mother Nature today: HAHAHAHA no. Have a hurricane. Matter of fact, take 2 hurricanes

When you live in SC and a meteorologist uses the phrase “almost the same trajectory as Helene last year”

I worked 8:15 to 5:15. I shelved. I sorted. I answered the phone. I worked the circulation desk. My back hurts. It’s shot day. And now I’m home, sitting on my heating pad, brewing a cup of Edgar Allan Poe inspired tea in my library at home while it rains.

Book 30 of 2025! I absolutely loved this one. It's intense and fast-paced and I really cared about most of the characters. Themes of Catholicism, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and religious guilt during a massive, apocalyptic pandemic. Trigger warnings for animal death.

In the shower this morning, I felt this weird hard place/growth on the side of my face. Right behind my ear. And I kept rubbing it like “wtf.” Friends, it was my jawline. I haven’t had a firm jawline in so long I forgot what it feels like 😂

When the dog dies in the book for absolutely no reason I want to find the author and smack them

When a goth clothing company says “completely sheer and unlined so you can style it however you want!” All I hear is “we needed something cheap to do with this fabric”

The circulation room on a quiet day lol

There’s another goth girl who works in reference downstairs and this woman said “She’s the first one I had to get used to.” I’m like…I’m not concerned about an octogenarian getting used to me but please continue to believe your snobbery and entitlement makes you an interesting person

Old lady just came into the library and told me “I like your tattoos and your bat.” I said “Thank you ma’am.” She goes “You’re not demonic are you?” 😂 Then she asked for my name so I’m pretty sure I’m on a prayer list now

When someone has a specific job to do and keeps trying to push the boundaries of their lane to weasel into mine, I get irrationally angry. If you didn’t want to do your job, you shouldn’t have applied for it. If you wanted *my* job, well they hired me. Not you.

Noah Kahan’s Homesick perfectly captures what it’s like to love the small town you grew up in even though it’s a hell hole

Saw comments on a TikTok from some women who said when they have trouble with something at work they say “Sorry I’m just a girl.” Ugh. Couldn’t be me. I graduated summa cum laude and ain’t nobody gonna make me dumb myself down to get some help
