Oh shit, I just saw why this was posted today. 💔 Thanks for being a mensch.

Sitting in a McDonald’s for a few & a group of middle school age boys are singing along to “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.” Very happy to report that the kids are all right.

Megan is in an incredibly shitty (pun intended) situation; let's help her move!

This has become a huge issue for us just in the past week. #Libraries #DigitalCollections scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/07/g...

I am limiting my reading these days to what gives life, and boy, does this ever give life! Thank you, @jfkantrowitz.bsky.social! The Lovers Seize the Means of Production www.jessicakantrowitz.com/the-lovers-s...

Our current economic system posits that we are all separate from each other and the earth. Treating that illusion as true has led to our current crises. Could seeing the sacred in everything be part of finding our way to systems that work for all life? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr-5...

This whole thread -

Environments, my nemesis!

Please give this a few moments of your time today.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Today's workday was one where just showing up for other people was way more important than actual doing work. We're all each other's chaplains. Life is an extended mutual chaplaincy.

This is straight out of my travels in Wales.

In "Trending." Of course I read this as "Nigel Fart."

Just remembered the time my spouse said, "There should be a term for people who are queer and have a very close platonic relationship based on that queerness," and I got to tell him. Happy Pride, fam. I love us so much! 🌈

My former congregants thought I was so chill that when I talked about my struggles anxiety they were shocked. I was like, I can do chill when it's my JOB and only then.

It's June, which means it's time for my birthday fundraiser for our local animal shelter! 🎁 Will you consider donating if you can? No amount is too small! 🥳 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

I can't stop wondering what that Princeton professor's colleagues, students, and dean think of him publishing that piece about how AI has made his teaching obsolete. I know it makes me - a part-time library worker in an Ivy League institution - want to spit fire.

Please sign, friends!

Anyway, one way that we live in a post-information participatory make-believe age of enchantment is that the global economy is increasingly hinged on the most expensive and resource consuming technology ever invented to simulate tarot decks and imaginary girlfriends.

OK, friends! The Cache Pride Center in Utah supports LGBTQ+ youth ages 11 - 18, connecting kids with housing, food, and other material needs as well as community, mental health care, and other forms of emotional support. It's a small outfit and they're currently raising money with a craft auction!

I like this approach, it makes me and everyone around me much happier!

I just want them to be heavily regulated. 😭

I got a truly awful night's sleep, but that's not going to stop me from helping the shit out of some patrons today, or being patient and helpful with my colleagues and student worker. And then hopefully edit my index when I get home. And make something yummy for dinner. 😊

$827 to go! www.gofundme.com/f/help-devon...

My friend, Devon, is on her way to Turkey today for life-saving surgery, and she's so close to being fully funded. Can we close the gap so she can recover without financial stress, and with everything she needs to be safe and comfortable? Just $993 to go. gofund.me/4b19a421c

Every time I see someone on here dismissing the challenges of rural life in North America (or blaming folks who are suffering because they're rural), I think: we are the canaries in the coal mine that is authoritarianism and for-profit government in a time of global warming. 1/2

Incredible planet.

Let's get this kidney out!!

I think it's time to make another chopped parsley and caramelized onion custard.

Touching grass is not enough I need to share a sunny log with five or six turtles

Scott Bessent looks like his own SNL parody.

Nothing is settled and anyone who tells you otherwise is either (a) trying to influence the outcome of the flux or (b) defending themselves agains the uncomfortable feeling of uncertainty or (c) both at once.

When I lift my arms under an open sky, I am not trying to outrun sadness. I am giving it space to breathe.

TFW you pick up a book from the stacks and open it randomly to 19th century Chinese porn. Library work is NSFW.

Brilliant essay, with relevance outside of libraries. www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2025/circles/

Making butter tofu and it smells so good I just exclaimed “Oh my God!” to an empty house.

No, Uncle M., the computer STILL can't index a book for me. Yes, I'm sure.

The nonbinary god cracks me up. They honestly think that their ultimate power and creator of all life is 100% man

Humanity continues to save me, even as some humans drive me to despair - human generosity, humor, compassion, nerdiness, everything that is authentically and beautifully human.

Let's get Aleksei the money to (safely) finish his dissertation!

Boosting for Aleksei because my friend has been through so much and really needs this laptop. Let's make it happen.

The crossed keys as bullet points! Talk about attention to detail!

It feels *so good* to be able to breathe without coughing. I didn't even use my rescue inhaler this morning!
