Being a reader means constantly deciding between reading the books you already own or buying new ones you’ll also ignore

'Tis the season to walk around the house perpetually singing "Oh Cobwebs! Fuck off!" a la X-Ray Spex while frantically brushing yourself down. #ihatespiderseason

Today at the library, I found this heartbreaking snapshot of family life in a kids Christmas book. I think the last line reads, "Do you miss Dad?"

Stop scrolling, weary traveler, and rest for a moment

Oh no

me when you get your acoustic guitar out at a party I was up to that point enjoying

OXFORD!

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

My dream Sunday

I'm going to lower the tone now, and share this clip from Colbert's interview with Gary Oldman, who loses it completely when 'Jackson Lamb's noises are added to his other roles...

Now I don't want to cast aspersions about the zookeeping staff here, but I'm pretty sure someone's been messing with the tigers.

Celebrating St David's day today with Oxford Welsh Male voice choir at the University church. My grandmother would be proud. #dyddgwyldewisant

March the 1st be with you 😎

St David's Day Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Artist: H Woolley (1954)

Never a dull day in library services - today the old smelly man who left a poo on our stairs described, in detail, how he was going to stab his neighbour through the heart. And now I have to talk to the police.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theatre.

On Friday afternoon in the library, a gentleman pauses as he ascends the stairs from the reading room to the mezzanine, he gently shakes a little poo loose from his trouser leg, and goes on his way.

Now that's a nice cover. William Faulkner - Light in August, 1960 #booksky #faulkner

Also you gave us all your personal data when you signed up for a library card. We know where you live.

The Pool of Tears. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, illustrated by Margaret Tarrant (1916).

My week is still not improving. Thanks Peanut for the vomit. You shouldn't have.

Acting the trendsetter today, wearing my cardigan as a wraparound skirt while I wait for my jeans to dry after a bird shat on them. I am having a terrible week.

During the first year of the pandemic, I did #moraleboost threads. I had a unique upbringing and was “in charge of” morale, so to speak. Morale is so important, militaries have departments dedicated to it. They know you can’t fight if you’re exhausted and hopeless, so they work to prevent that. /1

PSA from Your Friendly Neighborhood Librarian: It’s ok to not finish books. Life is too short. 50 pages in. Half way in. Whatever. On to the next!

The ALT descriptions are sending me 😂🤣

My entire adult life has been a sequence of increasingly interesting times and I hate it

Yay. My first fake-sexy-ladybot follower. I was starting to feel a bit left out. /s

Don't know if it's just a January slump but I'm really struggling to find the book I want to read right now. I want to fall into a new world. I keep picking up different things and giving up after a page or two. None seems to be 'the one' but I know it's there, I just have to find it.

Truly one of the most amazing shrugs in literary history #tolkien

Okay let’s see how videos do on Bluesky. I’m curious, and also this is one of my favorite bookish videos to share. 😊 #booksky

The instant joy of recognition and nostalgia

Sometimes you use a pen that turns out to write way better than you thought it would and oh man that’s the good stuff

Mrs peanut is not so sure about the new addition to the house. #tuxedocat #lego

It's finished.

In case you need to be told, as it seems many people do, approaching a stranger at their work to tell them they look tired is rude and not appropriate. So fuck off with that shit.

Rolling this out once more

Everything is terrible. Have a picture of my chunky cat. She is asking me for more dinner but she is too fat and the Irish vet nurse scares me.

I understand this joke

Fact. Dunning-Kruger effect.

You annual reminder to BE POLITE TO PEOPLE IN CUSTOMER-FACING JOBS. You may be struggling to find Little Bobbi their Christmas present, but that really isn't the fault of the person behind the till. Thanks.

Currently reading I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.

I challenge anyone who asserts that The Princess Bride isn’t one of the greatest films ever made.

Currently reading. Happy now @garrettc.social ?

Could somebody have a word and save us all from 'The something of somebody someone' and 'The house of something and something else' book title's please. They're very difficult to find in the library. #booksky

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever
