Just because it's on a meme doesn't make it true. -famous librarian saying.

Still wondering why that dude walked into the house party across the street carrying an inflatable doll under his arm.

You should never feel guilty for talking about books. The world is on fire, but we still need to educate and enrich ourselves. Books can make you a better person. Books are the answer. #BookSky

The US continues to prove it doesn't value other countries' lives and barely values US lives.

Sometimes, I wonder if the random people who I don't know and who show up in my dreams are the spirits of the dead out and about for a visit with the living.

There are two World Book Days. Today and April 23, 2026. Am I complaining? Why, no, I'm not. Every day should be #WorldBookDay

Much of AI is basically an incompetent employee for which you have to double check their work, and it would've taken less time to do it yourself.

It's about time to decide which tomato plants will live and which will be snipped. #VegetableGardening

Sister called complaining she couldn't get into her Medicare account without uploading a photo of her DL or passport. I tried and discovered I needed to use login dot gov with the password I use for SS and also must upload a photo even though SS lets me login without it and what the fuck.

I'm of the opinion that high end duct tape can fix just about anything. The kind that's shiny silver and has a peel off backing.

"Right to work" is an oxymoron. My dad was a union man.

I booked my flight for California so I'd have something to look forward to.

FYI, this book is available for free from Project Gutenberg. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/71865

When I was a working librarian, I was part of the nice cool kids crowd, meaning we mentored and supported other library colleagues, especially those new to the profession. My contention is, if you're mean, you're not a cool kid.

Just like all computer programs have bugs, all books have typos.

I used to work in a library that had a sub-basement that was considered a nuclear fallout shelter. I still remember the signage. Always felt ominous when I walked by it.

a man tried to condescend to me today and it simply did not compute. it was like an alien was trying to talk to me

I'm seeing a lot of posts about reading comprehension. Do we need a minimum SAT score to post and reply?

I'd about given up on my bell peppers and was going to re-seed but I see two little sprouts popping up so I'm going to give it a day or two for the rest. #VegetableGardening

Like how far rock bottom does the USA have to hit before we can claw our way back up?

Things I've never done and will likely never do: Get a tattoo Drive or ride in a Tesla Get married Watch the movie Titanic

I would like more high quality TV series in which only bad people die and the good people have a happy ending.

It's not a distraction it's a clusterfuck.

Look at those rosy cheeks. Even God is embarrassed.

How humans fuck up the world example number gazillion and one.

If people listened to women, really listened, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I get a free gym membership with my Medicare supplement. I'm gonna be a bruiser.

I used to wonder how colleagues knocked out committee assignments so fast and then found out they were copying and pasting stuff they found on the internet. I bet they're now using AI. It's all plagiarism.

I would rather eat vegetables than liver.

Even after retirement, when every day is a "weekend" day, it feels good when the real weekend comes round because it's the weekend for everyone, unless maybe you work weekends.

If you deny yourself happiness in life because of the awful people we talk and read about daily, then you're letting them control your life. You can find joy and be politically engaged at the same time. All doom and gloom will do nothing but make you miserable and not affect them at all.

Sometimes, I say to myself I wish I was an author, but then I remind myself that I have a published book chapter and multiple articles in the library literature.

Question for #BannedBookSkyClub Wuthering Heights, yay or nay?

I'm sorting through paperwork to see what I need to save, and I have to tell you that life is too complicated.

I don't watch hockey, but if I did, it would be women's hockey.

I haven't read Wuthering Heights, and I'm not going to go see the movie. I read the novel's plot synopsis in Wikipedia and it looks like it's about a bunch of really fucked up people.

Breaking: eggplants are sprouting. #VegetableGardening

What struck me immediately was the building of new communities in both. The desire to lead and build a community from scratch rather than be under someone else's rules. I hadn't thought much about it previously, but these 2 novels opened my eyes.

I've seen diagrams posted on here for a new ICE detention facility in a small town in Georgia. This update from that city is an interesting read: www.socialcirclega.gov/Home/Compone...
