hey look it's another site that's exactly the thing everyone keeps saying they want!

Every once in a while another thing happens that makes me notice the stark difference between working for a place that makes money versus working at a community library.

I think I've joked too many times about locking the doors when you leave so axe murderers don't get in, now house sounds when I'm alone are scary... Welp, as long as they leave my cat alone. 🤷

I got to see this exhibition today when I went to the Whitney on a whim and it was delightful! I hadn't seen any of these in ages and it I'm so happy to have stumbled upon it! If you're in New York for a visit over the holidays you should go see it! whitney.org/exhibitions/...

I have truly free time now for the first time in months and now I can't even decide what to do. Like, I can't get started. Huh. What do I like to do? Haha!

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Paper two finished! Thank the gods! Now all that is left is to make an About page, page explaining the technology I used, and some images for my website.

Paper one done and submitted! And with 13 minutes left from my desired submission time. Okay, Knowledge Organization paper next, and then work on as much of my website as I can!

I've stapled myself to my desk, it's time to bang out the last of my work by 11:59. Wish me luck.

I completely forgot the strat of working on a different project when you're stuck on another, so I just wasted like a whole day of staring at a messy document unable to make myself type instead of just working on my website or the paper that is 80% finished.

Dude, I just can't right now with school work. I think I'm so overwhelmed that my brain is rejecting everything. Unfortunately it is finals week so my brain needs to suck it up.

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised when my bullshitting is actually good but I always am. Like, I put less effort into a presentation than I rightfully should have, but things I just kind of flung in to fill space were commented on positively. I hadn't even consciously added it for effect,

*kicks down the door like Big Bird in that one gif* VISIT YOUR LIBRARY WE'VE GOT DVDS WE'VE GOT CDS WE'VE GOT BOOKS ON CD WE'VE GOT THAT TONIES THING FOR YOUR KID YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS AT WORK

I never stopped masking and in all these years I've had a total of one person ask me about it. Take your health and the health of vulnerable people seriously. The annoyance of a mask on your face for a few hours is way better than the down time and recovery from a respiratory infection.

Goodness gracious! I was on welcome desk today and some lady was getting really rude to me and raising her voice. She was looking for someone who either didn't work here or has no extension number.

Meeting happened AND it was a person with knowledge of the subject! Luckily he didn't have to run off after 30 minutes when my meeting was scheduled to end. I should have a second meeting booked with the same tutor next week, but I'm double checking to secure my spot.

Man, I wish the writing center tutors showed up to remote meetings even a little on time. Dude's 15 minutes late at this point.

I fumbled my presentation last night so bad! I am awful at them and I just rambled, awkwardly worded things, and dropped an entire talking point that was literally written in front of my face. Ultimately it doesn't matter because the grade was either a 0 if you presented something or a 5 if you did.

Adulthood is when you're devastated that the beautiful carafe that was incredibly on sale is sold out when you open the item's page.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

I had a classmate pull a kind of rude move on me the other day and legitimately my first thought was "That's not very Chuck Tingle of her." In my mind, supporting your fellow student is Chuck Tingle behavior and I've apparently internalized that enough that it's my immediate thought.

Since we're in flu season you've all probably gotten reminders about updating your vaccines, let me just throw in there that if you are an adult, you could do with getting a blood test to see if you are still covered for the things you got vaccinated for as a kid.

Hey all, we’re in need of food + the local food bank is inaccessible. We’re trying to raise $50 so we can get food for the next 2 weeks. ko-fi.com/combatwombat... Any help is appreciated! We also have writing comms open @gqueercatboy.bsky.social ! TY for looking. 💜 #MutualAid #MAboost #Helpsky

Just a quick sketch process from a recent colored sketch portrait #art #artimelapse #portraitart

Which is why, when you want to read a book without paying for it, you should 100% go to the library instead of pirating it. You are supporting the authors that way and fun fact, libraries will and do buy multiple copies of a book if it is being borrowed often, giving more support to the author.

My least favorite type of cold is the evolving type. One day it's sore throat, sneezing an runny nose the next, nausea the next. Just let me suffer in one way! (I'm fine, I'm on the upswing and just whining.)

What I signed up for: Intermediate ASL classes What I got: Chatting for an 1.5 hours in English and learning 4 new signs.

I'm really happy my school offers remote tutoring, but I just saw a picture of the writing center and it's a weird mishmash of decorations and like 9 fish tanks??? Now I'm kind of sad it's on the other campus, I'll never see that beautiful mess in person.

One of the most delightful things at work is when I'm sorting mail to pick out the periodicals and I get ones addressed to "Mr. Reading Room". I've never seen on addressed to any of the other magazine locations but I would love to see a "Mr. Early Childhood Development" one day.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The vibe of this ASL class was really different. It was all beginners and they were so chatty! But so was the teacher. After months of voice off classes it was strange when I was asked to repeat myself in English.

The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

On a positive note about school, I really like my professors and luckily I'm taught by people who like what they do and what they teach. It's also fun that it's niche nerd stuff because some of the jokes or things they say are just ridiculous outside of this world.

I made my schedule for next semester and I had to split it up between two days. It kinda sucks because I have to commute twice, but tbh my mental health is suffering when I have to be studying/doing school work for 11 hours straight.

I can't stand coding. It works fine in the program but it's broken on the website. Fuck off!

We had to pay out the nose for bills, and our food stamps were cut. 🙃 We’re trying to raise $150 to get us through the 1st half of November, for phone/internet bills and groceries. Thank you for any help or sharing. ko-fi.com/combatwombat... #MutualAid #TransMutualAid #HelpSky #SNAPHelp

Listen, if you ever see anyone shit talk New York City and they have either never been, or only visited, discount their opinion. I have seen so many nonsense takes that so often come from not knowing how to get around/what to do or letting stereotypes take over and color their view.

How do people write something without rereading and editing it 500 times? Where does the confidence that you haven't made a fatal mistake somewhere come from?
