We JUST got library patrons used to Windows 10. Now we have to change it on them again. Honestly, library staff too.

My mother: Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are separating. Apparently he’s been getting frisky with his 25 year old guitarist. She’s gotta stop going for short men.

(I have not googled any of this information bc Mom News is sacred)

I’ve been a Capital L Librarian for just over 4 years and I’ve been put in a mentorship position with the freshly hired and freshly degreed.

It’s great and awesome the amount of trust out on me, but god I’m so sleepy.

It’s very hard for me not to hear this in the voice of a Bond villain dangling the Pope over a ravine (don’t worry, he’s rescued right after this)

A terribly out of focus image of Flyers mascot Gritty with his mouth agape during a horror type ad at Eastern State Prison in Philadelphia last Halloween.
Gritty is an orange furry…creature with googly eyes, a Flyers jersey, and helmet.

happy birthday Gritty

Tweet asking "Can anyone explain to this confused Italian living in the US what is up with Philadelphia and Gritty?? Is he their daimon?"

Reply: "II believe he's the manifestation of their city as a god, like Roma."

Spent the evening at a library program unfortunately only attended by library employees, but god it’s so nice talking to coworkers I don’t see a lot.

Bookish Hot Take, apparently: If you love “Why Choose” romances or “Reverse Harem” (which, ugh stop using that, Publishing), you can’t be offended at queer romances.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI?

Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says ‘organized’ Trump protesters could be investigated

Blanche spoke as DOJ sought to walk back Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments about "hate speech," which landed her in hot water with conservatives.

Still from SpongeBob SquarePants where SpongeBob is stuffed in his mailbox with his face poking out, the mail fish delivering said mail looking frightened and scattering letters around the area.

A badly pasted image of the Nightfire cover TBD of Tingle’s newly announced book Fabulous Bodies in the mail fish’s hand…flipper.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.
