Stereotypical librarian, I have three cats and I knit my own cardigans. Opinions are my own.

ICE was created in the post-9/11 haze as security theater and immediately weaponized against racial and ethnic minorities. There's nothing to reform, it shouldn't exist.

OK, wish me luck, I am about to go for a walk while shaking this idiot's treat jar in the hope he didn't get far when he got out last night.

OK, this is the year I learn to bake bread from scratch, got it. Anybody with a good sourdough starter, hit me up.

So yes, I am a romantasy reader, if anyone asks
Back when Shades of Milk and Honey was published, we didn't use the term "romantasy." But that's absolutely what it is. Just saying, in case you're looking for a romantasy book to read during the holidays. bookshop.org/p/books/shad...
Shades of Milk and Honey
Check out Shades of Milk and Honey - <p><i>Shades of Milk and Honey</i> is an intimate portrait of Jane Ellsworth, a woman ahead of her time in a world where the manipulation of glamour is considered ...

I like to tell the story of how, at the library where I used to work, the first poetry book that ever had a hold list so long we had to buy more copies was Milk and Honey, by Rupi Kaur
To be honest I’ve always found the Rupi Kaur hate manufactured and incredibly tired. There are countless writers out there doing a worse job. Sorry if that’s upsetting to the people who have made hating her their whole personality.

You know, I usually can't stand to listen to political speeches--something about the cadence and the shoutiness throws me off, so I nearly always read the transcript the next day instead.
But I listened to this.

in case anyone hasn't watched the full thing, do it. it's a damn treat.
I don't think I realized it until now, but I'd been waiting my whole life to hear a politician sound like they want the people to govern with them

Teen Vogue has had more guts to dissect and expose the truth when so many veteran media outlets have bent their knees to a criminal despot and his regime and this news is absolutely appalling and unacceptable
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I am also 56 now after my birthday and I concur with every part of this statement.
I have officially begun exercising again, and resuming it confirms what I already knew about myself: I fucking hate it, never get the benefit of "endorphin rush" and therefore participate in it only under duress, ie, the knowledge that as a 56-year-old person, if I don't, later life will suck more.

I like to joke that what every library needs is a basket of name tags with fake surnames, so staff can pull one at random at the start of their shift. And I made that joke at a library that changed the policy to allow just first names on badges back in 2010.
This is an issue in libraries as well. Having your full name on your badge can lead to harassment or stalking.
University of Iowa Health Care administrators say they’re “evaluating our badge naming practices based on employee feedback and evolving industry standards” after 500-plus nurses and staff covered their last names with union stickers in protest. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...
