Did you find that holds were having a big impact on your library budget?
I’m struggling with the change — I loved the “Deliver Later” system and am not enjoying the “Suspend Hold” update.

@duolingoverde.bsky.social I miss the ❤️ system, Duo! The new energy system just isn’t the same.

Dear @washingtonpost.com , the firing of Karen Attiah is the latest in what I consider to be extremely detrimental changes at the Post, so I just canceled my subscription.

Flashback to when RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine activism led to a measles outbreak in Samoa that resulted in the death of 83 people, mostly children.

I’m having a dreadfully unproductive day. But in my defense, the #TinyDog is sending out serious snooze rays.

My local library just sent me a message: “Congratulations! You saved $182.30 last month!” And I got to read all that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford to read. Clever library!

We are tireddddd

I don't mean to be the Mr. Rogers of Bluesky (I say "fuck" too much for that), but I did want to say for the new folks it's okay to be sad about the former Twitter, and everything that was lost there. I was sad about it too when I finally left. It's a real place with real memories. I mourned a bit.

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"

Oh, thank you!
I am an unemployed librarian and I kind of need something to keep me going while I slog through hundreds of job applications that mostly receive no response.
I miss answering research questions!

One of the things every new Bluesky user should be aware of is that at some point you will be put on both a “shitlib” block list by someone and a “tankie communist” block list by someone and neither of them will matter but you will wonder why you got put on both

Why would so many people choose a potential tax break over … basic human decency? It’s just WILD… 💔

When we let them dismantle public education, they win.
We can’t let them come for the Department of Education. There’s too much at stake.

Mom talked our cousin around. She was just scared and needed reassurance.

Good luck today, #HarrisWalz! Let’s all stick to our #VotingPlans.
We’ve got this. ❤️

THIS is the content I need today to survive this most Monday of Mondays.
#KeepKalmala and #CarryOnAla. We’ve got this!

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes.com management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

TFW you think you know what "concubine" means and just go for it...

in hours and hours of door knocking, I have not seen any GOP people out canvassing, have seen fewer than ten pieces of Trump literature on doors, and have only heard about one Trump canvasser (who apparently had bad data and kept knocking on solidly dem doors)

Our cousin doesn’t like Trump but doesn’t want to vote b/c she doesn’t think VP Harris is “ready.”

Cuz has spent her whole life having men tell her *she’s* not ready, so I understand where the language is coming from.

But… my cousin? She DIDN’T LISTEN to those men then. Why should she listen now?

Y’all, the Election Anxiety feels a bit crushing this morning.

I am just clinging to the fact that my #Arizona early ballot for #HarrisWalz has already been accepted.

I have cast my vote for the #future of my #choice. Please let me know if you need #help making a #VotingPlan to cast yours.
