It’s true this isn’t news to librarians. But it is A Huge Problem. For every library. Make noise about it.
No surprise to librarians, but perhaps surprising to users, demands/prices for ebooks /audiobooks are killing public library budgets. David Szalay's book, Flesh,” costs DCPL:
$28.99 hardcopy
$59.99 ebook
$69.99 audiobook
DCPL owns hardcopy; rents & must repurchase ebook & audio book every 2 yrs.

Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

Someone I work with answers her texts in 2-4 hours but answers emails typically within ten minutes and I would just like to know WHY. Like. It's not a problem at all, but what weird setup does she have where she gets emails faster than texts? And why has she chosen to live this way?

It is apparently going to be 80 fucking degrees F (27 fucking degrees C) today. It was also 80/27 yesterday. It is January. What the actual fuck, weather?

The problem with watching straight men react to #HeatedRivalry is that they tend to use the term throat goat at some point and that is tragically, horribly, revoltingly linked to Nancy Reagan in my mind (I am all for people having whatever sex works for them, but not Republicans, that’s disgusting)

Friends! Please tell me some movies you love. We have instituted Sunday Family Movie and we are running out of things to see. (No worries about content; I will be checking that. In general we dislike sad endings, animal death, and grimdark, though.)

Went to my sister’s house and returned with grocery bags full of avocados and tangerines. We will fill the same bags with lemons and give them to other people. (My sister has a lemon tree.)
Winter in Southern California is really just about handing around bags of produce.

Rice. Good rice is not that much more expensive and it tastes SO much better. And the right rice for the meal is also important; I have seven kinds of rice in my house.
Like fancy salt, what’s a simple thing that you’re bougie about?

The Citrus Glut has begun. Today we froze 8 cups of juice (in 1/4 cup amounts) and many bags of zest. I’m slightly worried because our tree doesn’t really ripen until February. This is just the overture. #GardenOfDoom

Texting with a friend who is being haunted by a specific actor and show. I explained to her the truth of the Blorbo Distribution System: You cannot fight the System. Whatever blorbo it gives you is yours until the System decides otherwise. My friend has no choice but to accept her fate.

People who sew: I have these shirts that have a terrible scratchy tag sewn into the side seam. Removing the tag leaves a hole in the seam. Is there some kind of tutorial you’d recommend on sewing those up? (By hand. I don’t have a machine.)

It is making me feel some kind of way to see straight men using ship portmanteaus without a single blink or hesitation. Is it a good feeling? A bad one? No idea. Get back to me in three to five weeks when my emotional processor has reported in. But this is where #HeatedRivalry has taken us.

Nephew A asked me to read something and give feedback.
A: It's very rough draft! No need to edit, this will all change.
Me: I am putting in these commas for ME, because it hurts me that they're not there.
A, nodding: Self-care is important. Comma away.

Just got out of a meeting where they brought all 75 people in with their cameras and mics on by default (turned off mine ofc) and why would you do that? Why would anyone ever want that?
Anyway there was a horrible buzzing sound for TEN MINUTES and then the host force muted everyone the end
