#durhamnc folks!! I happened upon the Books with Friends pickup location for Friends of Durham Library while I was at the DMV, and it’s SO COOL!! the pickup is for online orders and they carry a bunch of books for very cheap. your orders support the library! 📚 take a peep!

I'm just saying, we could settle this with swords, instead of 30+ emails. 🤺

@zippyelly.com ‘s OC Diana leaning against a tree.

May come back to this with some color but I’m esp proud of the hair.
Was also reminded myself that it’s much easier for me to draw women. 😆

I just spent the last few hours driving a U-Haul around town then loading a traveling library into it

Happy International Lesbian Day!

I worked in a local history department at one point, and we had so many obscure records! We had a few store ledgers in the archives and that ended up coming in handy for someone's genealogy project

Same! 😂

Thank you to everyone who's responded so far! I'm sharing responses with the family member who inspired this post, and it's definitely helping them turn their opinions around.

The last time I worked in a public library, we were absolutely a hub for people going through homelessness. I loved it when I could help them with something that made things a little less daunting.

ZippyElly @zippyelly.com · 5d

Just gotta keep pushing for gigs after that 💪

ZippyElly @zippyelly.com · 5d

Apparently the universe was listening because I just booked a gig for November!! 😭💕

Apparently the way I arranged the dressing room was so nice the wardrobe supervisor took pictures so he could replicate it at the next stop lmao

Working my first wardrobe gig in months, and now I know that this really is where I belong.

I've missed this so much, I can't believe I let the tour that let me go get to me like that.

I am really damn good at what I do, and if they couldn't see that then sucks to be them. 🤷‍♀️

...so I got email confirmation that I'm not coming back to the show I've been touring with. I had a feeling it was coming when my contract didn't get renewed, but seeing "we will be moving in another direction with the wardrobe position that you held" written out is making me physically ill

What a mood, Cleo

I mean that sounds like a great use to me!

Ohhh I love that they rent out cooking equipment!!

The last time I worked in a library we had a lot of people come in to use the printers and scanners because it made more sense to use ours for free than to shell out the money to buy one and use it maybe once.

This is one of my favorite openings! It also reminds me of my skater buddies, especially the one that had a little Makkachin keychain on his travel day bag.

I love them dearly but we have this conversation at least once a month, so hopefully social media will convince them since that's where they get a lot of their information anyway 🙃
