Why is it, whenever I go to see a show, I get stuck sitting behind the 8 foot tall lumberjack with ants in his pants? 🤦🏼♀️

Last night was one of those nights where I fell asleep and woke up in the exact same position. I don’t remember the last time I slept so hard.

The past couple of days for me have been filled with bad news - news of illness, death, etc. - and I am worn down. This morning I am laying in bed with 3 of my dogs, absorbing all of their love and goodness, and hoping for a better day.

While we were out yesterday, I told my husband we had to stop @ the library to pick up some books I had on hold. He then proceeded to go on a tangent about the 7 books that came in the mail & asked me why I’m buying books & borrowing them. Hey - he knew what he was getting into when he married me. 😉

Only to add to the insanity of the world, I am being forced to sit back and watch as one of the best co-workers I’ve ever had is being forced out of his job due to petty nonsense. So many people have spoken up for him, but the higher ups aren’t budging. I could scream.

What’s fun about having MS? Helping my daughter with her fractions homework and all of a sudden my brain just stopped functioning and I couldn’t remember how to do ANY of the problems I just spent the past 30 minutes helping her with. Like my mind went completely blank. One of my worst moments yet.

I spent 3 years working on my Master’s degree to be a librarian. I am finally working as a librarian. My husband tonight says to me “Are you working at the desk checking out books for people?” Is that…really what he thinks I do? 🤦🏼♀️

I have got so much stuff to do, but my dog has been asleep on my lap for a ridiculously long time and I refuse to wake him up.

It's totally fucking NUTS that we went 16 years without airline fatalities, and less than 2 weeks into trump's presidency we have planes crashing and falling out of the sky.
All while they're forcing top FAA and FBI folks to resign.
Nothing to see here, right? 🙄

This is what a high school student told the Granbury ISD school board. Wow.
"I'm not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school's library, that I don't need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point. I'm simply going to say that no government - and public school is an extension of government - has ever banned books, and banned information from its public, and been remembered in history as the good guys."

Oh good. I finally land my dream job and this 🍊 moron needs to pull this stunt. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
The administration says it will conduct a comprehensive review of grant recipients' political and social ideology before resuming any funding.

STATEMENT: Trump Freezes All Grant Funding to Libraries, Archives, and Museums
While this "pause" will negatively impact millions of Americans, it will also considerably impact libraries.

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

I am more upset than I’d care to admit about the TT ban. However, I am super excited to see all of the lovely #BookTok crew here and have already reserved my space on Tome so I can hopefully reconnect with many of the people I followed previously because I’d be lost without their recommendations!
