It’s not great. I miraculously made it to the conference on time, we shall see if I last all day.

True story. I’m sick all the time but still gotta make money.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 2h

I’d like that but don’t know if I’ll get reimbursed for conference costs already paid if I don’t go to at least some of the conference.

Local woman wakes up, had gut pain and nausea all night bad enough to maybe go to the hospital or at the very least take a sick day but instead she’s going to a library conference for two days because chronic illness, makes oatmeal.

Jeff and I just finished watching the whole series last night after a year (?) so it’s fresh in my mind too. Also she was absolutely the best part of the show.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 11h

I don’t know if they confirmed it but it’s pretty obvious; she starts off as pop Alanis with Let’s go to the mall and becomes emo Alanis for the PS I love you music video. And even has a bit of You can’t do that on television Alanis with the Space teens tv show.

Ok but Robin Sparkles is Alanis so we basically agree.

I look forward to it. And on one hand I do think the lost ending was brilliant and existential and on the other I think they really just made it seem like they were dead all along,

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 11h

It was a mostly perfect show until the ending, bring it on, Pavlek. Make a video critiquing me if you must.

Same, I love it and want to rewatch but it might make me too mad.

‪After reflecting for 24 hours, I think the only acceptable and appropriate way to have ended that show would have been with a final Robin Sparkles music video. ‬

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 12h

PS I love you (when she’s doing emo Alanis) is pure art too.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 12h

Let’s not compare women pop singers with each other and just agree that Robin Sparkles is the best.

Yes, and then they could’ve had a few less seasons as well.

I’ve got plenty of other things to watch so I’m not worried, but may mix that in at some point too.

A Feisty portrait, painted by Theresa. 💕

Theresa 🇨🇦 @resad.bsky.social · 1d

I’m a portrait artist always up for a challenge. A photo caught my attention that @feistywaters.com posted. With Jen’s permission, I attempted to capture her ‘Mona Lisa’ smile. How’d I do? It was great fun to paint. A few things were thrown in the background for artist license. #Art #PortraitArtist

An oil painting of a women wearing a lavender t-shirt that says Oatmeal Socialist across the front. She has a smile that suggests she is full of mischief. She has tattoos on her arms. She stands in a park and behind her is a sculpture found in Edmonton that is an organic shape in purples, pinks, blues, and yellow-greens to match the greens in the foliage around it.

I’m sure you’ve seen far more bodily fluids than we have! But really any amount of bodily fluids is too much, when it’s something you need to clean up.

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 1d

It’s lovely, thank you Theresa! Sneaky smile, Vaulted Willow, oatmeal socialist, you captured my spirit well :) ❤️

That's correct. My colleagues also had a nice story about vomit in the library that happened while I was on the west coast road trip, so sad I missed that but there will be plenty of other gems to deal with.

It's a good book, especially for those who haven't worked in libraries and don't know the extent of the shit we deal with :)

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 1d

It’s on my list of books that I haven’t written yet :)

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 1d

It’s all thanks to my supportive fans.

Local woman wakes up, re-releases the Life of a Librarian rant about 24 hr library discourse in a deluxe edition with all the annoying reply guy comments and some super cute glittery bracelets, makes oatmeal.

The monster of the week was the best of the reboot ones too. I truly think it should’ve ended with the chess match in Vancouver (and not just because I was in that crowd scene :)

Jen the Feisty Librarian @feistywaters.com · 1d

Oh yeah I love the show but also think it’s terrible much of the time. When it was good, pure brilliance and when bad, SO bad.
