Not Your Ordinary Princess

Thanks

Reblog if you also lost your teenage years to major depression or other mental illnesses and missed out on doing normal teenage things and also didn’t have friends lol

If your intentions aren’t pure, I do not want you in my life. Not as a friend, not even as an acquaintance. I’m all the way good.

YES.

It’s weird…libraries almost feel /wrong/ now. It’s like I walk in and think “This is great…where do I put my money?”

I used to work on a campus library and if you want someplace to put your money, so to speak, make sure you put books back in the designated areas. I know you think you’re being helpful by reshelving, but even if you pull something out to read a couple paragraphs just stick it in the basket for things you didn’t want. I don’t care if you know EXACTLY where you are. In academic libraries (at least in Texas) our funding was determined by how many books people looked at. So we got additional funding based on books not being reshelved. If there’s a designated shelf/basket for things you don’t want, stick things in it!

What @standbyyourmantis said about not reshelving is true for public libraries, too. Our funding is dictated largely by how ‘used’ we are, so we scan all the items that are laying about as In House Use. That, tied with Reference Count and Door Counter numbers (we have to manually put in the time we take for references) to prove we’re providing a needed service. We also have to count the number of people who come for our programs, which not only helps funding but shows that the programming/services are needed, as well. So, basically, if you want to feel like you’re making sure we’re getting paid and staying around, keep these in mind.

I didn’t know that’s why you’re not supposed to reshelf!

Wow! That’s astounding!

LIBRARIES!!!

I’ve lost how many times I get asked about how much it costs to get a library card. It’s free. Everything is free unless it’s late or you lose an item. Free. Free. Free. Free.

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE HANG OUT IN BATHROOMS!!!! BATHROOMS ARE A PLACE FOR PEEING AND I DONT WANT YOU TO HEAR ME PEE!!!!!!!

I see too many recovery/positivity blogs pushing that “you can do everything you put your mind to” and that “you’re limitless” so this is your daily reminder that you don’t have to push yourself past your limits to be strong, that pushing yourself past your limits can have negative consequences for your mental and physical health and that there’s strength and recovery in acknowledging and accepting your limits.

Be sad but get up. You don’t have to shower. You can put on the same clothes you wore yesterday. Nobody will care. The sky is blue, wildflowers are blooming by the side of the road. Strangers have stories to tell. Go for a walk, go for a drive, go to a greenhouse, a bookstore, a movie theater. You can stay in bed but nothing is going to happen there. Sometimes you’ve really just got to get the fuck up.

My mom used to do this for me in the backyard as a kid- it really works and I always loved it! Spent so many summer days having tea parties with teddy bears in my sunflower house.

Okay so… I could witch the hell outta this

do you want faeries? this is how you get faeries

when channing tatum was 16 he dated a guy and he’s spoken about it in great length and referred to himself as not-straight so stop calling him part of straight culture lmao

CHANNING TATUM LOVES MEN and works really hard to remind everyone of that all the time and somehow it keeps getting rewritten and forgotten because queer erasure is WILD, support Channing Tatum, man, he’s the genuinely kind inoffensive white normy looking guy we all dream of existing but think can’t be real, Channing unicorn Tatum

It was so disappointing when he went to Pride after he came out, and was happy and dancing and waving his flags, then it was posted all over the place as “This is how you be a straight ally.”

Channing Tatum is bisexual. Let’s use that word more often and not refer to bisexual people are “non-straight” because that is so silly. 

Please use bisexual. It’s important people know that it is a sexuality. CALL BISEXUAL PEOPLE BISEXUAL.
