A peek inside my mind

me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect

When you go for an MLS (Master’s of Library Science, which is a thing, and which is usually required for “professional-level” library work [which is also a weird and contentious concept that I won’t go into here]), one of the things you study is the organization of information. This deals with how to determine what a book or other material is “about"—a concept we tongue-in-cheek call “aboutness"—and how to convey that to a potential user of the item and make it easy for them to find. Things like keywords and subject headings, do I put this book about how often wild birds attack aerial drones in with books about birds or with books about technology, if its a fictional novel do I put fantasy in it’s own section or mix it in with all of the other fiction, so on and so on.

OP is organizing books by how they would look for them. OP’s partner is thinking in terms of aboutness. This is a system that works for OP because it’s their personal library: they know basically what books they own and they only own books that are relevant to them, and if they know what the book looks like, that can be a quick way to find it.

In a library that assumes the public (or people who do not own that particular collection of books) are using the collection, that doesn’t work. Books are often re-issued in multiple covers, or re-bound in new covers when they get worn out, and if the user doesn’t know what the book looks like or is expecting a different cover, they’re lost. That’s why non-personal libraries used standardized cataloging systems like the Dewey Decimal System or Library of Congress System to organize a book by what it’s “about”, and then put books about the same or similar topics together, marked with labels and signage so a person unfamiliar with the book or collection can find their way to it.

Basically, OP’s system works for their own personal library, because it’s best suited to how the primary user—OP themselves—looks for books. OP’s librarian partner is coming from a background of thinking in terms of a public-facing collection, where aboutness is the key criteria and communicating it to a user unfamiliar with the collection is the priority.

Oklahoma (my home state) fully banned gender affirming care for EVERYONE regardless of age (Image below, please read it)

I'd be really happy if people shared this post around because I am sick and tired of nobody talking about this, y'all remember those anti trans laws that passed in Florida?

Those originated in Oklahoma.

My state banned gender affirming healthcare for anyone under 25 before Florida did and guess which one got widespread discussion and which one got completely ignored?

It especially hurts given all the violently racist and anti indigenous shit my state's governor has said over the years that has gone completely under the radar in wider online leftist circles.

The same man, Wiener said, stalked him on a plane in December 2023, shouting at him about his “tainted bloodline.” He likes also going after SF Mayor Adam Lurie, also Jewish

He wants you to know how much he loves rooting for villians in fiction, like Homelander, and how even though he hates tech bros but thinks they should be allowed to 'get high' teehee.

Not Jews with "tainted ancestry" though

I don't especially give a shit if somebody is reading the books or watching the movies in private, but if you're being loudly, stridently, openly fannish about it you've got to be aware at this stage of things how that's perceived? At the bare minimum, being perceived as transphobic wasn't a deal breaker.

Yes. You can't UwU Let's All Get Along about whether or not a given group of people should have human rights.
