We're all just a bag of bones

I don’t generally trust studies, but this is hilarious. Sorry, Status Quo Warriors, are we too logical for you? xD Do our facts and logic trigger you?

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!

Oh my gosh! Not reshelving books is super important and everyone needs to know this.

Holy shit I had no idea

Favorite moment from that rebate. Civility, decency and comradeship can exist amongst competitors. It’s heartening to see.

We need to remember this no matter the outcome of the primary.

To the point I’ve been making…

welp

Holy shit, re blog the fuck outta this

I am absolutely against any and all men having guns, as all men are socialized to be violent, unempathetic, entitled, overreactive, impulsive and aggressive. However, debating with or asking men to give up their guns, or even simply look at and acknowledge male violence and socialization, isn’t going to lead anywhere, just like it hasn’t after ever other mass shooting. Even though men are unsympathetic towards women, they are sympathetic to, and identify with, violent men. Men are not willingly going to give up their guns, and it doesn’t matter how much research you show them, how many statistics, how much proof you show them, they do not care, and that’s part of their violence. Male violence, male socialization, masculinity, must be the center and focus of gun related violence, and violence in general as well.

oh an I forgot to mention he posted what he was gonna do on a thread in 4chan the night before

holy shit. Being a woman is like constantly being in a war zone.
