(she/her) I'm a librarian and also the real-life epitome of High Intelligence, Low Wisdom. My partner/husband are the same person, I just use the terms interchangeably, much like I use their he/they pronouns. Watching the Library of Alexandria burn in real time. "Push Nazis into Shark Tanks"

A fellow librarian in my network after informing me that her institution will not hire me and giving me a lot of interviewing tips and things I can do in my current role to get more experience: You are taking this really maturely and with quite a lot of grace, that's admirable.

Me: I mean, I dig a learning experience. I really appreciate you taking the time to mentor me and offer productive feedback.

Me, internally: I also got rejected a lot romantically in my teens and then rejected a lot professionally in my early twenties so I'm actually really good at it. This is like. Not even top ten most painful rejections. You're doing a good job at rejecting me.

I don't think it's unreasonable for our public officials to be expected to prove they're alive and not in a coma to be able to retain their office.

If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.

If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.

Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.

And there should be, you know, consequences for the people who would do such a thing.

The Mitch McConnell situation rn

localmochasquid

lonelyroommp3

timeline of beauty and the beast is actually crazy when you properly deep it. like hello selfish and mean teenager. i am placing a curse on you and if you are not, despite being under a curse, fully self actualised and emotionally stable and capable of a healthy loving relationship by the age of 21 you will be doomed forever. actually that’s kind of what it feels like to do an undergraduate degree while mentally ill to be fair

Been hovering over the crab rave button for days now, they cannot keep this up forever

this episode of game changer is very two kids who were constantly told they would be a good lawyer when they grew up plus the kid who beat them both for class president (they will never forget this slight) @dropoutdottv

awesome when there's a devoted platonic duo who love each other greatly and also one of them is married, and their friend and their spouse are both equally important to them

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.

It’s so sad that students are now relying so heavily on AI for writing essays because they’re missing out on the best part of writing an essay which is when you’re a few paragraphs in and you just reach that flow state where your thought process becomes one with the essay and you’re slamming the keys so hard that you’re on the verge of destroying your laptop. I used to get high off of that shit

We have a lone can of strawberry Monster in the fridge that has been there for months (I needed a Monster to function one day but it was cheaper to buy two) and serves as a "break glass in case of emergency" beverage. I don't like to drink energy drinks very often because while the energy I get is good, the crash I get later is miserable. But it stays there because I know one day I will inevitably work a very early morning where I need it. Like, I'll need it so bad I won't even think about it, I'll just grab it from the fridge. Coincidentally, this means it is also a good litmus test for my partner to see how I'm doing. One day he'll open the fridge and it will be gone and he'll just go "Oh, shit."
