Not an invitation to cocoon yourself in a self-care bubble for four years, but a reminder to the 24/7 worriers that you can literally write "To Do on Monday: Worry about ________" on a post-it note and stop worrying about it for one day while you recharge.
Another point: Both your mental health and your ability to resist will be improved by finding a community. A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved. And apes together strong.
I was checking out at the grocery store yesterday and this man who was there stocking cokes came up to the cashier. They had obviously been talking before I walked up because he started in like they were in the middle of a conversation. He seemed to be worked up, like he was stewing over something and couldn’t wait until I had left to pick the topic back up. He told the cashier he didn’t understand the stupid libtards’ point. He said “Tell me ONE thing that has changed in their lives since Trump was elected. ONE THING. Nothing. Nothing has changed, so why are they so angry?”
I looked at this clean cut, forty something year old white man who clearly had a decent job, and thought, yeah. Things have changed, on both sides. The POC in America are being targeted. Women are being targeted. We have to choose to live “bravely” by exerting our right to exist, to pursue liberty and prosperity. And the people who, just a few years ago, had to whisper their terrible beliefs and opinions in secret and privacy, now feel perfectly at ease shouting them to the world. The thing that changed is that the racists and bigots feel safe and protected, and the rest of the world does not.
I wish I could have said this. I wish I had spoken up. But the gritted teeth, the angrily squinted eyes, and the agreement of the cashier, they told me there was no changing this angry man’s mind. I don’t even think he understood how hateful he was being. I felt like crying. He wouldn’t see, he could never see anything beyond his own existence. The fact that he felt comfortable saying this in front of a CUSTOMER just showed his hand. He assumes everyone feels the same as he does. That I would agree with him. I don’t know how to fix any of this.
Happy #ObamaDay

thank you.

-“mommy, the kids at school are mean to me!”
-“OH, WHAT, ARE U #TRIGGERED???, LIFE ISNT UR #SAFE SPACE LMAO”
Stay away from children for the rest of your lives please
The people who hate this are probably the ones traumatizing their children
this is a show for 3 - 6 year olds what is WRONG with these monsters???
Fun fact, sesame street was created to fill the gap in education for children whose families could not afford to send them to preschool. Sesame street taught basic math and phonics as well as interpersonal skills so that children below the poverty line weren’t starting elementary school behind their more privileged classmates.
Here sesame street is trying to fill a gap where supportive adults should be. Where there should be a teacher or a family member or a counselor to help, for whatever reason, there isn’t, so Sesame Street is stepping in.
This breed of person has always hated Sesame Street. They hated it for showing black and white children playing together. They hated it for giving children of color the head start that rich white families were paying for. They hated it for Bert and Ernie for showing two MEN who LIVED TOGETHER, for the married black nurse who lived on sesame street when it was first released, and for them explaining death. I feel like there was a pregnancy at some point in its early days and they would have REALLY hated that.
These days they don’t (usually) say “I’m not letting my kid watch anything with black kids in it” but they sure throw a tantrum in the youtube comments when Sesame Street DARES to show an autistic girl playing with non-autistic children and being treated like shes anyone else. They lose their shit when Sesame Street has to explain incarceration to 5 year olds. And the muppet in south africa with HIV? Hoo boy.
They hate everything Sesame Street stands for and tries to provide. They always have. We just have to ignore them and keep supporting the show. Or tell them to shut the fuck up and keep supporting the show. Either way Sesame Street will outlive them.
Sesame Street will outlive them.
And then… it didn’t. RIP Sesame Street.
Was Elrond in a gay marriage? We don’t know, because it’s none of our goddamn business. … No matter what Elrond got up to, it didn’t effect his ability to perform his job like a boss. And that is to provide travelers with great directions.

Libraries are a forest afterlife
bro i would honestly love a horror movie directed by Dom
Or Tom.
do you guys remember “kick his ass baby i got yo flower”
this is like asking a medieval christian monk if he remembers the ten commandments like if not what have I been wasting my years learning
Memories.
newbie asked if we're supposed to look out for 'red flags' in interlibrary loan requests in reference to a request a patron had made for a book about cannibalism. she was looking expectantly at me like she was expecting me to be equally aghast at this........girl why would you work at a library if you want to play book police
I'm fascinated to know what kind of world this girl lives in. For what reason are those books in the library at all if not to be checked out and read? Are they there as honeypots for Problematic People™? If you check out a Red Flag Book™, you've fallen into the Evil Person Trap™ and need to be taken in for reeducation, I suppose.
On the other side of this, I love the mental image of a guy who’d really like to get into cannibalism but doesn’t know where to start, so he heads down to his local library for some pointers.
#yeah don’t be weird about what they read — but like um — asking for a book on how to abuse your child is kind of a request that I#dont want to complete and I’m glad to not be there anymore#like I’m a mandatory reporter and have been asked to get a book on how to abuse children — um — conflict of interest no?#and this is not a case of my exaggeration — that book when searched had news articles and lawsuits because children died#it wasn’t in our system so I had to send it to the ILL person and it was their judgement call#but yikes
So I understand having a reaction like that on a gut level (I'm guessing the book was To Train Up a Child, as I've read several news articles about abuse cases in which it was mentioned), but here's the crucial thing that we learn in our very first semester of library school:
You do not know why somebody wants to read a particular book.
Is it possible they wanted to read it for terrible fundamentalist Christian parenting advice? Sure. But it's also possible they read the same news articles about the abuse cases that I did and were simply intrigued about what the book actually said. It's possible they were doing research on fundamentalism or abuse and thought it was an important piece of material to include. It's possible they suspected their own parents used were inspired by the book and wanted to have a better understanding about what happened to them as a child. It's possible they actually wanted How to Train Your Dragon and got the titles confused. You just don't know!
Like, I can't tell you how many times I've had somebody ask for materials on topics that I find unsavoury, only to learn later that said person was doing research on extremism, denial, etc. and very much didn't agree with the materials in question. Hell, sometimes I have students coming in saying "I need help finding scholarly articles on why vaccines are bad/gay marriage shouldn't be legal/Women don't deserve equal pay/etc," only to have it turn out the student is actually making the opposite argument in their paper, but were told by the instructor they need to have one credible opposing source.
The reasons people have for reading things are not cut and dry, and even if somebody is more inclined to have a certain viewpoint, you still can't know with any certainty what they'll actually think of the book once they've read it. They could agree with the premise. They could disagree with it. They could find it boring and not absorb much of the content. They could forget to read the book before it's due back and return it without even cracking the spine.
We cannot presume to know the intentions of our patrons based solely on the content they're requesting. That kind of logic is for cops, not librarians.
You do not know why
somebody wants to read a
particular book.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Self love and healing spell bottle
You will need: An incense cone/stick to burn (I used frankincense for protection and purification) Rose quartz chip (encourages self love and aids emotional healing) Lavender (healing) Peppermint (protection and healing) Rosemary Incense ashes Sea Salt
A white candle to seal the bottle
Steps: Start by burning the incense to purify the space. Add all ingredients while focusing on your intent and visualizing your negativity and pain being put into the bottle. Light the candle, close and seal the bottle.
WRITE IT. FUCK EVERYONE ELSE.
The last time I left my house was 17 days ago and on that day I walked past a man who was sitting in his car with the windows open and as I walked past, someone on his radio said “now sports! sports is, there are no sports”
That was the last day of Massachusetts
Why are people commenting like “this is night vale” or “I can’t tell if this really happened or it’s an apocalyptic vision” like are you all not aware that there’s an unprecedented international disaster happening? What is not normal life in March 2020 about this post
The radio channel I listen to has a guy who does the traffic report every morning and he got so fed up of saying basically "theres no traffic because everyone is at home" that he started getting listeners to message him with the traffic that's in their home. like "in Steve's house in Surrey today theres a massive delay between the bedroom and the dining room table that is where Steve is working because the dog is lying in the doorway. the current recommended diversion is via the kitchen for a cup of tea."
That's adorable, and very funny, and oh god we're all going insane.
i wish bards weren’t turned into the jokey silly class of thots, for zero reason other than the fact that i cannot comprehend them being able to cast power word kill
They can cast power word kill???
according to roll20 they can
pompous skinny human man in puffy pants: anyways heres wonderwall [strums lute]
enemy barbarian: [dies instantly]
Obviously Power Word Kill is just Vicious Mockery turned up to 11. You insult them so hard they just die on the spot.
then hecklers at my sold-out fiddle performance of the year better be ready for my dumb face to be the last thing they see before the force of me saying “suck my balls you motherfucker” shatters their skull on impact

So why is no one talking about how brutal Eeyore was in the original books?
Just look
This Donkey is holding no punches
I just realized that all these qoutes are basically Eeyore being done with Piglet
for the next Reboot That Makes Men Angry I’d like to submit for your consideration Lupita Nyong'o as Indiana Jones
and she steals artifacts from museums and returns them to their rightful cultures
Oh my god, imagine the Indiana Jones temple-robbing scenes in reverse! She walks through the Scorpion pit, she ducks under the swinging axe, she jumps the spike trap… She pulls the idol from her bag and gently places it back on the altar. Then she walks out without looking back while all around her, the temple settles back down into tranquility.
The beginning of the movie would start with a heist to rob the museum which would make it a double adventure heist movie.
I know I said I didn’t want to see any more remakes/reboots in cinema but- I do very desperately want to see this
