my dad had this bit growing up where whenever he was introduced to a little kid, he’d ask them how old they are and then be like “when I was your age, I was older” and he stole this from a standup routine on the radio but the gag works marvelously on children, you can see the gears in their little brains turning trying to understand the statement and formulate a response and then they giggle. 10/10 bit.
fite me!
"what makes me different?"
I lied. Put your clothes back on. I haven’t seen my wife in twelve years and I need to find a way to evade Poseidon, so if you could just un-pig my men-
heading home today a giant spider appears was under my car
...I had a guy come in today asking about how to get his kids library cards. I told him. He asked me how hard it would be for them to get them, and I said that all it took was their presence and his government ID.
He told me about how nice the system was here, where it was so easy to get a card; he said that there was a beautiful public library in Beijing that was top of the line and everything, but that the only way to access it was if you were a high ranking government official or a top professor or something. Instead, our library "serves the reader." His kids will be able to take chapter books home at no cost. He'll even be able to get books in Chinese here so that his native language skills don't atrophy.
I didn't even really know what to say, so I told him how to ask us to buy books for him that we don't already have so that he can still read them at no extra cost. I don't know how to shore up what it must feel like to know that there are books out there you can't read; I've always grown up with a good library nearby. It reminded me of working in my old library, though, where families who spoke Spanish were startled to find out we took any government ID with a formal address in town— even foreign IDs— so that their kids could get access to all of our titles in all the languages we offered.
Ah. Anyway, I hope you check out a library book with this thought in mind. I checked out the first volume of YJ98 today with that thought in mind. I didn't have to pay anything. I put it on hold, and there it was.
Edit: for those who struggle with reading comprehension; no, this patron interaction is not meant to represent the status of the Chinese public library system at large nor the country of China itself; this was my response to a random Chinese immigrant dad's anecdotal concerns as he expressed them to me, because the whole breadth of concern I'm responsible for while on desk starts and ends at recommending which library services would fulfill his needs. If you think he misunderstood or was lying about the status of public libraries in China, that isn't something I'm charged to verify before writing my thoughts and feelings about the patron interactions I was exposed through throughout my day. Expecting anything else is absurd.
Edit edit: Also, your library may not actually use Libby as the distribution method for their ebook collection. The best way to find out about how to access your library's ebook collection is to call them directly.

My week 2 Artfight attacks!
Find me on Artfight @/autumnmay!

scars in fiction: I got this trying to save my lover from an assassin- but tragically, I was too late. now I carry the mark of my failure with me always, and I can never forget~
scars in real life: so I was trying to open macaroni sauce with a paring knife
Tell me how you got your scars in the tags

also me: wow the picture that i was working on looks so much better after i looked up a reference
Late Mermay Addition!
would you rather be forced to only drive in a dungeon meshi or a genshin impact itasha (those cars plastered with anime characters)?
easy. dungeon meshi. i can just have food pics lmao.
you know what they always say: the stronger the laser canon you use to beat up your future friend, the longer the friendship!
Every Studio Ghibli (and if we want to be specific, Miyazaki) film covers at least one of three criteria:
Anti-war
Pro-environmentalism
An adaptation of something pre-existing (usually a manga or a novel)
Based on these three criteria, Nausicaä Valley of the Wind is therefore the Most Ghibli Film to Ghibli. (Anti-war, pro-environmentalism and most importantly, an adaptation of a manga that Miyazaki wrote prior to making the movie. He also, in classic Miyazaki adaption fashion, changed how the story goes for the adaptation of his own original story)
preface: i have my chem final tomorrow. things are looking great.
- i just learned (today, less than 24 hours before my exam) that 1000 Joule = 1 kilojoules and not the other way around. i have no idea how i have a passing grade in homework.
- a classmate mentioned stoichiometry and i had to Google what that meant. (i know how to balance equations, i just straight up forgot the term for it).
- still does not fully understand how to tell a weak/strong acid or base apart through just chemical formulas (as far as i can tell, you just have to brute force memorize it)
- had to google “ionic v.s. covalent bonds” because i forgot
- still gets oxidation and reduction confused (oxidize is lose electrons, and reduction is gain electrons. it hurts every time i think of it)
- might just be because my professor’s questions are weird, but every time i have to balance thermochemical equations it doesn’t make any sense??? like, the formals don’t check out and i don’t know what im doing wrong
- am doing practice problems, i got it wrong and i don’t know why the right answer is the right answer im so screwed aaaaa
- what is London dispersion forces. why is there London in front of it. i thought it was just dispersion force?? London my country???
- what is amorphous solid and why have i just learned about this in khan academy. i really need to not keep falling asleep in class omg.
anyhow imma keep studying. i’ll add to this if i get more mishaps. @=@
so, small update. i got a 69.4% on the final. which means that i pass with a C+! given that my class average was 45% i think i did pretty well. i do not have to retake this class now, which is always a plus.
i am proud to announce that i passed my last chem class needed for my major (organic chemistry: elements). as per my past two chem classes, i passed by the skin of my teeth. a pass is a pass!
