Chasing the Ace

I love to read and write, and I have strong opinions about, well, most things...So you'll find all sorts of things on here.

So, a DJ who wants to make a little extra could, theoretically, take bids for or against playing "Footloose."

This is how you should respond when told your products are too pricey for average folks to buy for their kids.

putting books on hold at the library is a lot of fun becuase it is the exact same feeling as online shopping but absolutely free which makes it more powerful because there is no limit and no monetary reason to stop. you can put as many books on hold as you want.

[evil-genius-42]

Except that my libraries have limits on how many books I can put on hold.

My emotions are all screwed up. There are times I want to cry, when it would be normal to cry, but I just can't make anything happen. And then there are these stupid little things that make me sob for several minutes.

“How can you not be angry?”

“I am angry,” the werewolf said. “But unlike you, I don’t have the luxury of showing it without being called a monster. Without someone taking it as a sign of proof that I need to be put down like a rabid dog, that I’m just like what the stories tell you.” 

“But everyone gets angry…that’s human.”

“Up until the point when you’re not human.”

[mckitterick]

such a wonderful metaphor for anyone Othered by society

This is peak public librarian.

"It knocked a book off, so we can use that for our funding metrics."

"Everything with ectoplasm gets scanned for count use. If it tries to lead you anywhere, that's reference."

[seasaltcosmos]

we seriously need to bring back the concept of “despite its flaws i still enjoy it” instead of ‘cancelling’ every fuckin thing in sight 

[zoewashburne]

#we need to trust that just because someone loves a thing it doesn’t mean they don’t know it’s flawed

[cosmiagramma]

We also need to stop insisting that everyone enjoying flawed things must put 25 cents in the Problematic Jar and recite all its failings from memory.

[virtualcarrot]

If I just may add: we really need to stop pretending that “I’m a Good person, ergo the thing I like is PERFECT and if you criticize it you’re an ENEMY”. You can enjoy stuff AND keep your sense of critical thinking.
