Chell's Geekery

I'm Chell (She/her) and I'm 31 years old. Autistic/Jewish/Pansexual. A part of too many fandoms to count.

Noting that the change in status was disconcerting and weird for everyone involved, family sources released a report Thursday confirming that it would never feel right seeing Dad in the backseat of the car. “It’s just wrong to look in the rearview mirror and see Dad sitting back there like a little kid,” read the report, which noted that while Dad was once a formidable presence capable of taking up physical and emotional space, he was actually looking pretty frail these days.

I love how they went for the four classical elements but realized they can’t call a sweet flavored beverage Water

Nothing is better than animal whose job it is to basically exist In a specific space. Bodega cat basically just lives there. Bookshop dog whose most taxing duty is waking up from naps to say hello to incoming customers. Librarian horse that basically just goes for walkies with their buddy everyday. Doctor's office fish that like to follow people back and forth as they move in the office.

All love and appreciation to the critters and to the kindly humans to make sure they live in peace and joy

...librarian ...horse???

[knitmeapony]

In rural areas there are librarian horses and librarian burros that pull cards or get pack loaded with books to take out to folks who can't be reached by other means.

Here's a link to the modern og's, but as I understand it they still exist in various places:

Pack Horse Library Project - Wikipedia

[drtanner]

They do!

Biblioburro: The amazing donkey libraries of Colombia - BBC Reel

[daughterofappalachia]

Horse-Riding Librarians Were the Great Depression's Bookmobiles

During the Great Depression, a New Deal program brought books to Kentuckians living in remote areas

The Pack Horse Librarians - Appalachian History

The Pack Horse Library Project (est. 1935) aimed to provide reading materials to rural portions of Eastern Kentucky with no library access.

This is one of my little favorite niche interests in history. There’s also a great fictional work called The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.

Anyway dni if you still support Cain, he hit his brother over the head with a fucking rock and it killed him instantly (source). I truly do not know how he still has fans. It astounds me how people can call themselves good people and still be completely fine platforming blatantly Abelist assholes like him. Smh
