I love that team rocket is in Pokémon go now but I just can’t them seriously bc their main goal is to steal items from poke stops but like.....poke stops are free? You don’t have to steal them you can literally just walk up to a poke stop and get the items for free. It’s like stealing a balloon on free balloon day

In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.

Okay two things

1) every time I see something like this, or photos of wild unrealistic landscapes that really exist, or spectacular architecture, whatever it is, I think again that when we write fantasy, we NERF REALITY. That is, here's some dude with a special interest and a brain that somehow lacks basic self preservation mechanisms, and he's out here looking like a super hero. Regular humans are capable of things we seem super human. Real landscapes are more fantastical than our fantasies. Reality is more fantastical than our fantasies.

2) how the fuck did he not kick out any windows that's the most impressive part of the whole video.

So as someone who used to teach parkour back in the day, this dude isn’t just talented. His technique is amazing.

It’s not just about not kicking out windows. Controlling how you land is about shock absorption, about minimizing the strain on your joints. It also makes you quieter when you move. A good landing should be as silent as possible, because loud landings hurt. That’s the foundation of everything else you do in parkour. So by the time you’re climbing buildings, if you’re breaking windows it means you don’t have enough control to land safely and it’s time to go back to your ground basics.

Coworkers are bitching about teenagers coming to the park during school hours. First of all you do not know that they are supposed to be in school. School is not prison. Second of all who gives a shit. We are in Baltimore and I would much rather these kids come hang out in the woods than. Like. Literally anywhere else. Do not make them feel bad for being outside.

Coworker: We gotta do something with all these Spanish kids hanging around the grounds.

Me: Great idea! :) Maybe we can get one of the bilingual staff to find out what kind of activities they would like us to run in Spanish. :)

Coworker: That's not what I meant. These kids don't want to come to our programs.

Me: Then we should really try to figure out what kind of new programs we could offer instead! :)

Coworker: They just want to do drugs!

Me: Oh dang, is that what they said when you asked them? :)

I could recognize her by touch alone, by smell; I would know her blind, by the way her breaths came and her feet struck the earth. I would know her in death, at the end of the world.

Is it bad that I feel slightly bad that I keep coming to the library to use its quietness and its desk space and its pleasant atmosphere for writing but I never check out books?

ckerouac

Why would you feel bad? You’re using the library for one of its intended purposes. The desks, WiFi, space etc are LITERALLY there for you to do exactly what you’re doing AND each time you go in you add to the foot traffic numbers that prove hey people are coming in to use our stuff mr. government so keep funding us.

surroundedbybooks

Confirmed by another public librarian. One of the stats we track is "WiFi usages"

That is, we track number of sessions/devices using it over time.

The library is not about snooping on what you're doing with that WiFi. Libraries respect privacy.

rosefyrefyre

We literally have a door counter at my library. Congratulations, you just added to our statistics.

chaosfrisur

I think it's a bit sad that with more and more public spaces vanishing, people are feeling bad about not "buying" stuff to "earn" their time at a library.

A library is like a park, you're allowed to just. Exist in it.

I check out books every 4 weeks, when the learning period from my current books is up, but I go much more frequently with my kid to just sit there and read to them, and that's okay. In my school days, we'd go and do our research for presentations there, just reading, never checking out.

A library is a space to just exist.

foxofninetales

So a year or so ago, we added some new desklets at our library, in areas where we noticed that people gravitated to but didn't have the right furnishing to use them in the way they wanted to.

The first few weeks of having the new furniture were absolutely filled with excited librarians whispering to each other, "Look! Someone's using the desklet in the back corner!" and "casually" walking by to enjoy the sight like wildlife researchers who had successfully baited a particularly elusive rare bird. Nobody cared if those people checked anything out or not. There was a need! We saw the need! We filled the need! Hooray!

WE PUT THE THING THERE TO BE USED. USE THE THING.

And you literally pay for the thing! You pay taxes! I’m sure they would want you there regardless and I understand you feel like you have to pay for rent but you very much did already pay for it, that was a thing that happened!

king

u know that thing where an animals grow in a far off place and some idiot introduces him to a new habitat and it turns out its characteristics that help them in their own sometimes are too helpful in the new one and they become like an invasive species yeah thats the word i was missing anyway back to my point i think i saw a human version of that just now i was driving in tonights snow storm and i saw a man wearing a big ass cowboy hat to keep the snow off him and a bandit red bandana to keep it off his face and a big ass pancho to keep him warm and nice ass cowboy boots to keep his calves dry and he was prancing along while everyone on the road looked miserable and frozen solid and idk i guess the point im trying to make here is i feel like cowboys would have taken over russia if given the chance or something

this is like in the wizard of oz books when Dorothy realizes that every animal-- even animals from the regular world-- can talk when they're in Oz. so she's like, "Toto, look, I just want to know if you can talk. Why don't you talk?? You should be able to talk here, do you want to talk??" and Toto just says "no" and never talks again. all like fifteen books he can talk and chooses not to except to let Dorothy know that he can talk, and simply doesn't want to. iconic
