Got a wild weekend planned?

[robotpancreasattack]

I made a dozen Roses for my sister for Valentine’s Day

[robotpancreasattack]

This year’s book tree is up!

[robotpancreasattack]

I call this “Destruction of a Dream”. The dismantling of my Mandalorian diorama.

[robotpancreasattack]

This year’s pumpkin has Schitt’s Creek vibes.

When your boss says “we should do something to celebrate Mandalorian Season 2 coming out soon! And you say “wouldn’t it be cool to make giant dioramas?!” And then you make the dioramas.

I'll never understand why in library apps, where all there is is data and no physical copy, there's a wait list for the books.

[wakingfromthewater]

It's because your library needs to pay for an ebook, whichever can only be used by one user at a time. Publishers have begun to limit the number of copies of an ebook (or audio book) a library can own and how many times they can be checked out, too.

Taking this opportunity to signal boost the ALA (American Library Association) petition to Macmillan Publishers, who are restricting library access to ebooks even more.

https://ebooksforall.org/

They have limited libraries of all sizes to one ebook for the first 8 weeks of a book’s release. It’s awful and profit-grabbing and limits access to people who rely on libraries for content they need or want. Please sign!

[diebrarian]

And since many libraries offer access to ebooks as part of a consortium or wider system (some as large as an entire state, in my case!), this means that an entire library system can be limited to one copy.

please sign.

WHEN THE LAST OF AN OUTDATED FORMAT HAS FINALLY BEEN WEEDED

But somehow an audiobook on cassette is randomly found on a shelf somewhere every once in a while...

The creation of Audrey II. 3D printed the pod and stem on our MakerBot at the library, painted with craft paint and assembled with hot glue.
