Things People Ask Librarians

Questions asked at the reference desk. Some are funny, some are angry and some just simply tickle me. And also, probably a lot, things I really want to say.

This is such classist, privileged bullshit.

Golfing is not an essential activity, and golfers are every bit as likely to get and/or spread the coronavirus as anyone else.

“We got the polio vaccine for free and nobody asked how we would pay for it, because what they saw were children in iron lungs who were going to be damaged forever. How insane and cruel is it to suggest that we have to figure out how to pay for it when we can actually go to war and not ask one question. But to prevent this kind of disease, we have to say how can we pay for it.” 

-Deborah Berger, President of National Nurses

[extraterrestrialsprobably]

Awesome! Hope you’re happy somewhere, Chicken Nugget!

[magical-game]

I have missed this post so much! Let’s all celebrate Chicken Nugget!

[frivolousphantasies]

do you guys realize that,,,, chicken nugget is one of those butterflies that is perfectly half female and half male?? nugget’s left wing is typical of a female spice bush swallowtail and the right wing is typical of a male

a gender role smashing icon

[krystal-prisms]

I wondered why the wings looked different

[decorativeskull]

Incredible

[babygoose-deactivated20240106]

intersex icon

[oddity-txt]

He’s a bilateral gnandromorph!!

[sleepy-sphinx-deactivated202012]

WE STAN?????

[matthew-gubler-fangirl]

chicken nugget said intersex rights

[cowboybaedling]

This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people don’t realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

Trump Has an 'Enemies List That Is Growing by the Day' and Wants to Criminally Investigate John Bolton: Report

‘Payback Time’ President Donald Trump is out for “revenge,” and “has an enemies list that is growing by the day,” according to a report by Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, quoting GOP sources. “Republicans briefed on Trump’s thinking believe that the president is out for revenge against his adversaries.

David Badash at NCRM: 

President Donald Trump is out for “revenge,” and “has an enemies list that is growing by the day,” according to a report by Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, quoting GOP sources.

“Republicans briefed on Trump’s thinking believe that the president is out for revenge against his adversaries. ‘It’s payback time,’ a prominent Republican told Sherman.

“Trump’s playbook is simple: go after people who crossed him during impeachment,” Sherman says, citing another GOP source.

Among Trump’s targets are his former National Security Advisor John Bolton, top Democratic House chairmen Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, and Republican U.S. Senator Mitt Romney.
