I might yell about fandom, libraries, or life Shenanniganary encouraged ┐(´ー｀)┌

I am so OVER libraries having "innovative furniture"

give me a basic ass table and chair please and thank you

everything else hurts and it sucks

top 5 horror movies

-having a job

-not having a job

-applying for jobs

-the job market

-the concept of working my whole life

[tori-bee]

not being paid adequately for my job

[tori-bee]

I am BEGGING you to back up all your photos and important information that is digital

"oh it's saved in my-"

NOPE. NOT SAFE.

BACK IT UP ON AN EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE.

AND CHECK ON IT PERIODICALLY (this is the most important part)

[tori-bee]

d'you think if I scream about books enough on tumblr I'll get isakai-ed into a universe where I can be a travelling librarian or somthing?

cuz I'd love to be a lil guy who follows the like...MC or something with various amounts of knowledge that either is wildly inaccurate or pertains to the situation so specifically they wonder if I'm a fae or some shit

is that too much to ask?

[the-real-list-of-ominous-threats]

This email has already found you. You had better hope I don’t find you next.

[tori-bee]

this email can't find me if I hide under my blankie, now can it?

[tori-bee]

if you haven't signed up for summer reading at your local library

DO IT

(affectionate threat <3)

[tori-bee]

*to the tune of the hokey pokey*

you put your book returns in, I take your book returns out

we get more book returns in, and we put them all about

if you return your books then others can enjoy them too

that's what it's all about! *clap clap*

*jazz hands*

[tori-bee]

the way people don't realize how much WORK goes into maintaining galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMS)

like, i wish it paid more

we could get so much more done

[vacuously-true]

Hey tumblr friends, in case I haven't told you lately, I have no idea what the FUCK half of you are on about and I WISH I didn't know what the rest of you are on about. Great work. Keep it up.

one of these days imma snap and the marbles will scatter down the stairs like a chaos slinky

[tori-bee]

me: oh! a piece of dust is on my glasses. hold on, lemme just... *blows on it*

the dust was then revealed to be a drop of hot chocolate. i don't know how it got there.

[tori-bee]

I hate that in order to have *valuable* experience with specific tools in the library field you have to have a paid subscription (even as a student)

no wonder no one knows how to use shit; we can't even TRY

[tori-bee]

I absolutely HATE having to kick people out of study rooms

I also absolutely love that our study rooms have a reservation system, so I have proof I'm where I need to be

Anyway, good luck on finals

[tori-bee]

"technology is the future"

you're so right my dude but have you considered that you don't need to charge a book?

[ohgodthebrainworms]

tag people you'd like to catch up with/get to know better!! i was tagged by @ted-imgoingmad who is doing god's (or someone's) work in the River/Duffy tag

Currently reading: Mere by Danielle Giles - I'm only about four chapters in but enjoying it so far. Also getting into the Roy/Jamie tag for Ted Lasso fic

Last series: recently finished season 1 of The Terror, which felt like a little bit a grind for a while but made up for it with an incredible finale

Last movie: I don't watch that many movies, so the last one was probably Frankenstein (the recent one)

Last song: Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups, who I will be seeing in Melbourne in July!

Sweet or salty: Yes please, but salty if it's one or the other

Tea or coffee: Coffee, but tea is also good

Currently working on: My Slow Horses Big Bang fic, which I think is finally coming together after weeks of being a pain in the arse. Normally my longfics have a first half which is all about getting the characters out of whatever situation canon has put them in. This one canon-diverges before the start of the show, so that isn't an issue, and it turns out I struggle with being able to do whatever I want.

Tagging with no pressure: @em-grantaire, @no-way-0ut, @exitdose, @soldhissoulforrocknroll

[exitdose]

Oooh lovely thanks pal !!

Currently Reading: A variety of textbooks on filmmaking, sensory ethnography, Christian documentary and cinematography (bc I am writing my dissertation report)

Last Series: Been rewatching Spooks while I do things in the house. It’s so nostalgic to me but also everything happening in it is sooo stressful so I’m getting like, waves of dread about their operations as I’m hoovering

Last Movie: 2012 Irish comedy horror Grabbers - I love it sm!!

Last Song: The Wrote & The Writ - Johnny Flynn <3

Sweet or Salty: Salty. More salt more

Tea or Coffee: Definitely tea. Coffee makes me feel like like I’ve been hit by a truck

Currently Working on: As above: my dissertation report. Gotta write 3000 more words in the next 48ish hours it feels like a punishment from Ancient Greece
