Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

I still like the term parental unit that we used to use as a joke in middle school and high school. Did everyone else do that or was it just a my social circles thing?

Anyways telling the kids to go collect their parental units at the end of an event is a) funny b) gender neutral and c) just refers to the person currently doing your parenting

Also if you’re on joking terms with your parents “greetings, child” “greetings, parental unit” is a top tier greeting. Makes you sound like robot aliens.

This is the best ad for Project Hail Mary I have ever seen. Like if I was on the fence about watching or reading it, this would convince me to do so.

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

So funny story actually. One of my friends was hooking up with this girl, they were friends with benefits. She needed a date for some work party so he agreed to go with her. Turns out her dad owns like 3 dental practices and she worked as the business manager for one of them.

Anyway my friend had some not so nice teeth and during dinner the father of his fwb was like “you work where you work, you sleep with him and his teeth look like that? Get him an appointment.”and then bounced. So his fwb made him an appointment at the practice she managed and my friend ended up needing like 3k worth of dental work and his friend with benefits just gave it to him for free.

So that is the story of how my friend not only got sex, but dental out of the friends with benefits deal.

They semi-cancelled Timothee Chalamet for simply saying he found opera and ballet boring, by the way.

How does Hollywood work these days?

Being a bit of a naive, foolish young man and (wrongfully) calling opera and ballet irrelevant?

“You must apologise immediately! No Oscar for you.”

Acknowledging you stole terrified teenage girls from their bedrooms?

“Eh, you get a pass.”

[mysharona1987]

Kidnapping teenage girls seems kind of worse than being stupid and uncultured, in the grand scheme of things.

”Well, Tim is dating a Kardashian sister.”

Embarrassing as it is, this other man admitted to war crimes.

I think people forget that Kara was executed for attempted murder, not magic. Even if she hadn’t had magic she would’ve been executed. Bc she tried to kill the king.

Also, Arthur gave her an opportunity to talk reasonably and she straight up refused. She stuck to her guns and had to deal with the consequences.

[frogmerthur]

i have to push back on this pretty firmly. kara was someone who had already lived through the consequences of uther’s genocide of her people. she had every reason to believe, correctly, that camelot’s laws and camelot’s king represented an existential threat to her and everyone like her. calling her attempt to kill arthur “attempted murder” as if it exists in some neutral legal vacuum erases the actual context. she wasnt a random assailant. she was someone who had been failed and terrorised by the crown her entire life trying to stop the person who represented the continuation of that terror.

and the framing that “arthur gave her an opportunity to talk reasonably and she refused” puts the burden of reasonableness entirely on the person being oppressed. why would she owe arthur a calm conversation. why is the expectation that the victim of systemic violence has to negotiate politely with the system before resisting it. thats not a neutral standard, thats asking her to bend her knee to the exact structure that killed her people and calling her stubborn for refusing.

she didnt “stick to her guns” in some abstract principled stubbornness. she made a choice grounded in the very reasonable belief that arthur, despite individual moments of growth, still represented and enforced a violent system. and these double standards with kara are GLARING. merlin kills people constantly throughout this show. he kills to protect arthur, in service of the same crown that murders magic users, and yet most of the fandom celebrates this. nobody calls merlin a murderer who needs to be executed for his crimes. nobody says he should have just talked it out reasonably. if kara had been a man, this would be framed as heroic resistance against tyranny. but shes a woman, and a woman who refuses to perform graciousness toward her oppressors doesnt get the same narrative mercy, does she :) kara’s act of resistance against the actual architecture of her own people’s genocide is just something she has to deal with the consequences of, right?

and this isnt a hypothetical pattern, it shows up constantly with how real resistance gets talked about too. people who fight back against colonisation, against apartheid, against genocide, get held to this exact same impossible standard after the fact. why didnt they just negotiate?why didn’t they try the reasonable channels first?? why did they have to resort to violence??? the people asking these questions are rarely asking them about the violence of the oppressor, only the violence of the resistance. its a very old rhetorical move and its not neutral, its a tool for delegitimising people who fought back against something that was already killing them.

if the logic is “she had other options, she should have stayed calm, she brought this on herself by refusing to be reasonable with the person enforcing the system that killed her people” - do you say the same about anticolonial resistance movements or enslaved people who fought back against their captors instead of waiting patiently for the system to reform itself. surely you’re consistent about this and its not just convenient when the person resisting happens to be a woman who refused to perform gratitude toward her own oppressor . right

[wasteofacespace]

Im so glad someone said this because I’m so sick and tired of the hate towards Kara. In my opinion she’s one of the bravest characters and most realistic representation of what a freedom fighter is like. More than even Morgana is. And she deserves to be given the praise accordingly.
