Also to be clear I have no condescension in my heart for any of these people!! I love the magic of live theater and people responding to it!! As long as their dang cell phones are off!

Move over, “people gasping when Orpheus turns around in Hadestown.” Make room for “lady behind me at Six who went OHHHH when Anne Boleyn said ‘don’t lose your head.’”

I mean there's a lot to feel bad about GENERALLY and sometimes I feel overwhelmed about my personal inability to solve every world problem but then I remember that ummm no one can do that and it's not a reasonable standard?

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Whenever I get very angry with this current timeline, I donate to a rent fund.

It is very cathartic, I highly recommend you try it.

Keshia Golden is a Chicago mother who would not be alive and raising her young child today had she not acted in defense of herself and her pregnancy. Charging her with murder suggests that she did not have the right to self-defense. bit.ly/FreeKeshia

now is this patron using Microsoft Copilot on a library computer and did they need assistance printing on the library printer earlier this morning? hmm idk I'm sure Microsoft Copilot can help you with that. have fun with Wire Mother, Cloth Mother is gonna go eat candy in the break room

I guess it’s also funny to imagine buying directly from Gatorade dot com. Like that’s a grocery store item. But yeah sure I’m sure some families do regularly need $75+ worth of electrolytes. For sport 💪

Ok I kept scrolling and one of the options is Chewy so I can provide for my family. I’ll have to get my own electrolytes elsewhere.

A screen for redeeming gift cards offering the suggestions of Regal (a movie chain that isn’t local to me), Callaway (idk what that is), GATORADE, and Lands End (ok I could always use more cardigans)

My credit card offered me a $75 bonus to try their shopping rewards app and I was like sure I’ll take $75 thanks. But ofc it’s in gift cards and I’m dying at one of the options being Gatorade. Give me $75 worth of Gatorade pls!! I need electrolytes!!

a patron brought in a VHS of a 9/11 tribute that they'd taped off of TV in 2001 and wanted to use the library's digitization station to, well, digitize it. unfortunately the tape is now stuck in the VCR. fortunately my coworker found the tribute for them on YouTube so 9/11 will not be forgotten.

disrespectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. you don't need an ID at the library. you need a library card, which anyone can get.

Screenshot text exchange where one user sends a photo of Cinnamoroll the Sanrio dog to some who calls it a Labubu. The original poster replies “that is so incorrect” and sends a $25 Apple Cash request labeled “fee for being wrong”. The other person pays the $25 and says “I’m sorry Goddess”

This is inspirational. I am going to start charging people when they tell me Hello Kitty is a human girl.

HELLO, FRIENDS!

The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this.

Hehe you are correct, I have been to the truck. This was years ago so the menu may have changed. It was cute! The pastries were obv overpriced but tasted pretty good. If it’s parked somewhere convenient I don’t NOT recommend it but imo it’s not a MUST

ok I do have to issue a retraction--the article says that Yuko Yamaguchi TOOK OVER for HK in 1980, 5 years after her first appearance--which is correct, it's just in a clause right next to the thing about her being a human not a cat and that made me rage blackout for a second and misread the rest.
