It’s not a question of stamina… it’s stupidity.

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

Are you interested in a former library worker who left a job that was originally a life’s goal due to horrible management and to preserve my own mental health? 😐

If Trump attacking Bruce and Taylor on the same day leads to a collab it will all be worth it

Of course! Parents of older kids have been through more and know more.

Well then fund English language learning classes and don’t make people afraid to attend them due to ICE being allowed into school settings. 😑

3 young women from 1912, not smiling

Yes, people were absolutely thrilled with their lives in 1912. From a labelled photo I found in an antique shop yesterday and will attempt to get back to family. #guildedage

My spouse (who survives just fine on the autism spectrum) completed, filed AND paid our taxes the other day. My brilliant, quirky kid (also on the spectrum) has definitely not destroyed our family. Do better, #HHS. 😑😑 #rfkjr

Thank you, Brad! ❀️ (And thank you to Julie W. for sharing it with me this morning.) bradmontague.substack.com/p/librarians... #TLSky #Skybrarian

I’m afraid that if I keep looking at the news it’s going kill me but I'm afraid that if I stop looking at the news I’m going to die.

The horribleness wouldn’t be so horrible if it weren’t so stupid. And the stupidity wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t so horrible. It’s the marriage of the horrible and the stupidity that’s too much.

Was 1974 slang different enough that this name wouldn’t produce giggles? Or do I just have a dirty mind? #slang #history #hehe

Happy Thanksgiving from the bathroom at my parents’ house. 6 plush turkeys round out the decor! Whatever floats your boat, eh?

Livin’ large today- the antibiotics for my pneumonia will also help tamp down the pain from the dying tooth. Extra bonus! Still a month out from extraction due to overbooked oral surgeons. Grateful for modern meds anyway. #blah

Oooh! Pre-social media, I lived in a small town with a plumbing store downtown. They had a patriotic window display, with flags sprouting from toilets, etc. I took a photo and got good mileage sending hard copies to friends as quirky local color. πŸ€”πŸ˜‚

Women have been terrified of pregnancy…. Probably from the beginning of time. Even if the baby was very wanted, there was a very real chance of dying in childbirth or shortly afterwards before the advent of antibiotics and other meds.

Oh, if only. Worked in a library. Encountered all sorts.

How does one become uninformed, like are there classes I can take?
