Gay diabetic librarian who reads a lot, hangs out with his dog, works on his vinyl collection and occasionally plays rpg games. Humble brag - am the 2025 president of the Ontario Library Association. Ask me what I’m reading, I’m always up to talk books.

Cover of Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity by Monica L. Miller. The title is in yellow at the top, with a curlicue to its left. The cover features detail from the painting "Yellow Book" by IkΓ© UdΓ©, with a light-skinned Black man in profile, sitting on chaise longue. He is wearing a dapper grey suit, gloves, and a floral boutonniere. The subtitle is written in white across his knees and the author's name is in yellow at the bottom of the cover.

Library use ≆ library advocacy. Yes: visit libraries. Use library resources. Attend programs. And then also: speak up! Defend library workers who are being harmed & criminalized. We πŸ’• your presence. And we need your voices, too.

Because the folks who want to close libraries have also used them.

A month ago, I had never played in a ttrpg before. Now I’m in a regular bi-weekly Monster of the Week campaign, am about to start a D&D campaign, and just got asked if I want to join my husband’s ongoing D&D campaign. When it rains it pours, but I’m not complaining.

Started this today. I’m so deeply invested in this history, mostly because I was a kid of the 80s & 90s and had a very intense relationship with my mall.

β€œWhen I say β€œmall,” you see a place in time, one shopping trip, one amazing afternoon.”

THANK YOU, Abbott Elementary. Thank you, also, for the seemingly simple scene of how beloved it is to hear a book be read aloud πŸ’š
