Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

So, in Korean, we have a lot of words for feeling embarrassed 🙃
🐰 said he’s feeling 민망해 implying that he may feel like it’s not socially sanctioned for a man his age to get emotional like this (1/3)

Dear Moon⁷ 🌛

“The moon does not fight.
It attacks no one.
It does not worry.
It does not try to crush others.
It keeps to its course, but by its very nature,
it gently influences ..”

- Deng Ming-Dao

I read this and thought of our Jin, who will forever be our cherished moon. 🌕💜🥰✨ #Jin #BTS

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my week— it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted “I am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.

My feed today on BlueSky included a post from Icelandic writer Hildur Knútsdóttir, who saw the original exchange on a Reykjavik Facebook page - someone posted to say that it appeared a cygnet was frozen to the ice and dying. As people worried online about how or whether it would be possible to help, naturalist Kerstin Langerberger replied to the post, saying: “I am on my way with the necessary equipment.” Langenberger brought a friend, some thermoses of warm water, and a surfboard in case the ice failed - the necessary equipment - and thawed then freed the baby swan, which promptly flew off.

There are a number of things I appreciate about this story, but it’s Langenberger’s statement that resonates for me. That is what I aspire to, to see injury or difficulty or something gone to trouble and decide: I am on my way with the necessary equipment. But also, to hold on to the understanding that sometimes the necessary equipment is the resolve to try and a friend who will help, and that sometimes I *am* the necessary equipment - the friend who shows up to make myself useful under the direction of an expert.

There are a lot of moments these days that I find it very, very hard to do the next thing, or indeed to do anything. The world is so, so difficult. I often feel useless or overwhelmed or exhausted or just really fucking sad. But I am going to try starting the days by saying, with all the starch that I imagine a naturalist willing to chance the ice in darkness to save a baby bird might possess:

I am on my way with the necessary equipment.

@ladynuala.bsky.social

This is incredibly relevant to us - once the BTS member impersonators arrive here, I hope it will be easier for us to report them here than on the other socials. I reckon it's an inevitability that they will come, so this is good knowledge to have.
