Sitting behind a Tesla with a vanity plate that says ROOMBA and that is… extremely fucking funny to me. Perhaps I am also losing my grip on sanity.

From humble beginnings, my children begin to multiply. I also think the folks who work at the farmstand may be questioning my sanity.

I fear my friend/coworker may have severely underestimated the queer urge to absolutely lay out on Halloween when she asked me to do a coordinated work costume with her. My suggestions were shot down & we’re now doing “the 80s” but y’all she is so unprepared for what’s gonna walk in that door. 😂💄

Does anyone in #libraries have an example of a collection management policy that specifically excludes GenAI? I want to propose it to our board and they find examples convincing.

“à la bibliothèque” means “at the library” in French.
I am French, and also I work at a library.
I started the Xitter account of the same name as an anon account to post on COVID working conditions in mine/other libraries, so “heck” seemed both punny & fitting.

My last name is Noe. My first name is Matthew.
People have made weird jokes about "Noe" (some haha cringe, some rude and bullying) my entire life.
I thought it was an amusing way to reclaim some of that back in 2008. And despite me not loving "Matt" it is pithier 🤷♂️

It's a line from Parks & Rec one of my fave shows. In that show, Leslie has an ongoing cold war with librarians. She calls them punk-ass book jockeys as she overturned a book cart and flees. I'm a librarian who is punk in spirit if not attire, so, yeah.

Lol went to the closest urgent care that lists xrays as a service and got all the way to the doctor part before they told me they don’t have an xray machine anymore and now I have to go somewhere else tomorrow, so anywayyyy blessed Mabon 🙃
Sprained ankle/possible fracture from a fall last wknd, worked over 8hrs of unpaid OT last week, topped off by a patron who yelled at & then reported me (lol) for not telling off a kid who “used profanity” (aka quietly said “stupid” to their Roblox game) in front of her 4yo. Y’all I am so so tired.

We ordered some of the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social “Censorship Is So 1984” stickers
& gave them out at a community event on Saturday. A couple teens came up to the desk this afternoon to ask if I had any more (yep!). As they walked off, I heard them mutter “this is so tuff! 😤”

Just a little guy (and his 4 little friends) I found munchin’ on my kale from the farmstand. He and his buddies were relocated to the bush outside my kitchen window with their own individual pieces of kale for a road snack (this is why I wash my greens 😅🐛)

The dice were not with me on my first full play-thru of Votes for Women, but what an engaging game! Single player vs. Oppobot took me 2-2.5hrs (first time = having to reference the rules book A LOT). I’ll get you next time, patriarchy!!! Thx, @downtowntbrown.bsky.social & @fortcircle.bsky.social 🫶
