Does anyone have examples of libraries—public of any sort—that has implemented four day work weeks and/or flexible remote scheduling in the last few years?

bsky moderation has always been dogshit, but I'm glad everyone is finally being vocal about it, well, more vocal than usual now that it's impacted celebrities.

always fascinated by idea that i am not being sincere or that my tinglers are a joke or that this is a 'bit'. on one hand i get it because my art is BY DEFINITION unusual, but i just think WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE? what would me being 'fake' even mean? imagine writing 400 books over 10 years for a 'bit'

If you think gAI is okay then I think your brain is broken and your opinion on worldly matters is irrelevant. You deserve the derision.

Honestly tho? Probably a lot of Presidents have been pedophiles.

My solution? No more presidents.

I think this only highlights that I have always been insufferable.
I have a distinct memory of counting to 100 to get into the kindergarten class I was in (parochial school).

I don't know if it was required, but I'm sure I did it.

I simply want people to care and understand the words they use. This is not a big ask and I will not be compromising.

like, you don't have to murder people, just maim them so they can't keep fucking things up.

Imagine if all the time, effort, and energy that went into gaslighting people into thinking that voting in federal elections was at all a reasonable way of governance.

Imagine if they tried something that worked.

Every president is a war criminal because every war is a crime.

Yeah, even WWII. Yeah, even that other one you're think of.

Terry Goodkind was never a fantastic author, but I did like his world building, even if I constantly disagreed with his reasoning, but my god, the latter books are so tedious. It's not world building anymore, it's people with TBI trying to understand each other.

You can do political violence and also not commit murder.

A lot can be said for a blow to the head.

If any dems want to remove themselves from the census, well, I believe in bodily autonomy.

Anywho, give them all the old Richard Spencer.

I don't know that I believe in cognitive dissonance anymore, I think it's far more likely we are all just full of shit.

There is nothing wrong with taking one's own life, there is everything wrong with goading and sheparding others to make that decision.

it's not representational when no one represents you.
