I'm going to start a thread to try to keep track of stuff I watched, read, listened to, or whatever through the year.
I have such a terrible memory and feel like I forget things as soon as I'm finished watching, so I think this will be interesting to look back on.

The library has books about almost any craft you want to try, and you can pretty much check out as many as you can handle. It’s how I learned basically every craft I’ve ever gotten serious about, and they also have related magazines - I’m able to read several weaving magazines through Libby!
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Got a little distracted from work for the last half hour, but it was worth it to read this incredible deep dive oral history of the making of The Emperor’s New Groove
‘We’ll Never Make That Kind of Movie Again’
An oral history of The Emperor’s New Groove, a raucous Disney animated film that almost never happened.

The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

This one really stresses me out.
A friend had her very prem bub in the same NICU as thunder boy. They refused this and everything else 'non-essential'.
Other babies died in that NICU while we were both there. She got lucky and he's okay, but it's sickening to me that she took those risks.

Insanely unfun fact: comorbid with "vaccine hesitancy" is refusal of the at-birth Vitamin K shot. Babies used to just bleed out from their brains sometimes! We have a solution for that! And people are just going nah!
Yes.
Staph infections were fatal so often that we distinguished them by what part of the body they attacked first. "Childbed fever" is a term for a variety of post-birth complications that killed a lot of women. There are reasons wet nurses used to be so common. (And they're not all class-based.)

I fully support the healthcare workers strike today but we really need to get some bloods done for thunder boy and apparently all of pathology at the one place we can get it done are on strike today.
I really wish they'd allowed for a skeleton staff for complex kids who can't go somewhere else.

Also, I know that often the lack of care in the community contributes to these violent men committing crimes. But it's so frustrating that he can get better psych care in jail than the people he tried to murder.
So the terrorist is sad that people will know his name? And it might be awkward for his family?

I totally agree with this. I was really resistant for years thinking it wouldn't be the same. But it has drastically changed how I can pay attention and enjoy books.
Honestly now reading textbooks and papers for uni cooks my eyes & brain as is. Without audio books I wouldn't read for fun at all.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.
In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.
I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.
