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.

Tonight is the #MetGala, celebrating the upcoming opening of the new exhibition "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which was inspired by Monica L. Miller's 2009 book "Slaves to Fashion."

My current read. And I just can’t get enough. @silviamg.bsky.social is a genius, this book is so evocative and lush and downright creepy.

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 💕 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.

“When I say “mall,” you see a place in time, one shopping trip, one amazing afternoon.”

“Having a librarian in a library is good.”

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