Ginny died today, two months shy of her 19th birthday. I knew it was coming, and spent the past few days spoiling her extra (even if I didn't want to believe it). this morning, I knew it was time, so I called the vet and made an appointment for tonight. (1/2)

Also. people who love the Oxford Comma more than some family members.

Who's the audience for a paper dictionary these days? (Serious question.)

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

genuine question-- i've always loved how splatoon is (generally) VERY welcoming of the lgbtqia+ community, but has anyone ever looked into WHY the splatoon population tends to skew/attract this community more than a lot of other comp scenes?

Day 2!
This time on queer identity within the Splatoon community
By far one of the more staggering findings from it for me personally. We are curious to see how this compares to other communities.

today I got my own debit card for the library and got to do one of my favorite hobbies (shopping for craft supplies at Michaels) while on company time AND spending money that's not my own! I really do have my dream job.

I've lived by and worked in fine fee libraries for so long that I forget other places still charge late fees. it's an antiquated policy that restricts the most vulnerable from accessing things they need, and it severely limits circulation stats. more libraries should be fine free!
In the first year under the new policy, the library system recorded 15,334 new library card registrations and checkouts increased 36%,
This N.J. library system eliminated late fees. The idea was one for the books.

I finally cleaned my vanity, which I'd been putting off cleaning for way too long, and broke a wine glass in the process. That'll teach me to never clean again.

stopped by my old library yesterday to see former coworkers, and got an idea for my new library that I'm VERY excited to work on, so now I can't wait to go in tomorrow. I guess that's a good sign that I love my job, that I'm impatient to go back to work after the weekend...

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.
This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at sheryl@weikallaw.com if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

ICE has just ramped up its presence in the BOSTON area.
If you see something -- a raid, cars with masked agents, etc. -- call LUCE right away and record everything you can.

overheard a couple talking at Michaels today
girlfriend: "oh, you're back soon."
boyfriend: "yeah, I didn't go to target because I didn't think you'd take this long."
dude, if you don't expect your girlfriend to take a while in Michaels, maybe you don't know her...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Authors say readers are exploiting Amazon's seven-day return policy by using Amazon like a library and returning books after reading them.
