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.

Hey, so I've gotten an influx of new folks lately and figured I'd re-share my boundaries for those who didn't know or need the reminder (because some of you need it).
DO NOT...
- DM me asking about being trans
- Speculate about my life
- Send me unsolicited advice about my content.
