Just a dude, a Dad, a library technician.
I build model airplanes, do karate, try to write fiction.
But mainly the Dad thing.

If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

My kid was playing Halloween songs on my phone as I drove to school, so I asked her to put on Bloodletting, the coolest Halloween song ever.
Of course this meant I listened to Concrete Blonde on the way to work, and there are worse ways to spend ten minutes.

I pulled an all-nighter and wrote a Theatre History essay on the film True Romance as Senecan revenge tragedy. Got an A.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

As I type on my updated iOS 26 iPhone I think of a guy who came to my last library asking for help with a 1st Gen iPod Touch.
He refused to update it because he liked how it looked, its screen full of pre-Jony Ives icons. and he knew what all the stuff was.
Of course it didn’t work worth a damn.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Tonight I finished Lessons in Magic and Disaster, by @charliejane.bsky.social ,complete with emotions in the break room.
I saw the Possession comparisons, but Possession was a slow burn that took me 3 damned months to read and this is a roller coaster ride through someone’s heart.
Go on the ride.

Someone on a local Buy Nothing group is looking for “vintage 2000s stuff” for a 2000s party, and I’m just going to crumble into a dessicated pile in the corner now.

No one is stopping Sean Feucht from hosting his shows in Canada, despite his criminal record.
He has no Charter right to have his shows hosted at public facilities, which must be safe and discrimination free spaces that uphold community standards.
Don’t believe the martyrdom.
