30-something, they/them, systems librarian, probably human.
Usually on tumblr. Loves indie video games, Speculative Fiction, amigurumi, and dogs.
Buys way too many books.
Librarian: tossup between "Wish *I* got paid to sit there and read all day" (We don't)
And "That must be so quiet and relaxing!" (It mostly isn't)

My bookselling days are a decade ago but: sometimes it's ONE.

Also, use athose milk frother to stir it! You have to be gentle not to make a mess but the end result is so much smoother!
(Also also, if one is of age, a teaspoon of rum is fantastic in hot chocolate and really elevates the packaged kind!)

Ah, King Size pillow! Personally, I love a king size pillow as I tend to yeet mine off the bed in my sleep and it's easier to find a GIANT pillow on the floor in the dark but. This is a problem other people tell me they don't have.

But links are the foundation of the Internet! Without links, the World Wide Web is just the World Wide Really Annoying Filing Cabinet Full of Racism.
C'mon, we used to be A Series of Tubes around here! *mumble mumble*

I met Tom Scott once when he showed up at my workplace to do research and he was just like he is in his videos.
Super nice, very polite.

This is pretty standard in big box retail, actually. It's partly for customer service but it's mostly loss prevention. People are (supposedly) less likely to shoplift if they know an employee has seen and acknowledged them.

🤷‍♂️ I'm in the 'please do not acknowledge me' gang myself.

Oh. Tough! Grunt for sure. Got to have my son.
Coin flip between Garrus and Jack for the second.
Coin says Jack.

I tried *so hard* to use Direct File but it just wouldn't validate my identity.
I was so looking forward to having the bugs worked out so I could actually use it!

My flavor of neurodivergence just refuses to understand sports so if I find myself at a sporting event, I cheer for everyone. They're all doing what seen like impossible feats to me.

This amused my datemate terribly when we went to a Harlem Globetrotters game.

Moth Fairy sounds adorable but I'm intrigued by Mid Wonka 🤔

Thief of Time was the first Discworld book I ever read and it's still one of my favorites!

It occurs to me that my planned switch from a very femme name to a very masc name might change how people respond to my emails. Guess I'll see if I go through with it.

I'll own that its treatment of women has aged less well than the rest of the book but, well, can't win 'em all.

It really, really does. Startlingly prescient. I find myself referring to it quite often.
