I love: books, libraries, cats, spooky things. I hate: making profiles.
Pillsbury no longer makes cinnamon rolls. They make lies in the form of dry cinnamon biscuits. Yes I know, I should just make homemade, but I rarely have that many 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄.

⚠️ The White House budget proposal would fully eliminate IMLS—the only federal agency for library services—in FY2026. This would gut access to information and opportunity, especially in rural areas.
We can’t let this stand.

The doctor’s office now asks all patients if they need a “medical chaperone” for their visit, in case you feel unsafe with the medical professionals. I was told it was new policy, at least for all Wellstar facilities.

Georgia residents:
Say no to SB74!

Contact your House representatives to tell them to vote no to this harmful bill that will punish librarians and patrons alike.

To everyone who said not to worry, they’re only coming for “___”, eff you then and eff you now.
The bottom 5 states are a highlight reel of why they want to ban books and close libraries. They benefit from low literacy and engagement rates in Republican states.

Georgia has introduced SB74 to allow criminalizing librarians for content.
With fewer libraries and low literacy rates, GA ranks at bottom of U.S. in reading engagement
Georgia ranks out of the worst 5 states in the U.S. in reading engagement based on a recent study. Here's why.

Do you need a good, creepy haunted house book to take your mind off *gestures at everything*? Yes, you do.
GUESS WHAT’s on sale for half off at Amazon? How’s about a very haunted house story that’s actually about TWO haunted houses! Perhaps, say… this one! That I wrote!

A “hoax.”

I have experienced a curious mix of feelings while having a significant portion of my life’s work in books and the art of my friends distorted and vandalized by post-literate fascists for the last few years. The feelings right now are uniquely awful.

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

A memory that happened during my 1st marriage sticks in my mind. We weee with my then in-laws, and the BiL and SiL had many times proudly told us they didn’t censor what their kids watched on tv. One day when we were over, the unedited Revenge of the Nerds movie came on, and I was uncomfortable 1/

All this migration from the meta apps and the propaganda closing of TikTok just makes me miss Livejournal more. We no longer live in a world that can support that model of social media, but wow it was great in its prime. I still have the friends I made there.

Every day in December, we watch a holiday movie. We try to start with a new one, which led us to Netflix’s “Our Little Secret,” a romcom starring Lindsay Lohan, set in my home state of Georgia. Silly tropes aside, my big gripe is the writers should have consulted an actual native of the state.1/
