One of two librarians living in Philadelphia with three kids, four cats and many, many books. Now with bonus dog! She/her.
Me: Should I take James (13) to the @tkingfisher.com signing? He loved Wizard's Guide and Minor Mage, but he's not a horror kid.
Ursula Vernon: proceeds to fill the talk with fun facts about how roadrunners are nasty velociraptors and patented caterpillar inflaters, among others. /1

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Michigan - lots of family, wonderful beaches, lovely weather. But the most important part is that James learned how to knit snakes. 🧶

Serotonin boost day 3: thread of the most wonderfully weird animals. Note: potoos and frogmouths appear multiple times, and each time they are magnificent in their Muppetude.
Please, science Bluesky. I am begging. I need to know the most ridiculous looking species.
Please tell me what the weirdest little weirdos on the planet are.
Give me your weirdest animal facts.
My feeble grip on sanity is dependent on you.

In these trying times, we can at least get a little serotonin from the fact that the Oregon Zoo has a new baby elephant.

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

I just got what feels like a gold medal in Making Phonecalls - calls to both my drs office AND the giant evil corporation that manages my prescription benefit. Is everything solved? No, of course not! This is CVS we're talking about! But at least I got a little personal growth in there.

I've been wondering if Gotham City villains won't have to turn to a life of crime now that lab-grown gems are an option. Why steal a ridiculously large rare gem on display for one night at the local museum with highly elaborate yet very flawed security to power your eye-melting ray /1

Whatever happens, try to do the right thing, try to protect people weaker than you, try to stand up to bullies, try to speak truth to power.
