I'm on my local library board - ymmv, but our library sets the limit at 5 borrows per person per month bc the library pays for every single borrow. Our library is small and Hoopla is relatively expensive for us (but a great service for patrons!).

Yeah I know, it's all very depressing 😬

All of this to say - if we're going to toss up our hands and do nothing about climate change, we should be investing in better weather technology so cities can handle extreme events that they aren't used to seeing.

In Iowa, the meteorologists would have tracked this shit at the block level. They would have been saying, "Oak and Divis, this storm will be on you in three minutes. Sutter and Stockton, you have five minutes."

Like, my inner Iowan is enraged that I couldn't pull up a clear high-res radar or any real info about rotation location.

Even more enraged that the TV newscaster just said "there's a tornado warning in SF, and up in the North Bay the rain is clearing out" like those were equivalent things.

If there were a miracle that guaranteed amazing fresh-baked gluten free bread, I would convert to worshipping that miracle-providing religion/machine/chef/other entity immediately.

Looking forward to adding another mug to this collection next year 👀

Yessssss! I'm not at all sorry to have lured you into this addiction.

I got homeless and murder, which does...not seem auspicious in the slightest.

I may be the only sometimes-digital-nomad who ends up with a backpack full of mugs, but #noregrets

Hiiiiii! Hope you're doing well despite... *gestures at everything*

How many writers are haunted (good or bad) by the worlds of their early efforts?

Also goes great with an iron lung!
