Live in Denver. Trying to be positive, or at least coherent. I am extremely passionate about pockets, have ADHD, and I'm pretty sure I don't belong here. I occasionally update my blog at spandrella.com.

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

I don't know who needs to hear this (except the 2 of you that I'm subtweeting in the kindest way possible), but reference librarians spend a sizable part of their day helping ppl learn to use computers or find the new Nora Roberts. Don't feel shy about bringing them weird research questions.

Didn’t know this! Do you know how many years I pined for jstor access! Yes I am a giant nerd who pines for academe leave me alone with my papers and books
This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.
regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

I don't know how universal a childhood experience this is, or if it's my brain being neurospicy, but I have a very specific brand of "Movies you saw too early in life," and it is called "watching comedies and entirely missing the fucking point."

A thing about my dad is, you know if he likes the book you got him as a birthday present if he comes up to you 4 months later and starts teaching you all the things that were in the book you got him (that you have also read).

The "oh you won't compromise and abandon [marginalized group]? enjoy the nazi takeover!" argument rings pretty fucking false when you consider that the horrors of a nazi takeover begin with the abandonment of marginalized groups.

I have had a wonderful time at WorldCon and met some great people, but theres always going to be someone who makes you want to beat your head against a desk.
I'm glad I went to WorldCon today because someone just got up to the mic and told George R.R. Martin to his face that he's going to die soon and started to ask whether Brandon Sanderson would finish his books and everyone started to boo.

22. We didn't domesticate dogs. They domesticated themselves. It has been one of the greatest partnerships that any two species have ever seen, and any human who reneges on that twenty-thousand-year-old deal by mistreating dogs sucks.

I work in an off-site storage facility for an academic library, which has archives and also "regular" books that we don't want to weed but don't have the space to keep on campus. I am constantly finding "Holy shit look at this thing, I wish I had the rest of my life to read it" items at work. 1/?

I am grateful for the small things the internet has given us, like the ability to watch a rare flower bloom that most of us would never have the chance to see otherwise. That is kinda cool, right?
