Books are magic all on their own, but a little graveyard dirt couldn't hurt.
Sometimes it feels like I'm such an outsider. Like I'm able to watch "normal" from beyond an invisible barrier, but I'll never be able to participate. 😔

We've named the library ghost Veronica (they/them pronouns). 😊 They are the personified, accumulated stress and despair of all students studying for tests they don't feel prepared for. They (probably immediately) get blamed for everything that goes missing.

Three queer, neurodivergent, spooky obsessed librarians walk into a haunted library. They laugh off the first couple weird situations. Missing items found in strange places, randomly opening elevators, something moving out of the corner of their eyes. The library closes. Then they hear screeching.

So many thanks to the absolutely unhinged person who puts up the, as we call it, Demon Tree each year for Christmas. These photos don't do it justice. It sends out this ominous red glow visible for blocks around. We love you Demon Tree! ❤️

In the theme of things today, find a library and check out 'The Demon Haunted World' by Carl Sagan (book/audio). It is from the 1995 so slightly dated but I wish this was part of highschool science classes because it is really good at basic critical thinking skills

My coworker: I know that nothing ever justifies taking a human life-
Me: Oh no. There are MANY things that could justify it.
My coworker: THANK YOU. God, I hate having to hold myself back for people.
