Holy smokes, y’all! This site will let you put in your home library and tell you what and where the reciprocal systems are and if you can get an online card or have to roll up in person! I had found most of them I qualify for already but not all!

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in

Fuck you

so unnecessary
and so annoying

A black masking tape dispenser, similar to a regular tape dispenser, with a cup in the back to hold two sharpie pens.

Must have ADHD kitchen tool! Especially if you have any level of time blindness. If your leftovers or pre-prepped stuff has a piece of tape with the date on it, you don’t have to remember how old it is! And the roller dispenser removes that extra layer of friction. You gotta get one.

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.

Cashier: I'm so curious why you need all this peroxide

Me: Oh, to bleach bones

Cashier: ...

Me: ...deer bones

Cashier, lowering voice to a whisper: Honey, I wouldn't blame you either way

Fellas, I don't think you realize how many women are normalizing the idea of doing what we have to do now.

A dragon perches at the top of a pyramid shaped building in this digital painting of a modern city at night. The colors are gray and gold. The dragon is black lit with warm light. People gather on a rooftop to watch it

"Modern Dragons" launches tomorrow 🐉

Oh wow. Tomorrow is the 10 year anniversary of Prince's death. It doesn't seem like that long. I guess that's tomorrow's soundtrack sorted.

I say this to other educators ALL THE TIME. It wasn't lockdown! Most of our kids never even locked down! They all got freaking brain damage, and we will never know how to teach them if we don't acknowledge that as the starting point.

That’s Gary, he signed up for carpool last week, you gotta check your email more man

That's a good one.

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

My kids asked *multiple* times while watching the moon mission footage of it was “real life” or “is this made up”, which I would have thought was cute (because: MOON) if they didn’t also ask me if that cool tree I showed a picture of was made up. NOTHING they see digitally is real to them

Panel 1) All the books say to not sleep next to you Panel 2) They say to try to get you to sleep in your own bed Panel 3) to teach you independence Panel 4) I remember the books as I lie here next to you Panel 5) on the fold out mattress in your room Panel 6) Next to your bed Where you are not sleeping Panel 7) And at first I think I have failed Panel 8) but then You cuddle up to me Panel 9) And your tiny hand grabs on to my jumper Panel 10) And you smell like play-doh and cotton buds Panel 11) And I think One day you will not want me here next to you Panel 12) One day you will want to sleep at your friends houses To sleep at your girlfriends (or boyfriends) houses To stay out all night Panel 13) You will smell of aftershave and leather and your own life And that will be great Panel 14) You must live your own life, of course you must That is the whole point Panel 15) But for now You smell of play-doh and cotton buds Panel 16) And we are both Exactly where we need to be.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

The thing I am getting from this is that human beings can run a half-marathon in an hour which is fucking amazing, hurrah human beings
