Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

Well #OperationMincemeat was certainly quite a show! Fun songs, great actors (who can switch between roles in a beat), and a show that grapples with moral questions without spoonfeeding answers. Great job! @mincemeatlive.bsky.social

Literally just today the bus driver complimented my signalling ("Nice firm clear arm! Some people just wave weakly") and I thought how nice to get a good grade in bus travel

I think making up little guys is good for your mental health, everyone should make up characters and then spend time daydreaming about them

I'm very fond of the library in Baddesley Clinton - it's why Lady Georgiana's quote is my profile header!

First of many I'm hoping...

you think you'll set up a dungeons and dragons game and it will be heroism and tearful story beats but 32 weeks in the group chat is called something like "hagfuckers" or "tits out for lolth" and you're in a blazing row with a player who will only roleplay as an ordinary horse

For me I find best balance is not keeping treats around by default but also never denying myself them when I want them (I just have to walk to the corner shop to get them - which I can't always be bothered to do)

Have you recently finished writing your novel? I'm looking to offer a free(!) developmental edit on one completed manuscript. It would be in return for an honest, detailed review for my website. I'm most interested in fantasy, horror and literary fiction. #amwriting #amediting #writers #editing

Reading Rooms at the British Library are closed *all week* because so many of its workers refuse to work for pitiful wages in a contemptuously authoritarian and obliviously managed environment.
We need leaders who get it and are big enough to sort it out!
It’s a mess and a disgrace.
Lift it up!!

Just ripped my trousers while shelving (phone in my back pocket caught on the shelf behind me while standing up) so I must be a real librarian now, right?
