The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

A four photo grid. Top left is a selfie of Violet in front of a fountain, a big LA Times Festival Of Books sign is above the fountain.

The LA Times Festival Of Books was so much fun! I’m very tired from the sun, but what a treat!

I’m so glad we’re friends 😂😂😂

I was thinking of the definition where you blow air on the baby’s face… but your method could work just as well.

Need me a baddie who will activate my mammalian dive reflex when I’m anxious ya know?

Im nonbinary that means I can kill whoever I want

“So you’re going to spend the day working @ a book fair, then get us pizza for dinner… okay 8 year old Violet, congratulations. You wanna watch some cartoons or anime with dinner, congrats 8 year old Violet. Snuggle ur plushies while playing some PlayStation, congrats 8 year old Violet.” - my spouse

If I said "Wizard Magazine ass Street Fighter movie" would you know what I meant?

Violet in a purple tee, resting leaned against the wall outside a building, it’s a little overcast but perfect. She’s grinning to be happy and outside.

A similar photo of Violet outside against the wall, but now she’s holding her ereader in hand.

It’s too nice out to take a break inside, so I’m out here in the quiet, reading and taking selfies like a cutie

A screenshot of an Instagram DM exchange in which a person is offering Violet a bunch of photos of a plastic cream colored Mr Peanut shaped cup along with messages about the condition and price.

My favorite vintage seller knows me well enough to offer me a Mr Peanut cup before listing it, to be seen is to be loved and all that.

Violet taking a cute selfie, eyes looking up to the side as leans her head to the right. Shes pinning a phone receiver between her right ear and right shoulder.

Hi it’s me, the library worker spending so much time in Meets and phone calls to help plan all of the library’s pride month outreach events and a trans comic day in August… I am so grateful for large quantities of black cold brew.

A photo of a black and white tuxedo cat, sleeping in the classic cat shrimp position. One of his paws is sticking out and holding on to violets left hand fingers.

I would like to be done with work and back home with my cat, letting him hold my hand please and thank you.

certainly this is the first time an imperious madman has tried to fight the Roman Church

A DCI membership card for Violet.

Feeling my bones turn to dust as I find my old Wizards Of The Coast DCI card from my teen years… 👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻

Violet looking cute in a gray top, it has an all-over illustrated pattern of Miyazaki soot sprites. She has a black pinafore on over it. Big black and white spotted heart shaped earrings dangle from her ears, they sort of match her heart-shaped glasses.

A close up look at Violet’s subtle dark pink eyeshadow, Big black and white spotted heart shaped earrings dangling from her ears, and her heart-shaped glasses.

Violet smiling and blushing as she leans into camera, feeling so cute.

Little subtle makeup, a cute top & pinafore, and some fun earrings… aka brunch looks.

Omg?! There’s character designs?! This looks amazing.

A mirror selfie of Violet in a heather gray tee, holding up a peace sign with her right hand. She has heart-shaped glasses and earrings that are jester themed teddy bears.

The library worker people think they’re emailing for author events VS how I feel replying to their emails.

What do you think of Dental Puppets

I know I know I know… it’s just life and I chose to live it, but like… does it ever stop feeling awkward when you have to email rarely spoken to contacts at work and hope to god they don’t ask questions about your name, pronouns, and whole… vibe… being different than last time.

I like how wikipedia uses the infobox for cars here

Yesterday my pal had to explain to a patron that if you need magazines for a collage craft in your classroom, you can ask us at the desk and we’ll give you some withdrawn ones… instead of just ripping out pages you think look interesting from the current issues

Is the gyre widening and the ceremony of innocence being drowned in the blood-dimmed tide, or do I just need another nap?

Being pulled out from a trans comic day programing meeting to do a quick meet with an author over a free comic day program. Why yes I am the cool library worker of my dreams.
