The Library Faery

@libraryfaery.bsky.social

Library cryptid disguised as a Director. historian, textile artist, craft dabbler. Go read a book - you really need to do so. Read a lot of books - learn something outside of your confirmation bias. The crows demand it. And go outside.

Ciri, our Child Suprise chicken who adopted us last October, has gifted us with a child surprise of her own. We didn't even know she had an egg, she's been broody so long. That's a Leghorn baby; apparently when she was out of her box, a Leggie laid up there. Now, how to keep them safe is next.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Mayor Mamdani holds up bananas with a 30% off sticker on them. Shelves of produce and canned goods, all with 30% off stickers on them. New Yorkers clap at the press conference announcing the 30% discount for municipal grocery stores.

Book du Jour: There's romance, it's semi spicy (you can have a love story without sex you know) but the writing, the characters make up for that, for those of us who prefer the story line. Anything more I say would just spoil it, but I read a lot of it out loud to spouse - that good. #booksky 📕💙

Magic and Mischief at the Wayside Hotel by Elizabeth Everett

Shows a city street of buildings, with a kind of Victorian looking house set at the end of the street, an evening shot..  Does not look as the book describes, since the Hotel is at least 7 stories tall, but I appreciate the effort.

And currently, there's ONE leftover in my fridge, which my husband will eat for lunch today - unless you consider the hardboiled eggs I made last week for myself and the dogs to be leftovers - and they will go for my lunch. And one waste- some of that toxic salad mix I won't compost.

"Only 48%"- you mean basically half. "Most Americans, up to 33%"- so 1/3 of people. "63% of people do it" - so 2/3rds. These examples are use of how stats are being used to condemn an event common to most families - parents shopping with their children. And how if you are not simultaneously

Book I just started, and it appears to be good; the first page catcher for me: "Pax Nomen would rather eat dragon shit than run a meeting, but he did have a sense for danger and this crowd was already bubbling with tension and Magic." Magic and Mischief At the Wayside Hotel - Elisabeth Everett 📕💙

Microscale world - I am frustrated that I cannot work outside, the sun and antibiotics. I cannot move about the things I need to move, inside and out - antibiotics and the possibility of tendon damage due to them. Arg.
