does anyone still have that photo of SRL playing splatoon on the highway on the way to sns?

update that I'm a month in, it's the hardest fucking thing that I've done in years, and I LOVE it. and I'm finally making friends in the area, to boot!! oh, and I bought actual derby skates.

the google play store started prompting me to "save my gaming streak" with no way to turn it off, and that is immediately when I stopped playing my stupid mobile games (mostly sudoku) sir, I have no fewer than 14 other devices I can play games on, most of which are portable. know your place.

i'm an aunt!! (ciocia) as of 12:52 this morning. her name is felicity 🥰

today I got the less fun amiibo festival for $8 (still sealed)

is anyone else going to pax east? it looks like I'll be there Saturday and Sunday

in MA there are 7 regional library networks, but also a state-wide network called "Commonwealth Catalog" and it gets shortened to "ComCat". so, many libraries have cat stamps to include on the ComCat slips. a few libraries collected them this year to make displays of all the different stamps!

I had Halloween storytime at the library yesterday and if this isn't the most iconic picture of me 🥰

(tw pet death) Ginny died today, two months shy of her 19th birthday. I knew it was coming, and spent the past few days spoiling her extra (even if I didn't want to believe it). this morning, I knew it was time, so I called the vet and made an appointment for tonight. (1/2)

I found a great argument for using the Oxford comma in the wild. (courtesy of bookpage)

now that i don't have to work saturdays anymore (big tournament days), what if i came back to the splatoon comp scene... as a commentator????

People who appreciate the intoxicating euphoria of reading from a real dictionary expertly hand-crafted by diligent human lexicographers. Also. people who love the Oxford Comma more than some family members.

Who's the audience for a paper dictionary these days? (Serious question.)

i finally finished the dress i've been making all summer!

can we go back to the era when, on streaming services, clicking on the title brought you to the info page about the show/movie, instead of immediately playing it? PLEASE.

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

genuine question-- i've always loved how splatoon is (generally) VERY welcoming of the lgbtqia+ community, but has anyone ever looked into WHY the splatoon population tends to skew/attract this community more than a lot of other comp scenes?

#splcensus #compsplatoon #splatoon Day 2! This time on queer identity within the Splatoon community By far one of the more staggering findings from it for me personally. We are curious to see how this compares to other communities. again, chart by the amazing @zapfisk.splstrong.com

today I got my own debit card for the library and got to do one of my favorite hobbies (shopping for craft supplies at Michaels) while on company time AND spending money that's not my own! I really do have my dream job.

I've lived by and worked in fine fee libraries for so long that I forget other places still charge late fees. it's an antiquated policy that restricts the most vulnerable from accessing things they need, and it severely limits circulation stats. more libraries should be fine free!

NJ.com@nj.com · 12mo ago

In the first year under the new policy, the library system recorded 15,334 new library card registrations and checkouts increased 36%,

I finally cleaned my vanity, which I'd been putting off cleaning for way too long, and broke a wine glass in the process. That'll teach me to never clean again.

stopped by my old library yesterday to see former coworkers, and got an idea for my new library that I'm VERY excited to work on, so now I can't wait to go in tomorrow. I guess that's a good sign that I love my job, that I'm impatient to go back to work after the weekend...

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at sheryl@weikallaw.com if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

ICE has just ramped up its presence in the BOSTON area. If you see something -- a raid, cars with masked agents, etc. -- call LUCE right away and record everything you can. Support your neighbors!

I posted this two weeks ago and Morwen is already pushing 7 pounds.

it's been a bit since i posted pictures of the kittens, so! they are growing exponentially (morwen: 5lb13oz; esme: 4lb12oz), they're in the "lanky teenager" stage, and they're still HUGE cuddlebugs. they're also exploring more & getting into more trouble, and i love them even more 💜

overheard a couple talking at Michaels today girlfriend: "oh, you're back soon." boyfriend: "yeah, I didn't go to target because I didn't think you'd take this long." dude, if you don't expect your girlfriend to take a while in Michaels, maybe you don't know her...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
