Mmm tastes like spent fireworks and the Epstein Files, and for the low, low price of 60 cans of Keystone Light, this is just what America needed. SMH. 🤦
Suit up bitches! I have caffeine, a 20 year old MMORPG, and Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" on repeat. Nerd Aura Activate!
Yup, so today I celebrate like a rom com character who just got dumped. Spoiler: Guinness and chocolate ice cream is lit.
My many thanks to our ESU Red Notes Jazz Ensemble who have been playing out the semester for us. A pleasure to host these amazing student musicians, and I can't wait to work with them come fall. #libraryevents #libraries #jazz #rednotes
How long do you think I can go before I get blocked by Inside Higher Ed over in Linkedin? Place your bets!
Just a heads up. As much as I could imagine that our bloated umpa-lumpa president would fall for this, this is fake news. Careful y'all. Double check your memes before releasing them into the wild.
To be fair here, let's take a quick census on how many times America has been threatened by pro-palestine acivists. Let's see, nothing, plus nothing, carry the nothing... 🤷 Seriously, Dorothy whacked the wrong witches.
Some quick pics of the National Women's Month panel discussion my library hosted. I love that they let me plan and organize these events. #libraries #nationalwomensmonth #academia
So I have aMasters degree in English and have taught college level English courses. I am FLOORED at how bad these "educational" learning programs are. 3 with wrong "correct" answers and 2 more grammatical inaccuracies. This is what we get when our educational system goes to the lowest bidder.
The reason libraries are defunded, and the narrative of their obsolescence so heavily pushed, is that community and shared knowledge is always a threat to those who seek to abuse their power. The system only benefits them in so long as we remain divided and uneducated. Libraries ARE resistance.
Keep your old textbooks safe. Preservation is an act of resistance.
#TTRPG post here. Can we take a moment to appreciate that the very first advice given under the HORROR ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS'S "Investigator's Survival Guide" is "Create New Characters" 😂 Oh Call of Cthulhu, you are such a delight.
This just in! Leopards eating faces. Witnesses claim victim to have said "I never thought they would eat MY face." as he was being devoured. Leopards unavailable for comment.
Yie Ar Kung-Fu. My first game for the Commodore 64. I still have rage when trying to fight Fan. 😵💫
Old photo, but cats don't give a crap about your poetry. Cats are the ultimate critics.
We talk about your unaging, stars like the Paul Rudds of the world, but I see you Ant-man and raise you one Weirdo. This man is 65 and looks younger than the day he started. THIS is the real fountain of youth right here folks!
A friend of mine pointed this out. Doesn't this bitch look like she is about to announce the Mutant Registration Act?
No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. If it's the actress, Helen Mirren, I have high hopes. This woman is wonderful. If it's the character, Falstaff? I mean how bad could madness be, am I right?
Done! One complete draft of a poetry book manuscript! It gets to sit on the shelf for a month or two before revisions, but dear lords, ladies, and lieges, this was a wild ride. Gadzooks I am exhausted! And no, the title isn't just HUMAN, thought that might work for future title. 😜
Not everything that haunts us is painful. Right now this Jean Valentine poem is a welcomed haunting.
Mini Vegetarian Shepard's Pies. Sometimes the Internet is a delight.
Revisiting one of my favorite poet peoples of all time. My dear mentor, thank you for being you.
I made a thing! Began a new Fantasy AGE campaign & we are playing in a mostly homebrew world. So I made a setting guide, with many thanks to @aebrossbooks.bsky.social who got it all work work on Lulu. * The setting is 90% mine. I just stole the map of the Moonshae to save time for place names.
The current events display made for my library this summer. If anyone sees anything problematic, let me know and I will investigate ASAP.
