The duality of 🐴: #GarbageMare is invulnerable to heat, cold, and a number of toxic plants. Also, today she injured her hind legs because she was trotting and then farted and forgot how her legs worked and fell.
📚 What’s it like working in a library? Well, I had to order a velociraptor head today for work-related purposes…
Fun fact: I only got elected to leadership at @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social so I could be here at Wrigley again. #ALAAC26

This to me was one of the funnier series of images. They didn’t go get barrels of hydrogen peroxide from some industrial chemical supply. They went to a store and got little bottles of it and they all had to sit there opening the bottles and pouring them one by one.

Noisy, gawky, exceedingly irritating. But also so smart that they won’t fall for just any rubbish. - A 1927 description of the generation that navigated adulthood through the Great Depression, Civil Rights Movement, and Naziism

Today, the raven that hangs out with #GarbageMare brought her an interesting piece of agate. Not sure what the banding indicates other than an iron deposit - could it be a fossil?
I was looking at Indeed postings for some algorithmic evaluation purposes and honest to god based on the keywords "higher education management" it recommended I go work at a turkey farm
Normal day at the library, this just showed up and nobody knows from where
There are entire species of birds house with the remains of #GarbageMare ‘s winter coat
