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.

I love it - I'd put it in my yard!

Idiocy.

It's a true damn story, a one off.

For a cat that was dumped and shot (she still has buckshot in her) who showed up on Christmas Eve Day in 2021 and decided we were her home, having two homes where she is cared for and loved isn't a bad thing at all.

Sadly, yep.

Perfect wording. Saw one in the airport parking lot a couple weeks back, the first time up close, and it looks like a poorly put together plastic model by Ertl.

No wonder racoons think they're dumpsters.

We've become that country.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

It's honestly making me thankful that I have no grandchildren and will have no grandchildren.

Sounds excellent.

I appreciate it.

My kids are MySpace era kids, and the rules were we had to have their passwords, and they could not use their real names or put up pictures of themselves or we would shut the account down. And to tell us if anyone insisted on personal info.

ALL parents should do these things.

Same in E TN.

But a lot of us expected it, with the man came to meet the hurricane victims in February, promised them they'd be taken care of - and minutes later announced he was going to dismantle FEMA.

Hundreds of homeowners in western NC can’t move on with their lives because FEMA has not approved a single application of its homeowner buyout program since Hurricane Helene hit last year. That’s simply unacceptable.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Those in Colorado remember when Gary Hart had to pull out of the election on the suggestion he had had an affair. Created a media circus.

Well, she got her favorite food and a lickie pack, and got to cuddle up with her dogs, so she'll likely stay.

Huge surprise!

The Library Faery is on "Vacation" @libraryfaery.bsky.social · 1d

Very unexpected - and now he's not only going to have to put up with the one kitten that was here already, but now two.

The dogs are very very happy to have her back.

The cat now has a collar with her name and a phone number on it as well.

OUR CAT CAME BACK!

One month to the day since she went missing - and since we never saw any sign of her again, we assumed coyotes got her.

But no. My daughter was at my house, and as she went back to her house, the cat followed her right back up!

She is fatter and perfumed - someone had her.

Sorted almost 1000 books last night for the Halloween parties in the community to give away.

I am a book machine!

It's a warm enough day that I can sit here with the windows open, but the smell of Fall is starting to be in the air, and the neighbors have been having bonfires regularly.

There is just something about the smell of a bonfire that screams Fall, isn't there?

While the White Nationalists are screaming about how we need to ban porn and how horrible it is, the owners of their pet project are bringing back the "Penthouse Forums" section, in an interactive form; akin to 1-900 numbers.

Which memos aren't getting where?

This mindset certainly attracts a type, doesn't it?

It's like a look alike contest.
