They tried to have a meeting without me. That lasted 10 mins before they had to find me & I solved the issue in like 5 mins. 7 ppl with zero clues.

Keep thinking what I do is easy

Happy Columbo’s Day

Series of four screenshots. Lieutenant Columbo talking to his basset hound, Dog, who is sticking his head out of a car window: “OKAY, I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN CHARGE. YOU TAKE CARE OF THE CAR. YOU'RE A RESPONSIBLE DOG
WHEN I GET BACK, IF THE CAR'S OKAY, I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COOKIE. IF THE CAR'S GONE, I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COOKIE ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.”

A reminder that even in his lifetime Christopher Columbus was considered so horrendously cruel that the people responsible for the g*ddamn Spanish Inquisition went “oh my God. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???” And had him arrested and stripped of his titles.

Dunking on Columbus isn’t “revisionist history,” it was literally an order from the crown of Spain in 1500

Also I've once again been impressed by librarians!

I'm reading the Spooky Stories to Tell In the Dark omnibus & it has cues in it?! Little me just thought Mrs B was a dramatic storyteller! I didn't realize the book was collaborative. Also she's most likely gone but shout out to Mrs B

Hey book lovers!

Things will be quiet the next two weeks as I am going on vacation (and I’m not giving the password to anyone 😂🤭), but I wanted to say thank you for all of your support this week and remind you to keep supporting indie bookstores while I’m away.
