Staff Training day and they brought in a magician to close it out. I was skeptical but it was pretty fun! Also got to see my first full show in the new planetarium and made a leather keychain in the new Maker Lab! Libraries are great, guys... support your local one!

On another #Survivor note...I am going back and watching through (not every season, I'm making a list) but I started with the first All Star season and I remember most of those players from the first airings. Let me know what seasons to not miss...or to definitely miss, I'd appreciate all the input.

I mean, honestly, most of Taylor Swift's music for the last decade has kind of sounded the same to me. What I've heard of her new stuff sounds just as similar.

Screenshot of text reading: "In total, the state has reported 11 cases of measles so far this year, the highest number since the disease was eradicated more than two decades ago. All 11 people were unvaccinated, and none had immunity from a previous infection, according to the department."

Attending a bachelorette outing today for my cousin-sister (long story) and I'm sure it's gonna be fun but I have NO details about what we are doing. Just getting on a bus with everyone and being taken away for who knows how long. Wish me luck!

I will put off phone updates for SO long because I know it's always gonna piss me off. As someone who sold tech/electronics as a younger person....I just hate everything now. I totally understand the old = grouchy thing that I never did when I was younger.

They're installing carpet right outside my office and the fans are loud and the glue smell is giving me a headache, ugh.

She's a perfect example of how the Bible crew people that are overly outward with their beliefs always rub me the wrong way immediately. They always prove my hesitation with them right in the end.

I will never understand how otherwise seemingly very smart people will believe all that dumb shit. #bb27

Chelsie on live feeds talked about her pastor praying over a boys stunted leg & “saw it grow longer with her own 2 eyes” & then about her mentor quitting his cancer treatments so they could faith heal his tumor away.. HillSong is just a snake oil salesman factory like all mega churches 🤷🏻 #bb27

I kind of respect that Ava really did just fuck off back home it seems and doesn't want to engage with any of the cast. Has she even been chasing any clout on social media? I was pretty sure that would be her bag when this was all over. #bb27
