Library assistant. My life is a Southern gothic novel. I used to do history things, but now I mostly talk about horror, books, and whatever impulsive thoughts make it out of my head. Opinions are solely my own.

Another Caitlin Starling book I’m loving! She writes hallucinations and madness so incredibly well. I’m about halfway through and she remains my current favorite author

“Fuck it, we ball” but it’s just me buying a hoop skirt to be the most extra employee at the library on Halloween

Old woman right at closing: I need to renew my overdue books. And I need to check these out.

Me, on the brink: yes ma’am. Would you like your receipt?

Old woman: why would I need a receipt?

Me: it has your due date on it

Her, with the late books: no I don’t need it

Shoutout to the parents next to us who are letting their 5 year old son run around the table and pitch a fit because he can’t have the ball he almost knocked his drink over with. Stellar

All I have in my head today is the “no king, no king, la la la la la!” Scene with the hyenas in the lion king

Decided to take my lunch outside because the weather is beautiful and this perfect little leaf was on the table 🖤🍁

A tiny red and green leaf caught in the holes of a picnic table.

Exactly!

🎃Batsy Cline (she/her)🎃 @batsinthebrittfry.bsky.social · 1d

I agree!

I stopped following most of the goth influencers I was following and that helped too.

My desire to spend money dropped drastically when I stopped following brands

My daughter went to a trunk or treat thing at her old elementary school with her best friend and her siblings, and the library had a little table set up. She apparently said to them “Hey, my mom works there!” And they asked who I was and they knew me 😂🖤. A little thing that made me smile today
