The anxiety of waiting the full week for all the acceptances to come in for Advent. "Oh, not everyone checks their email as often as I do." AGONY. 😆😆😆

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Now why can I only add a pic or a gif but not both? Sigh. Well. First, hope everyone is well. Second, [insert Big Bird kicking down the door gif]. I'm busting out my cave to FINALLY drop this bag of excellent news... on a random Wednesday. In true chaotic fashion. As one does.

Even if you were literate! I have letters from the late 1800s/early 1900s from one relative who spelled her own name at least five different ways. "Legal" spelling wasn't very important to her.

I know that feeling. When I'm sick I want chicken and dumplings from a friend of the family, and she's been gone for nearly 40 years. :\ We miss things that taste like love!

Have you ever wondered what the Hall would look like just lit by candles?

Wonder no more.

Happy Sunday!

We are looking at a large room lit only by candles. The candles are placed around a fireplace, on ledges around central posts and on tables. The light makes the floor glimmer.

Yeah, I'm super pissed at my state and the MFING *sneaky* way they got this through. Ohio, ignoring the will of the voters, yeehaw. I refuse to comply, but it's not Bluesky's fault.

I thought of *several* of you when I saw this

Tumblr screenshot. Poster 1, BarbWritesStuff, Aug 26.
I have learnt today that my library refers to me as 'the specific and highly active user' and has denied some of my purchase requests because 'we can't skew the collection too much toward the taste of the specific and highly active user.
I did suggest roughly 100 vampire books for purchase last year. I think this probably has something to do with that.

One reblog from dragon-in-a-fez, Sep 20.
OP is there any particular reason the librarians would feel safer not invoking you by name

So I can no longer view "adult content" on Bluesky despite being Gen X bc some pearl-clutchers in my state have decided I have to prove my identity to look at a dick. Utter nonsense. I refuse to provide my wallet/real-person info.
