My uncle Jon gave me my first Tarot reading (& deck but that was much later!)
One time when I stayed over, he offered me a “Tiger’s Milk smoothie” which was probably fine if overly healthful to my preteen tastebuds but he also had a cat named Tiger
Jon in a denim shirt & his usual neckerchief points out tarot cards to 6-year old me. I think we’re looking at the Wheel of Fortune (Rider-Waite-Smith)

Flattered by the ongoing interest in my 2011 MLIS research project “what the heck do we consider science fiction anyway” 😉
I am presenting at an academic poster session at the Ontario Library Association’s Superconference 2. Classification of Science Fiction in Public Libraries Shivaun Hoad University of Western Ontario, MLIS student Science fiction as a genre is devalued, inside and outside of the library world, while classical and literary works of science fiction are considered mainstream. How does the concept of "science fiction" impact how books are shelved? A content analysis of OPAC records of 37 novels showed that many are labelled inconsistently across Canadian public libraries. This topic impacts patrons browsing for genre and mainstream fiction, as well as librarians performing readers advisory.

First IRL zine fair in a while and I don’t think I fully connected the dots between “people will stand at your table reading everything in front of you” and “I wrote about learning how to masturbate” 🫣
