I'm getting bottom surgery on December 9, two months from today!!! I've started a GoFundMe to help with recovery costs (including travel costs for my girlfriend, who'll be my primary caregiver during that time, and general living costs). Please help if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-lu...

also, in case any Friends of Bean want to help [wheel of fortune voice] Clean That Bean:

photo of me awkwardly holding bean the mini dachshund behind my back while she stares at the camera. there’s an inset pic of a little dachshund stamped on paper.

text says: bean loves going to vet and is completely normal about it. speaking of, we’re trying very hard to save up to get her teeth cleaned (and possibly extractions). her stinky mouth has reached uncomfortable levels and she can only eat moistened or wet food. my venmo is kait-sanchez if you’d like to chip in to clean the bean. bean and i will even send you a thank you note with a little bean stamp if you want.

took bean to the vet and as usual she spent the entire time in the waiting room desperately climbing all over H and i like a cat. meanwhile the receptionist was quietly playing bela lugosi’s dead. happy monday!

why would i get in that dinky little boat when i can just wait for rescue on this Huge and Comfortable ship 🤨 am i stupid 🤨

reading a middle grade book about the titanic and reminding myself every five pages that the passengers and crew of the titanic (ship) had not seen titanic (movie) and therefore it makes sense that they would do such things as: not worry about it, refuse to get on lifeboats, so on and so forth

sometimes i desperately want to pull someone aside for some “you also find this person annoying right… it’s not just me?” or “whoa can we talk about what just happened there” but i don’t want to misread the vibe and flounder!!

love my internet friends but one thing that’s more difficult online than it is when hanging out face-to-face is trying to suss out who would be open to a bit of gossiping lol

my very cool (and kinda mean) 8th grade teacher told me she respected my desire to actually think hard about what confirmation meant before going through with it, as opposed to just going through the motions like everyone else, which in turn made me respect her more 🫡

crisp @crisp-red.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

i ended up not getting confirmed but my confirmation name was going to be agnes, mostly because as a 12-13 year old i was obsessed with the idea of a 12-13 year old martyr lol

we have an older patron often comes in for help when i’m working, and he gives me the gentlest little fist bump whenever we solve a computer issue. the healing energy of that fist bump can easily carry me through a day.

you might think the hardest part of my job is helping elderly people navigate social services systems that must be accessed via arcane online portals none of them understand. and you would be right. but the second hardest part is Keeping My Damn Mouth shut when people check out harry potter books.

dunno if you remember them, but i really appreciated you sharing some of my pieces during my brief stint in journalism a few years ago! putting in a purchase rec for your book felt like a small way to thank you, and i’m also excited to read it myself :)

i haven’t done a lot of acquisition recommendations at this library cause it took me a while to get a feel for the vibe of our small town patron base. the other one i’ve been proud of this year is @ravineangel.bsky.social ‘s persona, which i’ve been very happy to see circulate!

crisp @crisp-red.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

just read tillie walden’s ‘charity & sylvia’ and am very bummed out that a historian who walden very clearly has a lot of admiration and gratitude for is smearing her name and belittling her work! it sucks!

i have scrolled through so much not-very-good mermaid art trying to find this comic 🫩

crisp @crisp-red.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

at some point there was a young french (?) artist doing a retelling of the little mermaid with lovely art, and i surely will never find them again thanks to search being broken everywhere :) 👍🏼

ha! i encountered this clue after seeing your post. serendipity~

crossword clue: “large O” (literally, that’s what it means) in the greek alphabet

crisp @crisp-red.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

did you learn this via a crossword or was that a coincidence

huge personal news: i finally reached the part that’s excerpted on the back of the book

the great god pan and other horror stories by arthur machen. the cover is plain yellow with just the title (displayed sideways) and a pair of black horns.

the back cover of the book, with a quote that says “something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth, a slimy, wavering tentacle…”

surgical light in one panel to chandelier in the next. beautiful.

comic panel depicting grim surgeons carefully selecting tools, an OR light glowing hazily in the upper left of the frame. the next panel is some medieval dorks singing a goofy song while a frog swings from a candle chandelier in the upper left.

found it lol turbofanatic.com/hosting/comi...

comic panel showing circular pit in the ground. whatever made the pit disappeared a huge chunk of a building, revealing a clean cross section of various rooms inside the building. a news helicopter hovers in the foreground with a speech bubble that says “what the hell’s that?”

does anyone happen to recall a recent-ish webcomic that opens with a mysterious blast that perfectly slices through a building (a research lab/office?) and some of the people inside of it…? i read some of it a while ago and have no memory where i came across it…

‘and then there were none’ was my last read of 2025 and i think i saw you mention it recently. any other christies/ classic mysteries in general that you really enjoy?

had a completely baffling & frustrating patron interaction that lasted for several hours on-and-off today, followed a little while later by a woman coming in and saying “mm, there’s just something about libraries. such calming spaces. :)”

constantly reflecting on the fact that i, for years, misremembered gander as a group word for geese and though “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” meant what’s good for one is good for all

my favorite hobby is spending hours attempting to triangulate a doctor in my area who takes my insurance while also meeting various other criteria, before finally giving up and scheduling a random appointment with the energy of someone making an online impulse purchase
