this has literally never happened before, but today my library’s order of a new book came in before my personal order, and of course this would happen for @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social’s new book that I absolutely canNOT wait to read I hope it flies off our shelves!

I don’t know if I pass better, my reputation has started proceeding me, or the kids have just become better at reading the situation (I suspect a combination of the three), but we’re a month into the school year and I’ve been misgendered WAY less than last year 🙌

interview was today and I think it went as well as it could have honestly! I still think I’m slightly underqualified, but if someone internal gets it (likely), I’ve set myself up well for that future opening

finally sat down and read the last volume of Heartstopper, and, as someone with specific trauma from being dumped because of college long distance twice, I’m a wreck, but, as a gay who loves nothing more than other gays being happy and in love, I’m a different wreck and that is to say, I loved it

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

welp, still haven’t heard, which makes me fairly confident they went with someone else, so that’s a huge bummer less than 2 weeks until I go back to my toxic manager then 🥲
