The only thing better than seeing more copies of “The Creeping Hand Murder” by @maureenjohnsonbooks.com come in to your indie bookshop, is selling those same copies within the same week.

The diploma for my master’s degree came in today. I am so proud of the work I did to get this piece of paper, but the time around which I finished the program was so weird and difficult, that feeling joy about it feels unearned or somehow inappropriate. What a wild ride it’s been.

First read of the year done, almost 3 weeks in! Really enjoyed continuing in the Boyfriends series by refrainbow, I may need to get some copies to put on my shelves!

Starting a rewatch of Cardcaptor Sakura just to feel something - I never engaged with Clear Card, but I remember people saying the anime wrapped before the manga?

I don’t have definitive resolutions for 2026 (it’s shaping up to start on a very sad note, unfortunately), but I certainly want to read more. I’ve read 59 books this year, and for me that’s pretty low as compared to the past few years. I’m done with school, and my tbr has been growing without (1/4)

Well, I’ve graduated with a 4.0 GPA, after 4.5 years. I truly did not know if I would get here, and it feels very weird to be at the top of this hill.

Finally did some baking in the new apartment after living here for *mumbles* months. They came out… not great! But I have some ideas for what went wrong, and it feels good to be baking again after so long, and with so much else going on. Maybe I will come out the other side a full person again.

fuck you make me
The Geordi from Star Trek meme where he’s against the top thing but is really into the bottom thing. This one says 

Things he doesn’t like:
"Do Not Comply In Advance"
bossy
already a cliche 
implies permission to comply later

And the stuff he likes says 
“"Fuck You, Make Me" 
leads by example 
directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Got an interview for a job that I’m basically a shoo in for, and I’m already getting anxious trying to figure out the schedule. Love being an anxious mess!

Just registered for my last semester of library school, which I feel totally normal about, given that I’ve been working towards this for a number of years, and will almost certainly have no issue getting a job with, right? 😀

And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes. Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.

it also has no verification on the email address so you can use anything as long as it has an @ and a dot-whatever. it does not have to be an existing TLD. fart@fart.fart works huh@huh.whatever works f@u.fuckoff works. anything will work. it's a well built form.

Something we all should remember, as we talk about worst case scenarios and ways to plan for and survive them: It's very much worth remembering that we collectively can and will survive them. And, we will build something beautiful on the ashes of their corrupt and childish violence.

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

National Parks Service Stonewall page on the Wayback machine vs right now. They wrote trans folks out of Stonewall.
A wayback machine screengrab of the National Parks Service website for Stonewall that reads "Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) person was illegal."A screengrab of the current National Parks Service website for Stonewall that reads "Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal."

Working on a school paper about accessibility in libraries, and love having to write sentences like, “At the time of writing, the Americans with Disabilities Act exists.”

Cataloging friends, consider cueing up a local authority record for "Gulf of Mexico" for when the #LCSH is changed. If you're in a consortium, start those discussions now. #critcat

Ok here is the thing with action/praxis/protest/showing up: Sometimes you contribute by being a megaphone. Sometimes by being a wallet. Sometimes by being a physical body. Sometimes by being fuel or being relief. If you can’t be one thing at any given moment you can almost certainly be another.

Just had to tell a mother of a trans kid that I can’t in good conscience recommend they apply for a passport right now, because I have no idea if it’ll be processed correctly, let alone at all. And I fucking hate that.

so the thing is just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming it's actually not helpful

The energy I’m trying to bring for what is hopefully just the next four years
A photo from Snapchat showing a sticker with a blue background, and a white hand giving a thumbs up, in which reads “I ignored the online troll!”, written in green text. The Snapchat caption says “the energy for this week”

Not sure what I’m doing with this account just yet, other than having a place to follow librarians and authors and other great bookish people doing great work.
