We need more goofy cereal and electricity safety ads and less everything else.

I’m taking a workshop this weekend and I’m so excited to learn things and so terrified of meeting new people. But this was one of my goals for 40, to find opportunities to make new friends. I feel like I need a pep talk from my nephew.

What do you mean it was the overwhelming stress that made my brain stop wanting to work and killed my motivation and interest in usual hobbies?

One of the things that really brought a smile to my elderly mother-in-law was hearing what her visitor counts were to her quilting website. Now she's in hospice, so I'm going to try to drive some visitation numbers up quiltsbymarlene.com This is just a fraction of her 50 years of quilting.

The hill I will die on: Women say "like," "um," and "err," so frequently, because when there is the slightest pause in their speech, they are interrupted by men, and don't get the floor back to speak.🤷🏿‍♂️ So people that are frequently interrupted tend to use more verbal fillers. Let women speak.

Listening to interviews with a bunch of tech policy people and apparently the term AI now means basically anything a computer does without close supervision by a human. Because AI is just a marketing term that tech companies say means whatever they want.

New ergonomic pillow means I’m sleeping better and waking with more energy. Which means I’m not falling into the “can’t get myself to take meds” trap. Which means I’m staying energized all day. Except now it’s 1:30am and I’m still wide awake knitting like it’s my job or something.

We recently went to an improv comedy show with a very clear “NO HECKLING” rule. One of the players exited a scene saying “I’m going to work on my macrame!” (Extra funny as he was an older dude) He returned mumbling “I dropped a stitch” Reader, I nearly got kicked out.

I’m no stranger to work-related stress nightmares, but the ones I was having last night were so incredibly chaotic that at no point did I believe I wasn’t in a dream. Which really took the bite out of the stress aspect. Now I feel like there’s nothing weirder this week can throw at me.

I thought about why I’ve been pushing back on stolen midterm fears. What’s the harm of worry, even if it doesn’t materialize? It’s this. The regime has less capacity than it’d like, and tries to make up the difference with bluster. If people act as if it’s true, that grants the regime more power.

Library workers are burned out, and they're clear on what's creating some of the worst mental health conditions both inside and outside the library. Here's what they had to say, as well as ways and means by which library worker mental health can be improved. This is a call to action.

I haven’t been able to maintain focus on any single book recently. Hopping around several without gaining traction is a lot like trying to watch TV with my mother in the late 90s. In retrospect neither of us should have been surprised by our brain diagnoses (decades later).

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
