The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Today was my birthday , and it was a good day. I was able to do what I wanted - some things just for me, and also for others, which is always a good thing to do. Finished the day with my family having good food and laughter, which was perfect. Here’s to #56! 030
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Tell me you’ve never been to Georgia without saying you’ve never been to Georgia. As much as I’m not a fan of UGA, it definitely resides in Athens, Georgia, and should be correctly placed. #BookInaccuracies #DoTheResearch 030

The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Great. Our Moron-In-Chief is going to make it harder to get candy bars. Or at least more expensive. Dammit. I’m sorry, Canadian friends. If it were up to me, we would be your next province. #AmericaIsDumb #CanWeBeCanadiansNow 000
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Had some visitors yesterday. We charged no tariffs for their stay, but they did generously give us some goose turds. I guess I can’t blame them. #Geese #GooseLounge 020
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Last nights giant Hulk of a burrito, made by Surcheros. So big I had to cut it in half to eat. Delicious. #Surcheros #BigOleBurrito #HulkBurrito 140
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I love when weirdos show up to the movies cosplaying. This guy (maybe a middle schooler?) was enjoying himself and cared not one bit what anyone thought. Those are the best costumes folks. Stay weird, my dude. You’re the ones who are going to save us all. ❤️ 250
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I’m really hoping for this one. #BizMarkie #OhBabyYOUUUU 0110
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 12/07/2026On rotation for two days now. I’m late to being a hardcore Stones fan (I’ve enjoyed them casually over the last 40+ years) but I’m loving their late-career surge. #ForeignTongues #RollingStones 250
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 04/07/2026…because birthdays are for gluttony, I guess? #JulyFourthFood 040
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Reading a novel written in 1989 about criminal computer activity, and it’s like a time machine trip. Lots of lol on the “high tech” stuff, but the highlight in this grab has me doing a heavy lol here in the year of our Lord 2026. 140
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Went along with our 22-year-old Monkees fan daughter to see Micky Dolenz put on a Monkees 60th Anniversary celebration concert last night. It was more fun than a barrel of…well, you know… #Monkees60 #MickyDolenz 220
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 20/06/2026This hipster kid from yesteryear is someone special to me. It’s my dad’s father, looking way different than I ever saw him. I don’t know the year this was taken or his age in the picture, but I’m guessing he was in his late teens. #OldFamilyPhotos #GrandaddyWasCool 220

The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Shared by a friend on another network who (not unforeseen) has fallen under the sway of the MAGA cult. What *I* see is that all of the non-white faces are in positions of servitude, while all the white ones are not. *That’s* why they needed to change, not “becuz racism.” 031
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Day one of retirement: Morning mimosas, included in a mile walk. #NewThings #Retirement 041

The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Way too many Americans missed the message that this is how you handle racist folks in government. Or anywhere, for that matter. #HomerStokes #OBrotherWhereArtThou 030
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 20/12/2025An early gift to myself. Not a big tote bag kind of guy, but I couldn’t pass it up. One of the few times crossing the threshold of Hot Topic was worth it. #KingOfTheHill #IDontKnowYou 030

The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Sitting in the car, charging my phone and reading while the rain comes down. Good book, but some heavy and emotional subject matter. 260
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Apparently soup is a relevant question here in our small rural town. #Graffiti #Soup 080
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Post-lunch dessert. Our university dining hall does several variations on Rice Krispy treats, which so far have all been wonderful. I was a little apprehensive about today’s Froot Loops version, but it was another great idea. 10/10, would recommend. #AdventuresInCereal #InterestingDesserts 050
The Dread Librarian (Retired) @kellcarpenter.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Today’s lunch, from the university dining hall. Not bad at all, believe it or not. #Pizza 1140
