It’s spooky season! There’s a Stray Kids for that. Yesterday’s post had silly vampirism; today’s is serious (and 🥵). Enjoy our favorite song “about trains”

My husband always leads with “The dogs are never good!” And our kid responds “They’re always good!” Then we pull up the video and either the kid or I will point and say “See?”

October 3 has some sort of cosmic significance for me. It’s the natal day of 3 guys who’ve left their mark on my life. My hubs deserves the whole day to himself, so today I recognize the other two: Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys and Bang Chan of Stray Kids. Happy early birthday, gents!

Today I celebrate the subgroup 3racha. Bang Chan, Han, and Changbin: talented vocalists, dancers, lyricists, composers, and producers. They can look like they’re tough, but we know they’re all walking cinnamon rolls carrying green flags. Without them, SKZ wouldn’t be the group we know and love

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

Look at what my idiot cats did to my tree 😭 Not shown: the bite marks on the electrical cords
A Christmas tree with white lights and no ornaments is divided halfway up the tree by sagging branches. The sagging was caused by two cats jumping into the tree and chasing each other through the branches. The cats are not in the photo.

It’s been a year this week since I lost my first fur baby, Little Bit. The house was too quiet, so in January we adopted Bowser and last month we brought home Astra. Bowser is about 1.5 years old and Astra is 3 months old. We love our void cats!
Bowser, a young black cat, regally reclines on the back of a brown couch in front of a window. He is looking directly into the camera with greenish yellow eyes.Astra, a black kitten, playfully curls up on her side with her paws framing her face. She has brownish yellow eyes and she is laying on a well-worn tan blanket

**Libraries & Mental Health Survey** I'm updating my research and subsequent talks related to mental health in the library. I'd love insight from library workers of all backgrounds + experiences, and I've got a handy survey. Please take & share widely. Thank you! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Image of a Canva graphic. It says "Survey! Librarianship & Mental Health" with the link to the survey via Google docs at tinyurl.com/library-mh-25. It has an image of books on shelves. Below the image, it says "Open through August 1. Answers anonymous and encouraged from *all* levels of library workers."

The greatest scam ever perpetrated on society is that women are too emotional to lead. The fact that peri/menopausal women—who are in a constant low-level rage—aren’t stabbing people on a daily basis should be proof that we’re in more control than men.

If you're thinking anything like "well, but, children shouldn't have access to sexual material in the library" I want to remind you that these people think discussing the reality of puberty is pornography.
