the google play store started prompting me to "save my gaming streak" with no way to turn it off, and that is immediately when I stopped playing my stupid mobile games (mostly sudoku) sir, I have no fewer than 14 other devices I can play games on, most of which are portable. know your place.

in MA there are 7 regional library networks, but also a state-wide network called "Commonwealth Catalog" and it gets shortened to "ComCat". so, many libraries have cat stamps to include on the ComCat slips. a few libraries collected them this year to make displays of all the different stamps!
various stamps and drawings of cats on interlibrary transit slips in Massachusetts. various stamps and drawings of cats on interlibrary transit slips in Massachusetts. various stamps and drawings of cats on interlibrary transit slips in Massachusetts. a stamp of a cat wearing a witch hat and cape, riding a broom. it has a speech bubble that says "thank you". this stamp is from Salem

I had Halloween storytime at the library yesterday and if this isn't the most iconic picture of me 🥰
I, a white woman with long red hair, am standing at the front of a room, holding open a book ("We're Going on a Ghost Hunt"). I'm dressed in a long purple velvet dress with big, draping sleeves, and a witch hat to match. a stuffed Pete the Cat is to the side of me, sitting on top of the felt board. on the smart board on the other side of me, the words to "five little pumpkins" are written out. in the foreground, facing towards me/away from the camera, two children are hugging as they listen to the story. one is dressed as a firefighter and the other is dressed as Snow White.

I found a great argument for using the Oxford comma in the wild. (courtesy of bookpage)
a blurb about "Replaceable You" by Mary Roach that reads: 

"Mary Roach has made a career writing about bodily things that make readers simultaneously flinch and stare: cadavers, guts and sex, to name a few."

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

genuine question-- i've always loved how splatoon is (generally) VERY welcoming of the lgbtqia+ community, but has anyone ever looked into WHY the splatoon population tends to skew/attract this community more than a lot of other comp scenes?

I've lived by and worked in fine fee libraries for so long that I forget other places still charge late fees. it's an antiquated policy that restricts the most vulnerable from accessing things they need, and it severely limits circulation stats. more libraries should be fine free!

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

it's been a bit since i posted pictures of the kittens, so! they are growing exponentially (morwen: 5lb13oz; esme: 4lb12oz), they're in the "lanky teenager" stage, and they're still HUGE cuddlebugs. they're also exploring more & getting into more trouble, and i love them even more 💜
two kittens in a sunny windowsill. morwen, a solid black cat, is curled up and esme, a calico with a lot of white and big, wide eyes, is sitting up in the window. they kind of fit together like a puzzle piece in the picture.

A grey rabbit reading a book in bed under a quilted blanket as the sun rises out a window behind them. They looked shocked, and are almost at the end of their book. Text below reads: "I messed up!!! (again)"

A tired white cat reading on their phone in bed under a star patterned quilt. Their phone brightness is creating a huge yellow beam of light. At the top is "4:00" in red like a digital clock. Small orange text in the beam of light behind the cat says "oh no".
