I was there many years ago and it was ok, but I don’t think you’re missing anything if you skip it.

We just drove through RI and CT. We did spend a couple days in bar Harbor Maine and loved it. I wish I could find our itinerary for that trip.

Charlotte FC was down 2-0. I went to poop. Since I have been sitting on the commode they have tied the game. You’re welcome, fellow fans. I’ll stay in here the rest of the game. 🤣

I love Walton Goggins, but if I never had to see one of his Walmart commercials again, it wouldn’t be too soon.

We are not the post office, or the campus mail room, no matter what Amazon’s/FedEx’s/Walmart’s maps tell you. (Yes I feel this one so hard!)

Ok, dumb question for librarians. I did try to figure this out but OCLC’s documentation is confusing. If my library drops its firstsearch subscription, will students be able to see our holdings and make ILL requests thru Worldcat.org? Or will I have to get their “visibility” subscription for that? 📚

I mean, I would poke fun at UNC for his shitty education, but to be fair, he probably never actually took any classes.

Turn the page to something a little more mysterious. This design brings together candles, stacks of books, and skulls in a delightfully spooky design. This dress is certainly keeping things spine-chil...

I am registered unaffiliated which may be why I get them from both. And I get a whole damn tree’s worth of flyers in my mailbox every time. Normally 90% Republican but this time it’s more like 60-40. Which gives me hope.

I’d be curious to see that too. We still have a librarian doing that, but we are tiny (and he has other responsibilities as well).

Dear Peacock, thank you so much for shutting down my account with ZERO warning and then MORE THAN DOUBLING the rate for a teacher account. I will not be paying MORE THAN DOUBLE for your service. Fuck off.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

I don’t think there is a definitive list - the rule doesn’t list specific programs, just the financial calculations they will do, and it may vary by state or school . Lists that I have seen are hypotheticals based on how poorly certain careers pay.
