Oooo it is my favorite day of the year! Our inboxes explode with meeting invites from HR, initially causing panic/irritation, but each invite is blocking off calendars for all paid office closures for the next year

The problem with capitalism is it distorts the natural balance of Fucking Around & Finding Out by creating a class that is allowed nearly infinite fuckery with zero finding out

I am just a humble librarian begging you to not send me requests for “the article linked in this tweet/instagram story or post/snap chat/etc” Yes I know the link leads to a paywall, but it gives me all the information I need. Especially if those stories disappear and/or I don’t have an account

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

A knitting pattern is getting set to be released that uses a common quilt block pattern. There are few things that bring me joy like committing to the bit. I think I need to knit the sweater and sew a matching quilt. Literally just for my own amusement.

Got a request for a paywalled article but they forgot to send any article information. Replied happy to help but I do need info OR I can send a random article of my choosing. Won’t be what you are looking for but will be interesting. They declined. Corporate librarianship can be so lame sometimes

Sure midtown is a mess for the General Assembly with street closures, congestion, constant sirens, and having to go on a block long detour to get literally across a closed street is annoying but it’s at least a little funny that trump tower has been barricaded with literal sewage trucks

Welcome to the extreme sport of commuting to work a few blocks from the UN during the General Assembly. I’m playing “easy mode” by walking. Traffic is a mix of law enforcement ignoring rules, diplomatic immunity, and extreme frustration. Your route will also involve road closures and protests.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

The pattern I just started involves intentionally dropping stitches, but I just started it so you can’t really tell until someone asks. Then you see them struggling to maintain that same polite face and tone as they go “oh…that is…nice.” It looks like I am having a full breakdown
Bright green in progress knitting that is very uneven and has areas of holes and kind of ruffled stitches.

I am not allowing myself to start any new projects until I finish something. But I did wind the yarn for the next 2 and it is sitting on top of FPP quilt patterns taunting me. Ooh girl you know you want to cast on, you are so bored with that other knitting project. Trim and bind? Quilt Tim Curry

I think it is about time to trim and bind this quilt piece.
Quilt of neutral color with cursive navy “Do you hear the people sing?” And a background embroidered with the lyrics to Rage Against the Machine’s ‘Killing in the name’ in red. Quilting gives a sunburst effect coming from the center.

a take I saw that rang true for me today is that the GOP, which spends the other 364 days of the year talking shit about NY (and they did this back then, too, lest they peddle some "we loved it then" story), wants, once a year, to front like they love New York. Nah man. Everybody already heard you
