A librarian who tested positive for Covid the Monday before ALA went to ALA anyway and fucking blogged about it, which at least provides some info for potential exposure. She went to opening session, the Printz awards, and the Morris awards. The audacity
Hey, so.
I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but.
It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.
Heat index 110 today and 115 tomorrow and the National Weather Service just texted me that everyone needs to stay inside today and tomorrow until after 8pm

but hey enjoy your AI, techbros π« π
Went to a clinic today for a routine medical thing and was once again amazed by the number of people who are happy to hang out and just freely breathe in all the air juice inside the germ emporium
And he is such a good baby, especially for his age. Right now he's quietly playing on his bed. When he gets tired he goes into his crate and takes a nap.
2 of the top 3 candidates for the US presidency have shown a repeated willingness to believe any conspiracy dangled in front of them like a set of keys, including wildly anti-american ones, which are straightforward cognitive deficiencies for what we should demand in a president. neither are biden.
Axel Foley is a Rogue with at least a +12 in Deception.
What set him on the path of using his skills on the side of the law, one wonders? Kinda hoping the latest movie will tell me.
Right? There is something about tiny puppy in big world.
This is my favorite pic of our last dog when she was four months old. Tiny puppy, big world. Also something of a Bloom County rhythm to the composition.
He'd recently had a woman come up to him in NYC and burst into tears because he father passed recently, and one of the last things they'd done was watch Beverly Hills Cop together. It was the last time she heard her dad laugh.
Art is personal and profound even, or maybe especially, when it's funny.
Right before we started the movie I was reading an interview with Judge Reinhold (Billy Rosewood) where he said a difference between dramas and comedies is that with dramas people want to talk about the movie, but with comedies they want to talk about what was happening in their lives.
I won't livepost it since so many of you haven't seen it, but the first thing is - if he didn't look as young as 21 in 1984, he sure as hell doesn't look as old as 61 now.
The older I get, the more it boggles my mind that Eddie Murphy was 21 when he did Beverly Hills Cop... after already having a couple of very successful years on SNL.
Yes, we are rewatching the series to watch the new one. I think Bronson Pinchot is in the new one, too.
I came to my 14 year old with a concern about social media. He literally took his glasses off, rubbed his temples, and asked: βwhat have the moms on the internet said now?β π―π«€π
I won this auction the first year and did the brainstorm session with Sasha. Holy cow, it was great. I was hella stuck in my WIP, and she gave me SO many good ideas and suggested paths to take... www.32auctions.com/organization...
just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

I am sure three years from now someone who has followed me since the beginning will still say "OMG you did vintage mystery hardcovers for the series?"
The moral of the story is: someone is always going to miss when you said something is available, so just keep telling people.
Okay, this one is already at $211, but it's cool af and I LOVE IT. S.A. Chant, who wrote my favorite Peter Pan retelling ever (Peter Darling, also in the auction, annotated!) is doing EPISTOLARY STORYTELLING IN YOUR MAILBOX. I can't stand it. This is the coolest. π
Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.
