Librarian, comics nerd, lovers of octopuses, secretly three feral raccoons in a cardigan.

One of my favorite work related hobbies is telling people what an absolute trash human being Melvil Dewey was. It's just fun.

Appt went much better than expected. Discussed all the options and he ended the appt with "So you pick what works best for you, and we'll go with that." I have some decent doctor luck.

I have an obgyn appt tomorrow to see about popping my IUD out and seeing if I can just get my tubes tied. If he asks how my husband feels about if, I may just start screeching "Give me snip snip!" at the top of my lungs.

Latest #sewing project is a pajama shirt! I did a very bad job on it! But it's done and comfy so who cares if it's a little uneven and lumpy.

That desire to be neither alive nor dead, but a secret mysterious third thing. J/k, it's not fucking mysterious. It's asleep. I want to be asleep for like 6-8 weeks. I'm so tired. I cannot brain.

All I remember from Vegas is making it to the first bar on our bar crawl and going, "It's too hot. I'm not leaving this bar."

Pisces: Things have not been easy for you lately. Is it because you failed to share a chain email with 10 of your closest friends back in 2004? The stars would say yes.

I got a big whif of CLR Wednesday night before I remembered to put my mask on and now I have this dry cough. And I'm not saying the two are related but I am spending Friday night looking up chemical pneumonia so that's fun. 😑

I talk about this a lot with my therapist. That I spend all my time waiting for the other shoe to drop that I'm barely an active participant in my life. You're definitely not alone in that feeling.

Libraries and librarians are under attack in so many place in so many ways and I wanted to do something, so I made this image in support of them. You can download it or print it up to let folks know you support your libraries!

One of the most important things you can do as an ally and as fighter of fascism is stop laughing at evangelical Christians and realize they mean every single word they say. They’re not funny, they’re absolutely terrifying. Take them extremely seriously and act accordingly.

Not only are they not joking, they have quietly taken control of every single political system they can get their hands on. if a person can be elected, they're running for it and winning races no one takes seriously or looks at very hard. like school boards.

Woke up at 5am with enough panic crawling up my throat to choke an elephant. Really excited that after peopling this weekend, I get to hermit Monday and Tuesday. Gonna spend too much money on plants and potentially bury myself alive in the garden bed. Good times.

Follow up to this, does anyone happen to know a tax attorney in California that could answer some questions about unpaid tax debt of a deceased person? Otherwise it's going to be a crapshoot reaching out to whoever I can find on the interwebz.

I hate taxes. I hate estates. I hate dead people. I really really hate dead people who make me do taxes to deal with their estates. Don't ever be the responsible child.

Marlowe giving off very "wealthy pampered oil baron vibes" after I wrapped him up. He has continued to lounge on the bed like this for the past two hours. #catsofbluesky #tortie

Hello, I have gone to every Toronto Comic Arts Festival since 2005, and I am pretty excited for TCAF this weekend. Cartoonists and comics forever. (Random selection of past hauls because I like it when other people do this so I can pinch and zoom and judge.)

Since writing this article, I have received messages from angry men, calling me names, telling I’m wrong, & that I’d be begging a man to save me if I was lost in the woods. To recap, there are men are sending me abusive emails to prove they are the safe choice. So far, no bears have written in.

Had my annual checkup with my primary care doc and regaled her with tales of the last few months. Dr. "How are you still alive?" Me "I am unkillable cockroach fueled by spite. I cannot die. 🤷‍♀️" I'm pretty sure I'm her favorite patient.

I appreciate having friends who 100% support that the most important part of me going to Toronto for TCAF, is to take a picture outside of the library that they used as the precinct in #ForeverKnight. Priorities, I have them.

Of course he thinks it's not a big deal since they have no impact on him at all. Even if his books did get banned, man has more money than god, he'd never notice. He's been out of touch on things for ages, I wish people would stop acting like his opinions matter. Le sigh.

Wednesday is the second anniversary of my mom's death. We had a contentious relationship to put it mildly. So I can't tell if all the feels I'm having are #grief or if I'm having feelings about not having feelings about her being dead.

Annual performance reviews are probably my least favorite thing about being a manager. I would love to just abolish that concept entirely. I think they're utterly useless.

Doing a class today at work so had to make my sample. Ended up making the bottom section too big so I had to rubberband it off to get it to work as an example 🤣
