Oh I limit follows which means I have to approve you and I probably will but you can toot @ me and that'll make it easier for me to know.

nothing reminds me of my dyslexia like trying to type "eric" and ending up with weird mutations.

@no_reply not entirely related or anything but introducing you to @overclicked who is a gem and you two might get on nicely

Ideally all my selfies are [okcom, noflirt]. Anyway. Lunch now.

update: ANOTHER one bites the dust. This one 112 mi southeast

Multiverse was just added to the Library of Congress subject headings! Good job everyone.

I want to be here at work today because I've got interesting meetings, stuff I need to work on, and I'm lucky enough to generally like my job HOWEVER. HOWEVER. We keep getting closing notices for branches which are like 100 or 75 miles away and I'm just like "wibble wibble why can't we close too" I guess I wanna have my cake and nap on a couch with a pup too.

Good morning, y'all! At 1pm, I've got a meeting to kick off a pretty major project and I'm waffling between extremely chill (at my last job, I got handed a job which everyone had and was on 🔥 when I started... ) and completely on edge (holy crap this is a core piece of the institution for which I work). I'd appreciate good vibes!

The overall approach recommended is grassroots action under leadership of affected communities, especially POC, and with grounding in how existing systems cause these crises. I’d recc it even for folks like me who learned this stuff at various points because it’s useful to see a thing one learned in pieces systematize/could be a good ref/could be a good gift for friends/fam who are idealistic. It’s by a white dude which made me 😒but it works.

Called No More Heroes. It’s about privilege, big picture, and a high level look at the dangers of good intentions, an overall review of things like “how/why Teach For America is a neoliberal scab program which breaks up teachers unions” or “why sex worker ‘trafficking rescue’ campaigns are a destructive mess” etc. review of lots of bad stuff as examples for bigger principles. It’s the book 18-yo me needed. It’s the lessons of my 20s.

Hydration reminder on main! I just realized my current headache is dehydration, so sharing.

"what an actualized thing to do" 😆 I think my MIL thinks I may be a little off this...

I really love this recipe @americanoonline shared with me! I’ve never made a bread that wasn’t a special sweet bread like zucchini or gingerbread loaf. But I want to move toward baking real breads. This was simple, is tasty, mixes super fast, and boosted my confidence! 5 ingredient beer bread.

Mix 3c flour, 4.5 tsp baking powder 1/4 c brown sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 12oz beer thoroughly. Put in 9” x 5” greased dish Bake 375F, 44-55 min. https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/5-ingredient-beer-bread/
