@knitpurlcode So sorry. It sucks feeling like life is imploding every month.

I’m really not ok today. Forgot to bring my meds when we went camping last week and my period just started. Overwhelmed by the mess my house is. Zero patience for the kids. I just want to cry.

@KosherSoul May his memory be a blessing. I am sorry.

Hey everyone,sad news. My ex partner Jacob, who was instrumental in the Southern Discomfort Tou&the work that led to The Cooking Gene, passed last month at the age of 34. We were together for 9 years&he will always have a place in my heart. Goodnight HausMaus. I am heartbroken.

@Tetekenorthern1 You just describe huge swaths of the US. Saying the library systems that serve 330 million people spread over ~10 M km2 should operate like a country of 5.5 million with an area 385k km2 isn't really practical. Our state systems are operating more like your country and are feee.

@Jean_LKL While it looks geographically concentrated, there's very many small places and decentralized communes. Might look tight and easy from the outside, but there are several logistical challenges. Don't see how that's supposed to be an argument for charging for public library services

Side question: do 22+ years olds get charged for library cards in the US? They're free all your life in Norway, just saying. And yes, we should indeed run shit! 💪🏻

@Tetekenorthern1 Inter library loan is free, and it is a way I could access a resource I need from either an academic library or another state.

@Jean_LKL Not sure what point you're trying to make with the infomation about inter library loan; we offer this as well in N. Just free of charge, as any public library should be, no matter its geographical reach 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Tetekenorthern1 Keep in mind that Norway has the population on a small to mid-sized US state and is far more geographically concentrated. If I need a book my systems don't have I can get it through inter library loan. If I am physically at another library I can usually get a free day pass.

@Jean_LKL Nice! With 1 card you get free access to every public library in Norway, but still. Going in the right direction!

@throwing_shayde Those must be some kinda margaritas that I have never had.

@alabiblioheck I would say you are good to go now what a cowardly ass.

@Shelithia87 You are very much a real mom. I am sorry people and society make you feel otherwise.

@alabiblioheck Ohhhhh ugh, our district did that last year. But they made the announcement about two weeks before the original last day of school. As a working parent, that was a fun scramble.

@blacksheep_127 Naw that is it. Even my spouse who likes it can only do it about once a year.

Why do folks rave about White Castle? It’s meh at best. Soggy buns. Fries aren’t crisp. Or did I just get a bad first experience?

@katriddell Ignore that silly limit.

@thedaybooks @CatherineBooked I am a law librarian at a private firm. I definitely make more than public library I know my firm pays upper range but it isn't $120k. And I didn't get the job straight out of library school.

@CatherineBooked I mean... special library, in a director position. I can see maybe. But public library, school or academic naw. I would be tempted to ask where they got that salary information from.

@CatherineBooked What kind of library do they expect to work in?

@Simply_Rain_S So jealous!

@lis_grievances You could move into special libraries. I am with a law firm and it is a lot less people facing than public or academic libraries.

Help. I need to get the F out of libraries. My introverted neurodivergent brain thrives when I can work from home. What can I do? Any library defectors out there who still follow this account? Any suggestions? 🙃

@afrosabi It's hard to look super sharp and pressed in BDU's, which it what I see most frequently.

My dad and his fellow Vietnam era retiree buddies (of all branches) say that back in the day, Army soldiers set the standard of looking sharp in uniform. Pressed and starched plus spit shined boots etc. They all agree that today's soldiers look like dirtbags 😬 Agree?

@afrosabi My knees snap crackle and pop. You can try raising the seat on your bike. That might help. You can also do PT. Sometimes that helps or they can give you an idea if you need something more. But a doctor is likely going to send you to PT first anyway so might as well start there.

My left knee keeps popping when I do my stationary bike. It's not painful but it feels weird and gross. Do I try to fix this with specific exercise or is there some sort of medical specialist I go to? My other knee is perfectly fine.

@afrosabi @Spicy_and_Salty I don't know if you can change the seats on spin bikes, but a properly fit seat makes a world of difference on a road bike.

@Spicy_and_Salty The one that came with it. I haven't sat on it for more than 5 minutes😂😂😂

Maybe I'll give spinning another chance 😒😒😒
