i am begging freelancers and remote workers to consider working at the library instead of a cafe- what do you think it’s like to be a pet. things just happen to you for no explainable reason. now you’re being lifted into the air. now you’re being scolded for… urinating? now you’re wearing a hat and there’s a cake on fire in front of you. what can you do
- Replying to @RyanFMandelbaumwhy should you do that? because our libraries are being defunded and "quiet space to work" is one of the whole points of the library, which is free!! if there's no demand for the library then what ammo will they have against the gutting?
- one of the nicest things you can do for someone, i think, is let them get unapologetically excited about something they're passionate about, ask them engaging questions, show them that you're listening, and let them go on for as long as they want
- Replying to @eperlstemany libraries do have cafes. and if you wanted to do both, why not buy your coffee at the coffee shop and bring it to the library? many libraries are fine with you drinking beverages with lids in their sitting areas. i'm not pitting one thing against the other.
- you heard it here first folks, barred owls say defund the policeLouisiana police officer crashes after owl flies into patrol car, starts pecking at him on.ktla.com/ORBXH
- If you're just hearing about it, here's what you need to know about the #Strike4BlackLives and related #shutdownSTEM/#ShutDownAcademia movements. thanks for Gizmodo for letting me continue blogging about important things :)
- hi, reporting in from southern ecuador, i have a terrible sunburn but it was worth it to get a glimpse at the rarest bird i’ve ever seen: the blue-throated hillstar, which was discovered in 2017 and has only been found on a single mountain
- just thinking about how a single billionaire could pay three months salary to thousands if not tens of thousands of employees without putting a dent in their overall wealth
- i was driving outside calgary toward a spot for great gray owls but really had to pee so i pulled off onto a side road for some privacy and that's where the great gray owl was
- cast iron skillets can have little a soap
