Hey so I don't know how many people might be seeking a relatively low-paid job* at a very inclusive library in a mildly welcoming town, but my local library is expanding its physical premises and is now also hiring a new library clerk. This position is full time, doesn't require advanced degrees, and comes with good benefits and, if it's like my civil service job, also comes with a guaranteed pay raise of 2-3% every year.

*a bit less than 35K per year

Anyway my upstate NY people please spread this around!

Damn. A struggling small town newspaper. In print for 150+ years. But tariffs on Canadian products meant their paper costs 25% more now. That was the final nail in the coffin. The Cortland Standard, one of the 5 oldest family-owned newspapers in the USA, is shuttering.

My family WERE thinking of getting tickets for the Premier League Summer Series, where they play some games in the USA just for fun. But the good seat tickets were like $800 and the bad seat tickets are too high up! (My dad and my sister both very afraid of heights.)

So instead we're going to see a USA women's professional football (soccer) league game. Tix are between $12 and $53. Much more reasonable. :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: allowing companies to name stadiums after themselves was a horrible mistake.

Observation: 99% of the time, "[Group X] is so unified, why can't we be like them?" is based on a false premise. Group X is not that unified.

My mom got this for me and yeah

@AnarchoNinaWrites @blogdiva You're all different!

YES! WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT!

(I'm not)

SHUT UP!

Pro-tip: when reading "transgender ban" simply substitute "underpants police" and whatever statement you're reading will be more accurate.

Boosty boost! BOOST. BOOSTING.

Boost the house down boots!

From the ridiculous to the sublime... And back again.

@AnthonyJK Yeah actually that exact phrase has been said to me more than once when I received a gift of some kind--not always money--that I wasn't expecting and knew I could never repay.

@AnthonyJK It always goes both ways, just not over the shortest timescales. I used to be the one asking for help, for years on end. Now I don't need it and can even donate sometimes. That's the foundation of mutual aid imo.

@mcc Ya mean your luxury mouth bones? Yep.

@rejinl Naturally! Proud to say I hated Jay-Z before it was cool. His flow was always crap.

Jay-Z to teach people in Marcy projects about Bitcoin. But WHAT is he going to teach them?? Suspicious as fuck.

Mood for president's day and for all time: Do Keum-Yeun, a Korean woman who spent years fighting to keep the USA military from taking her community's land:

1) There was a talk at my local library about the history of transgender medicine in the USA. Given by a doctor who has a practice here.

2) My mom went. She said it was packed, standing room only.

3) Mom signed up to provide free temporary housing for trans people who travel from far away to get treatment at the clinic.

P.S. If you want more details about the town, the library, or the clinic, feel free to DM me.
