Reminds Me Of That Time When Cassandra Exploded. And Like... The Whole Characterisation Of The Slitheen.

genuine message to 13 y/o me. Though puberty is a bitch

reminder to self: life is rarely as serious as we make it out to be

It all adds up.

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

YESSSS!

you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.

Hear me out: The Greek Class as Tarot Cards. Bunny was perfect for The Hanged Man, sacrifice and stagnation are his whole deal.

Can you guess what Henry will be 🤭

So I started my animal crossing island again, cause I needed the breathing room but guys... I think I broke it. I got Sasha, Ketchup AND Reneigh on my island in the first week.

I have been blessed by the Animal Crossing GODS!

Two cute babies

their cool big sister 😘

I also have Goose, but I don't want to talk about it 😆

I fear I'm not meant for adult life.

I want to collect my trinkets, invest in cosy blankets, drink lots of coffee and read lots of books. Is that too much to ask?

In other news, I had to deal with taxes today. That may or may not be related.

How very depressing that Neil Gaiman had trended not even a tiny bit for demonstrating what a fucking horrific person he is.

As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.

Neil Gaiman Seeks $500,000 From Accuser Caroline Wallner

The author says Wallner broke her NDA by sharing her story with the media, including with New York Magazine.

He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.

He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.

Share the story. Put it on Facebook and bluesky and whatever else you're on. Make it clear what a horrifying person he is. Tell your friends. He's paying Edendale a fortune to try and cover this up. Make this hard for him. Make it cost him money.

Since I've had the time, I've been going through my own personal shit to do with mental health - the aftermath of my childhood SA, for a start, and what thought patterns and beliefs I could unlearn from them. Won't go too much into it, but damn there's been a lot to unravel recently...

In the meantime, I've been having several dreams involving a certain Mr. Neil Gaiman - a naïvely placed favourite of mine. And in short, I just want to say;

Everything about him makes me deeply uncomfortable now especially considering what I've pushed away and not dealt with for so long.

It might seem like I'm making it personal but there are thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of women and girls in the world who go through this awful fucking shit on a daily basis and I've just about had enough of it.

You might be pleased to know I screamed and yelled and fucking got every last little thing out that I had to. I'm proud dream me had the courage to stand up to such a disgusting man, even if it was in my head. Nobody, but nobody should be put through the shit he's pulled. And damn it was cathartic even in my subconscious to completely destroy him. It felt like a little bit of closure for me at least. Then the news that's come out about his NDAs??? Suing people?? Honestly just choke.
