sometimes i see a post that has inaccurate information about libraries and sometimes i contemplate correcting them but then i don’t

actually this is a specific post i’ve seen circulating on my dash for a few months. i’m not blaming anyone for reblogging it but i think a lot of people don’t know enough about what a library is

getting a card is great, don’t get me wrong. but not using it isn’t good. yes, we can run reports that say how many cards were made in a year and we report it to our board (which the mayor is part of and the mayor has a big say in our budget -- see the cuts to nyc library funding by eric adams). but it’s bad if no one is using the cards. we do track circulation (items that are checked in/out, are lost or go missing, etc.), and if no one is taking out items that looks bad for our acquisitions budget. is there a manga series you like that’s 1000 issues long and still ongoing? if our budget gets cut we might not buy new books in the series. if you don’t use the ebook services we provide (libby, overdrive, etc.) those go away. if you don’t come to programs, program budgets get cut. if you. don’t keep track of what’s going on in your library, things you do not want to happen might happen anyway. go to the library. get to know the librarians, because if something comes up they will tell you about it. they might tell you that they’re holding a board meeting because a book was challenged by another patron. go to that board meeting to object to the challenge. and if you can’t physically go, get it in writing. e-mail the director -- you can find their email on the library website or somewhere on the internet. public librarians work for the public -- our info is out there. the director will read the email at the board meeting.

being an active member of the library is so much more than getting a card. not every library is great at outreach (my library is working on it, but we’re a small town, too), so sometimes you need to go to the website or call the library and ask. we’re more than happy to help. we want people in the library. it’s how we justify our existence, especially now when the far right really hates us and thinks we’re all pedophile indoctrinating children and will do anything to defund us. bigots are loud -- you have to be louder.

we all agree that book bans are bad and libraries closing are bad. but you have the power to stop it. and yeah, budgets are sometimes cut because there’s nothing else the library can do, but showing you actually want the library and the resource it provides to be around is important. i cannot overstate how much your voice matters. it matters over the staff, honestly, and i have a literal degree in library science. so i’m using my grad school knowledge to tell you to actually use and advocate for your public library

Use your card like you are on a shopping spree with unlimited funds!

See what other items/services your library offers with your card! Databases for research, music, movies (mine has whole ass streaming service I can checkout for a short time!), tools, toys, games, learning services, mobile hotspots, you never know what awesome services and materials your library has!

Ask you library staff, they will be so happy to tell you!

This image is the perfect representation of the current zeitgeist

when people are like “the hunger games just stole the plot of battle royale” like listen everything steals from the plot of everything the lion king is just furry hamlet westworld is jurassic park but sexier lost is edgy gilligan’s island there are no original stories and the only good piece of media is jennifer’s body

Michael crichton wrote westworld and jurassic park tho so he just pirated himself

michael crichton keeps TRYING to tell y’all about the evils of capitalism impeding on the progress of science when will y’all LISTEN

Maybe he just doesn’t like theme parks

michael crichton in line for a roller coaster at six flags: fuck this

Jesus Christ, that’s the height at which every rollercoaster and dark ride is a decapitation threat

r2-d2 is poisoning the youth!

people saying they feel bad about reporting the new pornbots because the URLs are so good. i dont. i want to report them even harder. the URL pointless-soap needs to be liberated and reappropriated by the people

GUESS WHO'S FREE MOTHERFUCKERS

I think the most unintentionally pretentious part of me is I genuinely forget that most people do not have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of mythology and folklore. I literally just assume most people know at least the name of every Greek god. My mom and I were watching the Banshees of Inisherin and at the start, she asked "Do you know what a banshee is?" and I was so stunned because it would never occur to me to ask that question because I would never assume the average person doesn't know what a banshee is. The average person knows what a banshee is right. You know what a banshee is right. You know the names of the greek gods right. You know that norse myth where loki fucked the horse right. Right. RIGHT

i’m so good at being bisexual (i can’t tell when women hit on me)

Shocking! This Beautiful Man Fucked His Way into the Alderaanian Royal Family After His Smuggling Career Failed!

Like, that's not even wrong, though. Yeah, the way it's written like a tabloid headline is hilarious, but it's not wrong. That's basically literally exactly what happened.

No, it’s so true and that’s the funny part. Leia could have had any man or women or alien in the galaxy if she so pleased and she chose a guy 13 years older than her who lived in a sewer for the first two decades of his life and spent most of his adulthood running drugs for a slug. A man who’s greatest skills are giving head and running from the cops. And you know what? I would have picked him too.

Petition to the Government of Canada to grant asylum to transgender and non-binary people from any country that has laws hostile to them, including countries historically considered “safe” such as the UK and the USA.

You must be Canadian to sign, but please share

@allthecanadianpolitics

actually important addition, remember to check your email to confirm you signed it. If you hit sign and close the tab you did not actually sign the petition.

This is no small potatoes change.org petition. I know people online like to go ‘dhurr hurr petitions never work’ but this is the house of commons of canada. any petition that reaches 100,000 signatures must be read in parliament and addressed.

We’re already at almost 19000/100,000 and we have until the end of May. We can do this.
