Happy National Library Workers Day! We are so grateful for all of our 100+ staff.

DYK that we’ve scanned over 35,000 items from our collection? That’s more than 12 million pages! Take a look in our Digital Library:https://library.si.edu/books-online

OK, Tumblr.
I know we’re all still a little uncertain and overwhelmed. What can I draw to cheer you up?
Animals in renaissance costume!
The Count and Countess Flufford of Puffyshire, at your service. Now the toast of high society, they scandalised their peers years ago by marrying for love; little do they know the first thing the Countess fell in love with was his shapely legs… And for @chronomatic (though I think the above picture also counts, a couple of sketches:
I love when cats are curled up snoozing in a ball, and give you a half-acknowledging look but don’t really wake up. Also, the way they sleepily hug their own tails :)
Offer’s still open, peeps. I’m distracting myself from my snuffly woes pre-nights and I’m running out of comics to colour :)
chronomatic
*_* thank you! there use to be a bunch of super friendly felines in one of my hospital placements. I actually brought cat food for them and they would immediately wake up for when brought food.
I’m just such a sucker for cats.
I love cats, so any excuse to draw them is great ;) I’m exactly the kind of person whose phone is full of cat photos (both our cats and… just about any other cat hehe) so you can never have too many kitties! tw1st3dr0s3 said: Two foxes cuddling….and one has to be wearing a cute bow! ^_^ Forehead kisses are nice too.
Almost a proper forehead kiss, but you get two bows to make up for it :)
ifeel-wicked said: Oh ! How about Fantasy ? A cool elf or warrior :)) I love elves! I don’t see enough elves of colour, so here’s Daisy in some kind of fantasy AU where she’s an elvish warrior princess. Please excuse the bow, I completely gave up on it after a while. Her favourite colour is red, so it ended up with a kind of festive elf theme somehow?
mudphudkangaroo answered: T-rexes trying to have a knife fight. T rexes doing finger nose finger. t rexes trying to scratch the top of their heads with their arms. T rexes trying to do things stubby armed animals can’t. Thank you!
Poor T-Rexes, never anyone willing to scratch your noses, because you look so scary. We love you anyway!
Ever wondered why you never heard of T-rex fight club? It might have something to do with how long it took them to pick up a weapon every time they dropped it…
todayintokyo said: A ninja in a library. : )
I thought up lots of scenarios of ninja in libraries, but somehow ended up with a semi-self-portrait. No, I’m not at all buff, but I do have enough random scars to qualify, probably XD What use would ninja powers be, if you didn’t sneak into libraries after hours and find a choice spot to read?
@dxmedstudent Cute bunnies!
Pastel bunnies FTW. One of our friends has the cutest baby rabbits, and you just reminded me that I need to see them again!
I requested a ninja in a library (hey, we all have our fantasies, OK?), and that’s what I got! (^0^) Thanks, @dxmedstudent, it’s perfect. PS: The foxes look like Sherlock and John!
Army style canvas tote bag is the quintessential comfort accessory. It carries all of your crap without that judgmental, bulging-at-the-seams bloat your other bags experience when you try cramming your life into them

It is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (as), and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.

The top picture is showing Jeremy Corbyn.He is the leader of the Labour Party. He is constantly slammed for by the sun and the daily mail for being too left wing and is reffered to as Commie Corbyn or Comrade Corbyn for wanting nuclear disarment, social housing, increased benefits, and being against millitary action in Syria. This is him in 1984 protesting outside the south African embassy.
The Bottom picture is current Prime minister David Cameron. Often Revered by the right wing newspapers such as the Sun. For pushing through austerity measures to reduce the deficit (Spending cuts), reducing benefits for the poorest and weakest in our society, all while giving tax cuts to millionaires. This is him outside Oxford university in 1984 as a member of the bullingdon club. An exsclusive club known for trashing resturants and heavy drinking. One of the requirements to getting in was burning a 50 pound note infront of a homeless person. Aswell as other entry rituals involving a pig.
But clearly Jeremy is the bad guy here. Literally the devil incarnate.
