Ope! I like reading, knitting, traveling and some other things, too. I’m also a librarian, but opinions are my own. (she/her) https://youtu.be/EB0x4ui5ANw?t=05s

Just another day acting as a go-between for the library’s 80+ yo secretary and my partner as they trade tidbits about NBA news and stats.

Normally I hate being influenced, but I’m totally okay with the fact that I succumbed to this on Instagram almost instantly. From Low Level: lowlvl666.myshopify.com

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.

I want more people to make the connections.

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I complain about this to whoever answers the phone every time I take time out of my half hour lunch break to call. It’s infuriating.

@kaine.senate.gov does not want to listen to or even hear from his constituents. Utterly unacceptable.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Radical Rye in Madison, WI circa 2000. I was so poor as a college student, but could occasionally splurge on a grilled turkey BLT there and it was my favorite. I still think about the thick slices of honey oatmeal bread it was made with. Thanks for this trip down memory lane.

A defiant looking and iridescent pigeon stared at you through the camera lens. It is perched on a railing with a pond and pier at Ueno Park in the background.
