Library Hentut 💙⭐🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ She/Her

Oooh! Just when I was resorting to a cake sale!

Sigh.
Again, thank you so much for your match coverage.
I greatly enjoyed the sense of glee you were revelling in, in the second half.

This is a GREAT book. A surreal post-apocalyptic novel with a Greek Chorus like no other.

I BEG YOUR PARDON.
What is this?
I was about to pour a celebratory sherry. 😭

Congratulations!

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

A headline reading “Camel pageant thrown into chaos after 20 competitors disqualified for using hump-plumping injectables”

Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

Say what now?!!? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Screenshot of Merriam-Webster homepage, showing the top lookups. The first items on the list are: 1. Thrumble 2. Chargoggagoggmanchaug... 3. 800-pound gorilla N.b. item 2 is the name of a lake. Previously 49 letters long, it has recently been updated to a mere 45 letters. In full it reads: Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagunuamaugg. My condolences to your screenreader.

Sometimes I see the top lookups on the @merriam-webster.com homepage and wonder if I've missed some important news event.

I wasn't even at the Derby game yesterday and I've got Honolulu Wednesday ringing in my ears. 🦉 #WAWAW

Umbrella!

We could literally legislate this out of existence.

Lmao

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

I'd also like to nominate "SPECS OFFENDERS". Thank you, I yield my time.

Well, this snowballed alarmingly.
Well done Jessica Waite for sounding the alarm.

Strong trying-to-teach-my-parents-videocalling vibes.

I've got my fingers crossed for you all.

No idea if this helps, but as far as I'm aware libraries haven't generally been included in these processes. It's coming up to 2 weeks now so I hope you hear something concrete soon. This suspense isn't good for anyone.

Hi Sarah-Jane, I am so sorry to hear this. Has your consultantation started yet? I understand if you can't/don't want to say whether you've been put at risk. Either way, it is good to keep your cv and related info updated. 😕

EBSCO is trying to nudge all of their publishers to agree to LLM training.

Shoutout to @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social for saying no and for being transparent with these messages.

A photo of entertainers Little and Large. Large’s face has been blanked out and a question mark placed over it.

this photo leaves little to the imagination

Photo shows a hardback copy of 'Don't burn anyone at the stake today' by Naomi Alderman. It has a dramatic cartoon-like explosion style graphic on the cover, in red, yellow and orange.

Can confirm this is a barnstorming read.
Thank you so much @naomialderman.bsky.social and @biggreenbooks.bsky.social

Readers, be prepared to post-it and annotate the life out of it.

Done. Thank you for posting.
