once again, I do wish there was a stated public covid position that wasn't either "it's a made up problem and vaccines don't work" or "it's literally airborne HIV and also vaccines don't work". Seems like there's room there for something else!

currently buying eggs for ten times what I bought eggs for 3 years ago. feeling normal about it and definitely not actively numbing my feelings in order to function

as a kid I used to say "neither are u" and no one thought it was funny and it turned me into the dark sadistic twisted person I am today who lets people say "excuse me" when they sneeze instead of saying bless you sometimes cuz sometimes I feel weird about. The blessing thing? Idk it's a lot

Something I as a tech services librarian recommend: As soon as you hear about a forthcoming book you’d like to borrow, go to your library’s catalog and try to place a hold.
