This honestly sounds like a very dark comedy skit.

*waves gun around wildly*

“BAN THOSE BOOKS FROM THIS BUILDING! YOU ARE DESTROYING AND INDOCTRINATING OUR KIDS.”

“Sir, we don’t even have those books in our catalogue.”

*awkward pause*

“Oh, We, uh, didn’t check for that.”

They don’t know how to check for it because they’ve never once interacted with a public library until they realized they could go to one with weapons drawn as an excuse to play out their weird toxic masculinity fantasy.

These people want books banned but haven’t read one since they were in elementary school.

Your most important survival skill is asking for help

Goddamn preach this

"Your most important survival skill is asking for help." THIS, it makes me so damn pissed off when parents try and normalize that asking for help is a taboo thing!

my belief is that everyone who works in a restaraunt or retail should make a minimum of $25 an hour and should get a half hour break every four hours and if your boss or manager tries to make you work during your break or skips it, they get chased out of town by wild dogs

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.

I love the library

i recently went to the library, picked out a giant comfy chair in the middle of the place, sat down and just read for an hour. it was a genuinely pleasurable and cathartic experience. i highly suggest going just to be there. you don't have to check your books out and leave. hell, you don't have to check anything out at all. just browse, pick something up, start it, put it down, pick something different. just exist in a space built specifically for your community.

Libraries are a great way to spend time in public (regardless of reading/not-reading preferences)

Bc Third Spaces (places you can exist that aren't home or work/school) are endangered--and libraries are currently our most thriving species of Third Spaces. Natural characteristics of Libraries include:

  • free wifi and outlets!
  • quiet! peace and quiet!
  • comfy seating
  • not crowded!!!
  • you get to be left alone in peace! personal space is sorta sacred at a library
  • BUT there's also super friendly staff/patrons if you're feeling social.

How To Enjoy A Library (without reading anything if u don't want to):

  • pack a laptop + thermos of Beverage + maybe some snacks? and just...go and hang out. sit in a comfy chair. stream a movie on the wifi. jam out (with headphone duh) while browsing socal media (or magazines!). luxuriate in being allowed to exist! in public! without being charged by the minute.
  • (p.s. many libraries lend phone/laptop chargers, headphones, and even entire laptops. plus there's always the public desktops. if you're ever stuck with a few hours to kill...the library is comfier than the nearest starbucks)

IN CONCLUSION: libraries are just very comfy and convenient places to exist. you can go there, not glance at a single book, and still have a chill time w/ fun (and free!) public resources.

it is really wild that people are incapable of seeing children as being able to make autonomous informed decisions

for a while my family thought my sibling might be a trans girl, because they didn’t want their voice to become masculine with puberty.  my mother reached out and spoke with a someone associated with a gender pediatric clinic, who basically guided my mother about having a discussion with my sibling. my folks sat down with my sibling and asked a series of questions that were given by the gender clinic. it turns out my sibling simply didn’t want to leave the Soprano Alto choir, because they felt uncomfortable being amongst the boy’s choir. my sibling does not feel like a boy, but doesn’t actually have body or gender dysphoria. my parents found a co-ed choir for them, and they are now an extremely accomplished tenor. my sibling now considers themself as simply “androgynous.” my folks are incredibly supportive on my sibling’s choices to dress in feminine fashion as well as their opera studies.

this idea that pediatric gender clinics are here to maliciously convince children to become trans, and force them into trans affirming surgery or hormones, is ridiculous. it is also ridiculous to claim that they are trying to force labels on gender non conforming children. they are there to provide resources for gnc children and trans children, as well as parents who might be confused by what it means to be LGBT+

kids deserve respect and human rights. talk to them. listen to them. work with them.

fathers casually dropping the craziest lore of their lives in the middle of a conversation

My brother and I trying to piece together our dad’s life based on random info he casually brings up once and then never mentions again

When my great grandpa was on his deathbed my grandpa (his son) was with him and says his last words were “I told them they shouldn’t have hanged that woman. Well by damn they’re paying now” and no one in my family knows what the fuck that means

My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like, “Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she’ll be fine.” Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.

No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.

reblog if you’ve ever:

  • self-harmed 
  • attempted suicide 
  • been to a therapist 
  • cancelled on things because you don’t have the energy to live 
  • lied about being okay 
  • had a panic attack   
  • has anxiety hitting the roof 

 the world needs to know how common these things are.
