Y’all I saw a screener of Shang Chi three weeks ago and it was fucking TORTURE waiting for the Shang Chi x Katy shippers to join me because no one else had seen it yet and NOW WE ARE EMERGING LIKE THOSE SOUL SUCKERS I FEEL SO ALIVE
I saw an early screener of ANNETTE and y’all I have THOUGHTS
But the biggest thing I came away with was Adam Driver singing while going down on Marion Cotillard
Hidilyn Diaz bags Philippines’ first-ever gold medal after placing first in the women's 55kg weightlifting competition!!
do you guys wanna hear the latest drama among librarians across the country
Ask and I shall deliver
Okay so the latest drama is apparently there is a man calling across random libraries across the country and he’s asking for information on a court case specifically Brady v Maryland and when he calls he claims he doesn’t have a computer so he asks for the case to be read aloud to him
Here’s the thing. He is asking for uh not legal reasons but umm because he well….he well…he’s yknow 😳 And he’s called multiple libraries and done this and the FBI is supposedly involved and can’t catch this pervert that’s just calling libraries and getting off on librarians reading about some random court case
And apparently the dude called my work! And I wasn’t there for it but they put him on hold cause they were like “is it him…” so they got a male coworker to answer the phone and he immediately hung up and like hdjdhsjshhs?!? What is happening!!
I TALKED TO HIM. He is absolutely masturbating while you read the court case. He has hit MULTIPLE libraries ACROSS the country. He’s called my library twice and another local library last week.
So if you get a blocked number asking you to read Brady v Maryland wiki article while he “writes it out by hand,” hang up. Log it, tell your managers.

This is a creepier more white collar version of the wonderbread bimbo guy
Welcome to life in libraryland.
In my first library job after grad school, I had a patron call up who wanted to find out if he could get help researching something on the Internet. Given that this was around 2001-2002, it’s not an abnormal request–a lot of people, even to this day, need help using a computer/accessing the Internet.
But then the guy tells me he wants to research penis enlargement.
Cue 23-year-old me freaking out a little and being (gently but still) laughed at by my (male) branch manager when I told him about this call.
The worst part? I had to call him back, after talking to my manager, and tell him that I would help him get familiar with the computer, but then I would leave him to research whatever he wanted.
AND THE GUY ACCEPTED THAT AND CAME IN.
Ever since then, I have refused to put up with this kind of nonsense. So anyone calling like the above-referenced guy gets hung up on.
I worked at a library in college and the elder states women librarians I worked under had some STORIES.
The one that sticks with me the most is how closeted gay people used to hook up before the internet. There was a designated book in a designated stack and if you put your name and location on a designated page.
Also at a college library, one of those “bucket” list items would be to do it in the stacks. Because yeah.
ah yes my favourite trope
Lorelai is always right!
Gilmore Girls's Luke Danes vs. Ginny & Georgia's Joe
aka Listen, as a fan of Luke and a shipper of Luke/Lorelai, does Ginny & Georgia not expect me to immediately latch onto their version of the "restaurateur with a fondness for plaid and for a certain spunky single mother"?
