Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I’ve seen that theory floated to explain the “help wanted” signs at fast food places that never come down.
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

And sometimes those recommendations get implemented in awful ways in public buildings. And that’s why my office will be hot and humid when I get to work on Monday–the A/C gets turned off over the weekend and it takes forever to catch up on Monday. Never mind that I work in a library and books do not deal well with changing temperature and (especially) high humidity.
I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(
I still get that when I buy things secondhand, from Mercari, Abe books, or other online thrift stores. I’m waiting for a cute tokidoki vinyl figure to show up. Maybe this week, maybe next. Who knows?
They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
Must end in an even number or 5, but cannot end in 4 or 6.
And iirc the historical reason it’s not disrespectful for women to keep their hat on is that hats were much more integrated into women’s hairdos. So, it’d be a whole production of removing hat pins, re-arranging curls, etc.
That’s quite fair. People don’t tend to react well to becoming suddenly not-high. I don’t even react well to becoming suddenly not-asleep.
The Rhode Island Department of Health was giving away free Narcan at Providence Pride this weekend, so I picked some up. I’ll keep it on hand in just in case someone needs it. Go fuck yourself :)
Everyone else: Narcan’s readily available in states and there’s very little risk to administering it. It’s a spray up the nose.
(eta: context. My brother overdosed and you pretty much wished that others experience the same pain.)
My grandma watched Fox News and wasn’t a moron. To be fair, she was also wicked deep into her dementia.
Or set off the fire alarm by vaping in the bathroom. I hated when teen boys did that. It was always belligerent teen boys.
I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.
Well, it’s more public than your own home and everyone there consented to being around potential strangers having sex. Consent is sexy!
Yes, but my local dungeon closed during the pandemic so I don’t know where to point folks anymore. I’d check on FetLife if I were you. There’s also the Queer Liberation Library if you’re in America and looking for “objectionable” reading material online.
And I’ve never been hip with the drug scene, as I imagine the young’uns say.
As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I’m of two minds.
I’ve seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.
If you’re going to overdose, I’d rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you’re going to engage in public sex please don’t do it around people that aren’t into that. There are private clubs for that.
It was surprisingly easy to get my dextroamphetamine prescription through a (local) telehealth doctor. Of course, I know I have ADHD because I’m not addicted to the meds and, in fact, keep forgetting to take then.
The cheese stands alone
My dad used to disable the motherboard speaker because the noises games made back then were more annoying than fun. We eventually got a soundcard, and that was awesome.
MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.
I know! It should be “hot diggity dog”.
