@CAwkward @LeahJaclyn Have you gotten to the point where Robert Jordan starts to just relentlessly indulge his spanking fetish and just WHY

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@CAwkward "I was staring into the distance, and you happened to be in the way"

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@CAwkward "All the feelings and accumulated genre indicators in the world don’t override his choice" is a very useful summary of an issue it seems many people have

@RDS_623 @yngthgw Man, have we gotten so old that we're going "kids these days are so lazy! Back in my day, we had to learn about 8tracks uphill in the snow and we liked it!"

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

when I sign off an email with “regards” it means I regard you as my foe; one or the other of us will have to go.

@GrammarTable Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing! Hours every week! But it was fun, and I'm so glad I did it. I've impressed some of my students when I type without looking

@APierdinock @liblarrian I always start citation discussions with the why: Giving credit, Showing authority, Helping your reader find the sources; & then use that last one to be like "therefore we have formatting rules to make clear what source it is," that's the purpose of the Rules

@artiemhartsell @melhuman My hope is that as the weather turns warmer and we can go for long outdoor walks, we'll start feeling a little better.

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@artiemhartsell @melhuman Isolation+COVID stress+SAD+cold weather causing increased isolation.
I can't go sit in the park for hrs & observe other humans. I can't sit in my parents backyard and wave at them through the window while the dogs have zoomies. The sky is grey & sad

@jcMenendez @philorphilip What kills me is that long pause after the "I--I'm not a cat"

@Lunar_Lena @aboutameerah @such_hockey_wow @redditships Including, like, all the weird psychosexual ideas. And we had to read one of his case studies where he's the most condescending misogynist. And no one would listen that he was W R O N G.
It was certainly something, and that something was awful lol

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@Lunar_Lena @aboutameerah @such_hockey_wow @redditships What was so emphasized in my actual psych classes was that he started good, and then basically sold out to the patriarchy b/c of peer pressure. But literary psychoanalytic theory was like "we will take his every word completely seriously"

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@CAwkward "don’t marry someone who makes you cry all the time" is, uh, good advice, and by my life experience, would extend that also to "don't be friends with someone who makes you cry all the time." That's a lesson I learned the hard way

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@mann_ey @CAwkward Yeah, even in the summer I wear bike shorts under, and also prefer skirts that are at least knee length, or ideally maxi skirt length, so I can not think about how I move

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@AskAManager At least, beyond not ruining my health by making me sit all the time!

[Emily Rose Johnson @ALibraryKnight]

@AskAManager "Mr. Zhang said it was the responsibility of human resources to keep an eye on the health of the staff, saying, “We now have a tool that can help HR maintain the health of workers.”'
WHAT NO IT'S NOT, MY EMPLOYER SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY HEALTH

The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

When Republicans say "Election Fraud" they simple mean that too many Black People voted.
