What doesn't kill me makes me more sarcastic.

@Aria124634 Hatch Hutch hunch hearth… the list goes on.

That profound misery when the heels of your socks don’t line up with the heels of your feet…

I’m scrolling through shelter cat photos like I’m on Tinder.

@rebeccamakkai I'm in--what a great idea!

My Dominican mom was not a big reader, but I love reading about the DR. In her honor: The Feast of the Goat by Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa tells the story of dictator Rafaél Trujillo, "el chivo." Mom fled his regime in the early '60's.

@LousyLibrarian My library established “neighborhoods” years ago. The idea was that someone traveling to Cancún would want a travel guide, a Spanish phrase book, a taco night cookbook, and a Ricky Martin CD (even though he’s Puerto Rican.) It turned out they only wanted a travel guide.

A number of libraries have gone fines-free including my own, but we all want to see our comrades at the National Archives impose and collect the biggest fine ever on #45 for not returning 11 boxes of items!

@WannabeTecLib Hey, ALA—
The shoemaker’s kids go barefoot, and we librarians have the worst, most inaccessible, and disorganized website for our professional organization.

I am hoping my post-menopausal cronehood will be productive and creative, at least in terms of casting spells, dispensing wisdom, lighting a bunch of candles, rescuing cats, and posting useful product reviews on vendor websites.

@rebeccamakkai “Hope this email finds you. Hope you find yourself.”

“Friends with benefits” when you’re 50-something means getting a ride to and from your colonoscopy.

@doodlyroses I sometimes front-load my to-do list with things I’ve already done—doesn’t matter how long ago—it makes me feel like a strong, robust pioneer. I also have a “Honey Do” list on my fridge even though I have nobody remotely resembling a life partner, but I can still nag them.

I suspect a number of “plant-based” foods are actually “chemical-based.” I’m looking at you, non-dairy creamer.

Happy New Fiscal Year to those who celebrate!

Officially calling the judicial branch SCROTUS from this day on.

Guess it’s time to shop for a red cape and white hood.

A classic American summer is about hot dogs and ice cream, concerts in the park, jumping into the pool, going to a baseball game. And standing in line for at least 45 minutes in the hot sun and even hotter asphalt for any of those.

I need a fresh cardigan.

[Librarian Tish @LibrarianTish]

Whenever I feel subversive and sassy, I like to shop with another store’s reusable bags.

[Librarian Tish @LibrarianTish]

@LousyLibrarian You should get comp time for that.
