I’ve been making grilled cheese sandwiches my entire life in the microwave or toaster oven, and now I’m suddenly getting grief from friends and family that it’s not “real grilled cheese”. Come on, it’s all just melted cheese on bread!

Important slides from today's ACIP meeting: The burden of COVID-19 associated death is similar to or exceeds that of other pediatric vaccine-preventable diseases, with COVID-19 being a leading cause of death among kids under 5. Vaccination cam help prevent these severe outcomes.

I had a stress dream last night that I had to do a literature search about sandwiches. My first thought when I woke up was that I need for check if “turkey sandwich” is a MeSH term.

I think it might be time for a vacation.

Thank you to @MCPL_Libraries for being a haven this year to a stressed, tired mom who loves to see her son finding joy in books and the amazing space of public libraries. To all public library staff out there, thanks for all you do. #libraries

As yet another COVID surge hits my area, an elderly family member has COVID, and a vaccine STILL isn’t available for my toddler, I have to remind myself of things that make me happy. One thing that never fails to make me smile: public libraries.

And he always goes straight towards the bag of library books after dinner to have me read whatever star-themed book I got him that week (and sing twinkle twinkle 50 times).

@LibKristin Oh wow I was basically in one of the last cohorts to even learn Dialog searching, and I remember being terrified to use it (even with the practice account). Glad that pricing model has mostly died!

Also that corporation was awful but kinda brilliant.
