I’m a librarian. I do not like Hemingway.

This morning, a woman in my district who teaches at Oxford messaged me saying she and her colleagues who survived the shooting "need to do something more tangible than cry." Because if we continue to do nothing, this will keep happening, again and again and again and again.

@mmpadellan There’s no sense. None. And thank YOU. Love your comments, always, & this is devolving into a “you’re great” response but whatever. We all need validation and appreciation, and you certainly have mine.

@TarynStanford Oh, and that name - so visceral my reaction. I’m not kidding - I recently met a Tucker (a perfectly lovely person) but I was immediately suspicious of him. He said, “Hi, I’m Tucker” (via Zoom) and it took all my raising not to say, “Oh, sugar, bless your heart.”

[jillgrogg @jillgrogg]

@drewmorgcomedy I recently met someone named Tucker, a perfectly nice person, and I was immediately antagonistic. Suspicious. I barely refrained from saying “Bless your heart” after he told me his name.

@VitruvianMonkey @sampson_elaine We bought a new, new car (hybrid, thank you very much) for the first time in 20 years and no way I’m letting that greasy duck meat near it.
