If u ever feel bad about yourself know that today at work I got so invested in a debate we were having surrounding whether social media was a good or a bad thing, that I loudly exclaimed "there's no library writing group that wants to read about my two favourite fictional guys kissing" and then had to exist while everyone stared at me like I'd grown two heads

#you would think this was a made up story from 2014 but this is in fact my life #i work with pretty straight laced dudes too so. this will forever haunt me #i was just so sick of the argument that all my interests could he matched by people i could meet in my local community #and to be clear i LOVE my local community i go to my local libraries book club once a month and have coffee with the old ladies who run it #and im about to start going to a weekly dance club run by my community #but online spaces offer me a different type of interaction with different types of communities i struggle to find irl #was the point i should have made #instead i said thus

You know, you just KNOW that it's a good fucking book when after you finish it, you put it down and remain in a silent melancholic fog like....

There was beauty in the idea of freedom, but it was an illusion. Every human heart was chained by love.

Birbna going through a molt... Maybe she'd let you help her with pin feathers. You ought to be very careful - they hurt when disturbed. But if you open the pins gently, you can free the stuck feathers and soothe the pain. Brushing Birbna's wings with a soft hairbrush, only to find out later that many birds only trust their mates to preen them anywhere but the head.

she tries not to let you see, not to force you to bear witness to this... mess. Binah knows she's hideous now, a warped beast of feathers and eyes and claws. you shouldn't have to deal with this. it's her burden to bear, her punishment

but alas, you're perceptive, as you always were, following the scattered feathers to where she's tucked herself away, hunched over and scratching erratically at her skin. she stiffens when you approach, then slowly slumps and extends one of her wings at your gentle request, trembling when you begin to carefully run your fingers through the feathers

you use the utmost care as you straighten bent feathers and remove loose ones, Binah leaning more and more of her weight on you until she abruptly sweeps her wings around you for a close hug. you're so gentle with her, so sweet and delicate despite how she's a monster now. or, more of a monster than she was. her claws run through her feathers, plucking a particularly glossy one with an iridescent sheen and pressing it into your hands. you'll keep it, won't you? to show that you're hers, and she's yours?

#project moon #lobotomy corp #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #birbna is love birbna is life #big distorted bird lady needs love too #it'd be sweet if she eventually partially undistorted #binah with feathers in her hair and a feathered cloak #little feather patches and talon-like hands #but she can still give you her familiar smile #oh what if distorted binah learned to speak #that'd be nice

#OTD 1934: Ella Fitzgerald Debuts at Amateur Night at the Apollo! First Lady of Song AND Civil Rights activist By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

On the evening of November 21, 1934, 17 year-old Ella Fitzgerald took the stage on Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and launched her longtime career as the “First Lady of Song.” She sang for presidents, was the first Black woman to win a Grammy (she won 13 Grammy awards) and sold over 40 million albums. 

She was also a Civil Rights activist who used her talent to break racial barriers. In recognition of her work she was awarded the NAACP Equal Justice Award and the American Black Achievement Award. The National Archives holds records documenting the discrimination she faced -- and fought.

Ella Fitzgerald et al v. Pan Am: Racism or “honest mistake”? On tour in 1954 en route to a concert in Australia she was denied the right to board a Pan American flight. She had to spend three days in Hawaii before other transportation to Australia could be secured, and she missed her concert dates.

She sued Pan Am, claiming racism and seeking financial compensation. Pan Am claimed it was “an honest mistake” due to a reservation mix-up. The district judge dismissed the complaint, but the plaintiffs appealed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed that decision, ruling in favor of the plaintiffs.

New York Times, 12/31/1954.

Occupational hazards of librarianship no one warned me about:

-absentmindedly trying to move my grocery cart like it's a library cart after work

#library carts can move 360 degrees easily #most grocery carts cannot #i nearly took out an old lady the other night #grocery carts also cannot be trailed behind one like an obedient pet #librarians of tumblr #librarians #libraries
