Actual email I sent out today

To: Ms. Fifth Grade

Subject: context for the screaming in the hall

I was looking for a teacher and Brixton told me where I would most likely find her. I thanked him and left. I have no idea why this prompted Johnstyn to run into class yelling “BRIXTON GOT REJECTED!”

Sorry for the absolute chaos that followed.

Regards,

Ms. Cat

Highlight of the day: listening to teens inadvertently create a hodgepodge Arthurian Legend/Biblically inspired game of DnD with Chess pieces at work.

They were absolutely supposed to probably be revising or doing some homework, but their story telling was wonderful. As was their infectious enjoyment.

I'll make casual small talk with a patron and then go back to my desk like "Oh my god that was crazy I can't believe I did that. That was insane. Holy shit I did it" every time

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first! #my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped! #no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different. #to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life! #but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!! #my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘 #i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful. #and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

Winter. It's beautiful. It's foggy windows and hot sips of coffee. It's dark academia books and soothing music. It's sad poetry and cute scarfs. It's an angry sky with a romantic moon. It's the villain who is usually misunderstood. It's chaotic. It's calm. It's winter. It's beautiful.

But this is wrong, nobody dies from lack of sex. It’s lack of love we die from.

As much as I would LOVE for my first grade group to sit down and be quiet, I find it concerning when that's all one of the boys wants to do today. Especially when we're playing with magnets.

And the counselor's out today, too.

He said he was fine, but I still let him lie down and read on the window seat since he didn't even feel like coloring. Hope it's just the Valentine's Blues and not something more serious.

#MiniatureMonday

Fairy Tales From Grimm / by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm with introduction from L. Frank Baum

The Fairy Tales from Grimm is a collection of children's stories written by the Grimm brothers, many of which have been popularized by Disney. This miniature book includes several stories such as the tale of Snow White.

Although the stories were originally published in the 1800s, this copy was produced in 1905. What makes it fantastic is the illustrations in both color and black and white. These drawings beautifully help bring the stories to life.

Today I had to look up a movie for somebody, and I had only had the first half of the title

Nothing could have emotionally prepared me for 'and then the bigfoot'

a very old lady called the reference desk and asked how many uninhabited islands there were in the world. being a diligent librarian i said MANY! and then asked if she was interested in any region of the world in particular because wow what a question, better narrow it down. she said no, that her ex husband used to say he wanted to go live alone on an island and she wanted to make sure he could find one. i told her he had hundreds of thousands of options and she said "good." and wished me a pleasant day and is honestly the most iconic woman of our time.
