A chicken pot pie but it has pineapples in it.

@shekinahcancook that seems to be the consensus of how it should play out.

@shekinahcancook yes! That sounds like it would work.

Just got asked on a survey if my library intended to implement blockchain technology. I can't with today and I've been at my desk for four minutes.

Here's the thing: the censorship issue doesn't just affect school and public libraries. It affects you too. If they succeed in getting books pulled from libraries and librarians fired or prosecuted, they won't stop at libraries. They're going to move on to book stores and your home book shelves. And then they're going to move on to speech outside of books that they don't like. They're not going to be satisfied at just stopping a few book checkouts and taking a few jobs at the library you don't even use, so it doesn't affect you. When your speech on the internet is monitored and "corrected," and when what you say out loud is criminalized, maybe you'll see that it affects you. It starts with getting an LGBTQ book off a public library shelf. It ends with the death of free speech. Don't let it come to that.

@llamajester421 queer people remain an easy target, unfortunately. And it never ever stops there.

I'm sure everyone in Library Land has seen this by now, but I figured I'd post it for my non-library followers. John didn't get deep into all of the legislation that is being proposed and passed in places like Florida to criminalize or terminate the employment of librarians for doing their jobs and choosing books for collections. It's bad out there, kids. If you want to stop this, stand up for libraries when they are attacked. Join school and library boards. Talk openly about the dangers of censorship; don't let your pro-censorship friends and acquaintances go unchallenged. If this isn't happening at your library, it's coming.

Overslept by about 20 minutes so I’m starting the day behind. No breakfast for me this morning, I guess.

@shekinahcancook I woke up after going to sleep early and was up for quite a while and it messed me up. Today's going to be... an adventure.

So, like... how kosher is this, or not? I mean, it's pig protein, but it's not pig?

@serge @shekinahcancook Fair enough. I think either way, it's going to take a lot to get me, and most people, to eat frankenfood, though.

Somebody commiserated with me and I feel a little better. Not completely, but a little. There's power in someone confirming that yes, that does suck.

@purplepadma That's good to hear. Some people are obsessed with positivity but being validated goes SO far.

I'm a wreck today.

@purplepadma Thanks. Depression and ADHD are wrecking me today.

@purplepadma True. I've been struggling to look forward to things. It's just mostly dread right now.

Many thanks to Biscuit, who jumped over my keyboard, instead of walking on it, and landed right in my plate of food. Good job, little buddy.

Fight for your libraries. Don’t let them take away your library by defunding it out of providing vital services. Don’t let them shackle the library with rules meant to prevent the right people from getting the right book to change their life. Don’t let them close the doors, because you know they will never open again. Fight for the freedom to read and explore new ideas. Fight against censorship and denying people the materials their souls need. If a library closes, it will never open again. You couldn’t create libraries today. You want to loan out books? And people will just willingly give them back? Are you mad? Naïve, perhaps? Once a library closes its doors, it’s over. The book banners have won. Do not let them win. Fight for libraries. Fight for library workers. Fight for patrons. Fight for free people reading freely.

I deserve this Pittsburgh salad. Again. I deserve every Pittsburgh salad I have. I am worthy of French fries and too much dressing desecrating perfectly good greens.

@shekinahcancook It is.
