the fact that they have free, unmonitored internet access that allows queer & trans teens to look at totally revolting queer stuff without their parents finding out!

just stopped at this intersection right before my house and waved at this guy whose always there who i sometimes give change to and then he stood up as a car pulled up next to me. i look over and it’s a car full of guys in creepy clown makeup (i guess they were juggalos maybe? there are supposed to be a lot of them in michigan, right? but i’ve never seen one before) they all had open...

i started listening to “cemetery gates” by the smiths while i was running and have just been listening to it on repeat since.
…so maybe this is indicative of the fact that i’m a huge librarian nerd, but i hear this song and i think it’s about the importance of proper citation. and an awkwardly fun date at the cemetery, but, like, the whole point (and fun) of the...

Odofemi: Xtra Exposed →
ftmark:
This afternoon I happened to be sitting on a train on the way home from a conference when I overheard a conversation. My friends and I tried to ignore the people who were talking loudly, until we heard one of them nearly shout, “We’re not transphobic!” A silence fell over me and my…

Debut piece by Monica Maldanado on the Cisnormativity blog!
Um, wow! This is the best press coverage I’ve gotten in a while!
this article is great!
odofemi asked: I have the entire Cremaster cycle on my external harddrive. I was watching it with my ex a lot, but we never ended up finishing it. I need to get around to finishing watching it. We should watch some of it next time we're in the same city. :)

confessions of a fangirl: “i really wish to meet... →
some girl stole my diary from grade 7 and posted it on the internet. that’s the only explanation for how she was able to reach into my 13 year old soul and describe my teenage love for hanson in such detail. also, this essay is really good. but mostly, hanson:
“I think I am officially obsessed. Obsessed over the Hanson brothers. Every other minute is concentrated on them, their...

today's #1 reason i love my public library
super hero comix! i recently got hooked into runaways at the suggestion of a friend but had to wait till the weekend was over to get the next volume—i have it now and am so excited to read it. how did i somehow miss that part of childhood where other kids started reading comix? like, this should have been happening 20+ years ago.

a few weeks ago, i send an email to the hennepin county attorney and assistant attorney asking them to drop the charges against cece mcdonald and they just sent me a response today. it’s not like i thought they were going to get my email and say, “oh yeah, he’s right,” and change their minds like that, but i hoped that recieving lots of thoughtful calls and emails from...

one of my coworkers just called me “she” (and “mrs. plum” cause apparently she and i are both “mrs. plum” because we’re both wearing purple sweaters) in front of a bunch of other coworkers (and did not even catch herself) and it sent me into a mini panic. this happens with patrons occasionally, but has never happened with a coworker at either of my...
there are a lot of things i really love about being single, and sometimes it’s really nice to have the whole bed to myself, but sometimes i think i could sleep more peacefully if there was someone to be the little spoon and sometimes i have to use a pillow as a fake little spoon or else i can’t fall asleep

you know when you turn in a 17 page paper that you just wrote (like i just did!!!) and you’re reading it over and it totally rules and you somehow made a really boring & dumb subject seem interesting & smart…
…[trigger warning: abuse] then you remember that fucking piece of shit who used to tell you you were stupid and call you a liar when you wouldn’t say...
i decided to avoid facebook for a week earlier today and i think it just means that i’m wasting more time on tumblr and finding other kind of boring internet things to waste time on like checking the stats on my librarian blog (srsly, if wordpress didn’t make it so easy to see how many people read my blog, i probably wouldn’t have wondered and wouldn’t now be wondering who...

lemons?
i had this weird sex dream last night where someone was squeezing lemons on my junk—it was about the hottest thing ever in the dream cause the person was, like, gently squeezing kind of cold lemon halves while holding them against me, then gently licking off the juice as it trickled down—it was completely random/outside of the realm of stuff i’m normally into, but it was the...
