Everyone who likes YA should read Nove Ren Suma—seriously, who else is doing that kind of magical realism in YA? So many incredible, outspoken feminist YA authors right now, it’s so inspiring and exciting. -signed, teen librarian.

To this I say: first, if you don’t go to sleep like a good boy/girl, Lovecraftian monsters that hunt in the halls outside your bedroom at night will steal you and gift you unto the maw of madness

Please, any other Joker than this.

....The director knows its a team that goes on suicide missions, not a team from Suicide Girls, right?

Can’t speak for all of Jez, but how exactly would I forgive Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner when I’m not angry enough (read: not angry at all) to require forgiveness?

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of butts. I don’t have kids and I don’t want kids and I don’t really like kids but I do my best to nod along supportively when people talk about their kids or show me pictures or whatever because that is basic human courtesy and also I guess it’s really nice that people love their kids? It’s…

I really want to become a librarian and actually considering it now as a complete change of pace from tech support even now at 37 with just an associates degree in law enforcement to my name. ^_^

I’m using this to teach him that there are assholes in the world and you need to learn how to deal with them. Especially when they have power over you.

I think he might have blackmail on someone because he has been bounced around the school to different grade levels. We are having a meeting between him and my student on Monday. He is (finally thank god) leaving after this year. He should have been fired years ago.

Librarians are often the unsung heroes of schools. Even when I was in Catholic school and the library was run by a septuagenarian nun, she gave me more support and encouragement than any teacher I had.

My kid’s high school does a pretty good job at this. The students are called out on any sexist/racist/homophobic bullshit 100% of the time and nothing along those lines is chalked up to “kids being kids.” Gay teachers share their stories on Ally Day, and two kids have come out in front of everyone at assemblies and…

We watched this video in class on Wednesday night and it broke my heart. It is hard enough for transgender teens to navigate through school when their students are not able to accept them, but to have the adults participate is inexcusable. We were asked to think about how we would respond as teachers, and how we can…

Hear, hear! However, let’s take this one step further. I would go so far to say that WOMEN are a myth. I mean, I’m not a woman. Therefore, are there women? I find this so called “women exist” narrative just doesn’t hold water.

I also worked in museum visitor services - you have my sympathies! Very often the person working the gate has at least one degree and a wealth of knowledge that they don't always get to showcase while herding tourists.

That's when you put on a condescending tone and ask which nursing home he's at, and that you're not qualified to clean his soiled Depends, but you'd be happy to get him to a phone.

I am broke as fuck and I am the queen of traveling on a budget. AirBnB / Homeaway / VBRO > often cheaper than hotels. Skyscanner is a great website to see cheap deals for flying. You can put in your "Home" airport (like for me it's either DCA or BWI) and in your destination you can type in "EVERYWHERE" and then select…

Non-food related, but I used to work in vocational training, training adults to use a computer. I once had a women get so frustrated that she threw her mouse at me. I've never been so glad that we didn't use wireless mice. It flew a few feet and hit the ground instead of my face. My boss was in that classroom half a…

My kids are getting baskets from the Easter Queen Elizabeth next year. Or maybe the Easter Princess Kate. Brilliant!
