Are tax payers not people?

This is just so typical of the shit and abusive men in my life.

Robin Wright could totally carry the show, I’m into it. I stopped watching after Season 2 because the writing didn’t seem as good as the acting, but I’d watch if she was the lead.

Yet, knowing there is a pattern of this behavior, his people keep putting women in his grope zone and laughing off his shitty joke. If you know someone sexually assaults women then you don’t put unsuspecting women next to them without forewarning and you also don’t laugh off his behavior after the fact, putting the…

Being from the bluegrass state I feel I have to point out that that peanut butter music ain’t bluegrass.

I’ve been stabbed in the back by work friends who tried to blur the line between professional relationship and real friendship. Now I’m friendly and joke around in the “working hard or hardly working?” Kind of way. Usually I limit conversations to the weather, which had more to do with working in basements at my last…

Simpler times. I remember having to write papers on this in English 102, my first year of college.

Be sure to tell them about your illness, you may have to show some kind of documentation, but it will hopefully get them to forgive your fines. Just to be clear, in my opinion your word should be good enough for forgiveness, but some libraries are beyond strict. No library should be doing this, it’s bad press, bad…

But really libraries shouldn’t make fines a part of their budget, it’s just setting up a system designed to take money from patrons who often have the most difficulty paying and returning books, because those who are money poor are often time poor as well. I know the reality of using fines to fund libraries due to…

I had a lot of patrons, particularly children, who had unsecure housing situations and moved a lot. They would often lose books due to escaping domestic violence situations, getting evicted, living in group homes where people would steal their books, etc... Librarians have to learn how to be lenient and ensure people…

I had teens who were blocked from using the library becuase of things their family had checked out when they were babies. Drove me up a fucking wall. I always did an override so they could access computers and check out materials because they couldn’t do their school work without library access, let alone apply for…

I detest libraries that do this. It’s absolutely punishing the people who need libraries the most and who would be most likely to support libraries in the future.

My library had to stop allowing people to buy their own replacement copies because there were issues with the quality of the book delivered or sometimes it would be the wrong edition. Then we would have to reject the replacement a patron brought in and you can imagine how mad that would make them. That said, the books…

Have you seen Kubo? It’s about the Japanese holiday Obon, which similarly is about the dead coming back to visit with family. Beautifully done film.

Absolutely! I feel like it’s finally getting some recognition lately. I saw it when it was released and remember enjoying it, but I was also about 15 so unsure if it would age well. Definitely need to revisit it now.

I went through this after the Trump tape during the campaign and these stories, and male commenters whining about women sharing and venting about their experiences, have brought it up again. There have been so many times throughout my life since I reached puberty that men have groped, fondled, grabbed at me, backed me…

I can’t watch many horror films, I hate gore, and detest jump scares. What I do love is creepy films with thick atmosphere, usually gothic haunting stories, but not always. Here are my recommendations (and if you have any in line with these, please tell me because I’m running low!)

Kwaidan is so amazing! I’m glad you mentioned it!

It is glaring in the writing and the directing that there aren’t many (if any) women involved. They have some really amazing female characters and performers, but they so often fail to write deserving material.

The old kings of the past hero’s journey have to make way for the next hero.
