I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. For a complete list of posts, browse on the original instance.

It's wild how many job listings might be fake ( www.businessinsider.com )

Resume Builder, which offers résumé templates, surveyed nearly 650 hiring managers in May and found nearly seven in 10 said it was "morally acceptable" to post fake jobs. Hiring managers credited the move with increasing revenue, morale, and how much workers get done....

Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I've seen that theory floated to explain the "help wanted" signs at fast food places that never come down.

Medical conditions also play a role in it. I'm on medications that make me wicked susceptible to overheating. I start melting at 75°F if there is even a mild amount of humidity. And that's at home where I can dress comfortably.

I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.

And iirc the historical reason it's not disrespectful for women to keep their hat on is that hats were much more integrated into women's hairdos. So, it'd be a whole production of removing hat pins, re-arranging curls, etc.

As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I'm of two minds.

  1. I've seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.

  2. If you're going to overdose, I'd rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you're going to engage in public sex please don't do it around people that aren't into that. There are private clubs for that.

Yes, but my local dungeon closed during the pandemic so I don't know where to point folks anymore. I'd check on FetLife if I were you. There's also the Queer Liberation Library if you're in America and looking for "objectionable" reading material online.

And I've never been hip with the drug scene, as I imagine the young'uns say.

Well, it's more public than your own home and everyone there consented to being around potential strangers having sex. Consent is sexy!

Or set off the fire alarm by vaping in the bathroom. I hated when teen boys did that. It was always belligerent teen boys.

My grandma watched Fox News and wasn't a moron. To be fair, she was also wicked deep into her dementia.

The Rhode Island Department of Health was giving away free Narcan at Providence Pride this weekend, so I picked some up. I'll keep it on hand in just in case someone needs it. Go fuck yourself :)

Everyone else: Narcan's readily available in states and there's very little risk to administering it. It's a spray up the nose.

(eta: context. My brother overdosed and you pretty much wished that others experience the same pain.)

That's quite fair. People don't tend to react well to becoming suddenly not-high. I don't even react well to becoming suddenly not-asleep.

MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.

Yep. That's why I'm here again. My reddit app may work for now, but the writing is on the wall in bigger, bolder letters.

Why don't you ask the trans people you know? They're more likely to know their reasons that we are. We're just random people in the Internet. They're the ones whose style causes you questions.

Same! Well, TBH chicken often tastes gross to me (grew up with a parent that thought 'boil it in maybe-salted water' was the way to go). But there's plenty of non-beef options! Tofu, turkey, textured vegetable protein, it's all good. (TVP's great for things like sauces, where you just need the texture of ground beef, but the other flavors would drown it out anyway). Even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich makes for an easy work lunches.

How do you feel about financing a genocide?

I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did...

That's my emotional understanding of the current situation. I supported the invasion of Afghanistan whole-heartedly the night it happened, but I was a child then. 9/11 was upsetting and rockets are exciting. Now, with maturity and hindsight, that invasion was a cruel mistake. I believe this current invasion is also a mistake.

Welp, that's my vocabulary lesson for the day.
