    boomer moment - BIL's losing his job, and MIL mused whether he'd think working in a library was beneath him. i told her that those jobs require a master's in LS even with low pay, and everybody applies for them, so he'd be unlikely to get it. she looked at me, confused.

    I just interviewed a gen z candidate for the first time in my life and I am absolutely agog at the things they disclosed and said

    i recently found out about this romance bestseller, popular with women i know my age & younger, which is about a millennial in a ton of college debt who goes to work at a glory hole for minotaurs and falls for the first cow she services

    They explained it was important for them to WFH because of their PTSD diagnosis, which, i don't know why you’d bring that up in your first meeting with someone in an interview

    they frequently referred to roles or situations where they gave up or quit because it was too “stressful”

    They asked a lot of questions about how the role would benefit them and didn’t ask any about what the role needs from them

    Clarifying: I actually don’t think the PTSD is disqualifying (what if a veteran applied? I know of workplaces that hire them & this is a thing) but I think the time to disclose that is not in the early stages where you want to make a good first impression

    sadly, amazon’s disruptive self-publishing model didn’t lead to a fresh infusion of ideas into our tired culture. in practice, all it did was force libraries to stock self-published pornographic BookTok romances about women having sex with moths

    Amazon bestseller in 2018, yet only owned by 11 libraries worldwide, according to WorldCat. Something in the books world is broken.

    the second book in this series is about a woman who masturbates at an open window for a peeping tom (who turns out later to be a giant moth), who brings her to completion with his lengthy proboscis, sight unseen. they later meet face to face and fall in love. i’m sorry cap

    shelving books at libraries used to be a low-stakes, low-paying job for nerdy misfits who could work their way up to a stable career now it's for sweaty credentialed mouthbreathers who need to demonstrate proficiency in Indigenous Cultural Safety
