I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(
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.

MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.
Makes sense. I’m a librarian and we still use cards from the old card catalog for notes.
Come on, I’m counting on you!
I finally found a job that I enjoy and isn’t wicked stressful. I’m looking forward to going in on Monday to fix a bug that reared its head over the weekend. It’s lovely.
My previous job had little downtime, lots of deadlines, and paid more. I took mental health days a lot.
Current job pays 2/3 as much and I love it. I don’t call out nearly as often.

I do. I left my pour-over coffee maker at the office, so I make do with instant coffee. It’s… ok, if I drown it in almond milk.
Oh, they don’t charge me anything to cover my overdraft with my own money. It’s kinda nice.
Well, you see, you’ve opted-in to a service where, to save you the embarrassment of not being able to pay for something, the bank charges you $35. I’m sure it’s in the fine print somewhere. /s
TBH, though, my bank lets me opt-out of it. They also let me tie in my savings account, so if I would overdraw my checking account instead they move money from savings and send me a note.
My mobile app (Joey) still works for me. I think it’s because I’m a moderator on a subreddit. I occasionally visit Reddit, but not nearly as much as I used to.
Hot rich widows in the countryside await your acquaintance. “Triflers need not apply.”
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.
TBF you just described most of capitalism.
I don’t need a gun, but the pawn shop on my commute has some musical instruments in the window which intrigue me. I’m a serial hobby-starter, and prefer gently used hobby tools over new, because used items have less of an environmental impact than new items.
My boyfriend’s girlfriend (not me) is like that. She’s also got major dietary restrictions and always ends up bringing 3x more food than she needs. Food anxiety sucks. I’m thankful I have no firm dietary restrictions, just things that don’t agree with me.
My understanding:
(Agreeing and using different words to say the what I think is the same thing)
I’m a Southern transplant living in New England for the last couple decades and I’ve never thought of “y’all” as being indicative of right-wingedness. I use it all the time and it doesn’t feel like anyone thinks anything of it.
Robert Evans wrote a post on it and did multiple podcast episodes.
The TL&DR is that AI-generated children’s books are crap, without a coherent storyline or any literary niceties like “foreshadowing” and “beginning middle and end”. Kids are still learning what stories look like, so if you hand them AI-generated stuff they might know it’s unsatisfying, but they can’t put into words why their books are wrong.
And sometimes those recommendations get implemented in awful ways in public buildings. And that’s why my office will be hot and humid when I get to work on Monday–the A/C gets turned off over the weekend and it takes forever to catch up on Monday. Never mind that I work in a library and books do not deal well with changing temperature and (especially) high humidity.
