Eukaryotic cell gang!! We love women in STEM.

The organelles of the cells have been translated into human anatomy, so the nucleus is the brain, the vacuole function as the lungs, and the mitochondria is the heart since it’s the… you already know, I don’t have to say it ;)

reminder: if you’re getting an intramuscular injection (e.g. a covid booster or flu shot) and you’re above 200 lbs with estrogen-based body fat distribution or 260 lbs with testosterone-based body fat distribution, you should be requesting a 1.5-inch/38mm needle. you might want to print out this sheet and bring it with you, because I have had pharmacy employees blithely tell me the 1-inch needle is fine for everyone, and I find a clear directive from the CDC just makes life a little easier.

(this is one major reason why obesity is associated with so many negative health outcomes, btw—shit is not designed for us and providers are not educated about our needs, so we have to educate ourselves about appropriate care and then make special requests to receive that care just to get to the baseline chances of success straight-sized people have by default.)

thabk you so much “the cdc recommends” were magic words and they were absolutely gonna use a standard 1" on me

So a side effect of using Instacart is I can go back to past orders to order them again.

In 2020 a $250 order got me 52 items. I hit reorder and for $260 dollars It only found 32 of the items originally ordered.

I’ve seen folks run similar tests and it looks like the cost of living in the U.S. across the board is up by 27-30%

I’m sure most of us haven’t seen that reflected in our paychecks in a positive light. We are working the same or more for essentially 30% less in just 3 years.

A question I get asked a lot while working at a public library is “how do you deal with homeless people?”

And the answer is, we don’t.

The unhoused people who come here seeking refuge 99% of the time understand that they will be kicked out if they misbehave.

The people you have to watch out for are Jessica, who only came because the kid she didn’t want had to visit for a homework assignment and she just *needs* to yell at her child for asking to borrow two books or stay an extra five minutes, or Michael, who came in to look at porn on our computers for whatever fucking reason, or Karen who just wanted to come by to throw a fit that the particular book she wanted was checked out and harrass our staff about our collection being too limited.

99% of the time, the people we need to ban are middle to upper-middle class white people while the homeless and mentally ill/disabled people mind their own damn business and are honestly some of the best patrons we have.

I bring this up because today we had a man come in. He stopped at the desk, pulled up a chair and said “I’m newly homeless and was living in my car. I’m disabled. It was impounded. It’s raining. I don’t have a phone and I don’t know where to go tonight.”

And we did what we could to help. He was incredibly kind and patient despite his obvious anxiety and stress, more than most able bodied, housed patrons are to us under much less dire conditions. I liked knowing that we were the first place he came.

We have so many people like this who come in everyday. Many are quiet and keep to themselves, but sometimes they talk to us.

They tell us about how they’re taking a few courses on a scholarship they applied for from our library’s computer at the local community college to get their diploma. Or ask about a manga or dvd or book we might have to help them pass the time.

One woman, who comes in daily with her tattered walker always says hello to me and likes to work on the new jigsaw puzzle with me when we set one out.

So like, treat unhoused people like people. Treat disabled people like people. I don’t want my library to feel like the only safe space in the world, but I’m glad it can be one of them.

I’m so sick of hearing about how “the homeless are ruining everything” when they are some of the kindest, most respectful people here. Sometimes they mutter, might not have had a place to shower, and might need a little extra space for their backpacks but that’s FINE. It Doesn’t Matter Actually. None of that is a problem or any of my business to care about (unless they request help/services), and I also don’t think it’s any of yours.
