Hi! I'm a nerdy library worker. I love many kinds of storytelling, including videogames and TTRPGs. I'm trying to photograph all the birds in this city with limited success. I have successfully installed Linux on a computer. Science is cool and capitalism ruins everything. Trains and busses are cool. If there's a fire in the theater tonight, the exits are to the left. Fight for those who can't fight for themselves. They/Them 🏳️‍⚧️

I stumbled across this picture book while shelving at work a few days ago. I had to share it!

Cecilia has two jobs. One job is to be a child. The other job is to accompany her parents around town and interpret for them. It’s an important job, but Cecilia is so tired! There are many children like Cecilia in the world. Their work needs to be recognized, so I’m grateful that books like this exist. But also, society can do better!

Thousands queue as doors open at revamped Wellington Library after seven years

Two significant central Wellington landmarks have drawn significant crowds at their reopening after years-long closures.

Like many thousands of residents and visitors in Te Whanganui-A-Tara today we visited the re-opening of our beloved library. It is was always an impressive and welcoming space but even more so now with many more multi-purpose spaces available. There is impressive artwork as well and a feeling of light and something for everyone. Perhaps not quite as many books as before but the emphasis is on a multi-use, community-orientated space built around a library. Full marks to all involved. Definitely worth a visit.

Third day on the very wet picket lines for the #PCC strike.

Impressed by the hundreds of faculty, staff, and students that have shown up each day despite the difficult weather.

I'm not on TikTok but my wife will occasionally show me a video that I think warrants breaking containment. Here is Stephen Spencer who takes stories written by his 3 year old and turns them into songs and it is adorable.
my doctor asked if I was getting enough sleep and I laughed for so long she made a note
