At last year's Pride game, I thought about how neat it would be if we could table at this year's game.

Well, we got invited, we tabled, we were honored at the pre-party and during the game, almost cranked the siren (before they lost it prior to the game), and got front row seats to Abby Fucking Roque's FUCKING MICHIGAN GOAL.

Also got to exchange info with a lot of Sirens fans about Princeton Pride and Defenders of the Right to Read, and if you were one of them, I look forward to chatting about additional ways we can piss off the government.

Wally came up with this, makes us do it at every reunion.

That feeling when you look over and realize you're sitting right near Madison Packer at the Sirens game.

I hosted a discussion with the executive producer of the "Searching for Hobey Baker" podcast tonight.

That is a very surreal fact that I can now say about my life.

June so far:

- Establishing my library's first Pride Month; Setting up the rather large information & history display in the gallery

- Acquired six sponsors for Summer Enrichment INCLUDING THE CHOCOLATE SHOP

- Appointed to BRC's Defenders of the Right to Read Committee and finding out I'll be marching with Martha Fucking Hickson at Pride

- Offered a two-year appointment to one of ALA's Graphic Novel & Comics Round Table committees

- Chosen for NYCC pro passes

- Savanah Bananas at Fenway tomorrow

Writing this all here for posterity so I can fondly reminisce on the one instance in life when a whole week actually went well.

Plus! One of my kiddos pulled me over the other day to shove headphones on my ears so I could listen to music she was remixing with a coding program. She was so proud, and that's definitely the highlight of all of this.

I have to do a school visit to all of the 8th graders on Wednesday, so all of these positive vibes are likely coming to an end when I'm met with the dead eyed indifference of graduating 14 year olds.

Ali Krieger, Billie Jean King, and Malala Yousafzai walk into a hockey arena...

No punchline. They're all just here.

There's some queerness afoot at the Prudential Center.

When creating a PowerPoint presentation explaining your Pride Month programming and request for Drag Story Hour that you'll be presenting to your Board this week, how gay is too gay?

I've succeeded in my civic duty as a librarian for 2023, re: the indoctrination of the youth, as Heartstopper vol. 1 was one of the top ten most checked out print items in our entire catalog this year.

To be fair, our conversations are often like taking a comparative cultures class, wherein you lecture about kpop and I lecture about hockey. And they will always somehow come back around to film analysis.

I’m having a whole meltdown why is the new skzflix video so fucking gay coded??? Why are Minho and Felix star crossed lovers stuck in a multidimensional time loop or something

What is going on with the bruises and the constant use of lenses and the fucking call me by your name vibes of Minho and Felix’s first few scenes I want to write an academic paper about this short

Seems incongruous for the NHL - a league whose players enthusiastically dress in drag and furry costumes at every available opportunity - to keep trying to kill off queer initiatives but, you know, you do you, Gary, et al.

I hope that when A24 starts doing bigger blockbuster films, they still continue surreal, fever dream gonzo filmmaking like Dicks: The Musical.

Two of my kids asked me to go trick-or-treating next week.

Excuse me.

Nothing like listening to "Bring Da Ruckus" on the ride to work to get prepared for conducting a Halloween toddler storytime.
