#I also work in the public library and this happens at least weekly there#2FA is a total nightmare for so many different populations#even if you just lose your phone you may be out of luck for everything#if you lose your wallet too? good luck#now imagine you've never had them to lose#it's a spiraling hell maze of trying everything just to get to the next step which may be a dead end anyway#anyway#library#we do our best

we really didn't deserve The Good Place. a bizarrely high-budget sitcom telling a longform, highly conceptual story that you need to have been watching from episode one, which was allowed to play out at its own pace and wrap things up when it intended to, and it didn't even lose steam over its four seasons. that's practically proof of the existence of a loving god

Witchcraft, Wisdom, Death...
#for myself I got craft worship and frenzy#though at first I thought worship was 'work'#which seems accurate#for my OC I got gossip gods and cynicism#which also seems right#ah i keep realizing I'm not seeing what's probably the intended full words#craft was probably witchcraft#gods was heathen gods#oh well#I think what you actually “see” is relevant

#i actually hate that this is the case but my worst job blew up after I left#after I literally warned them that could happen#and then quit after years of trying to make it better and safer#because I finally put my own safety as my priority#sigh#jobs#capitalism

why do you think it's so common for writers to insert themselves into their stories?



I don't know.

Me: Do you understand how much you mean to children? Do you understand how much you alone boost our circulation numbers? Sometimes I feel like you're the single toothpick holding up childhood literacy at a vital transitional stage.

Me: You are my brother in arms, Dog Man.

Tiffany couldn't quite work out how Miss Level got paid. Certainly the basket she carried filled up more than it emptied. They'd walk past a cottage and a woman would come scurrying out with a fresh-baked loaf or a jar of pickles, even though Miss Level hadn't stopped there. But they'd spend an hour somewhere else, stitching up the leg of a farmer who'd been careless with an axe, and get a cup of tea and a stale biscuit.
It didn't seem fair.
“Oh, it evens out,” said Miss Level, as they walked on through the woods.
“You do what you can. People give what they can, when they can. Old Slapwick there, with the leg, he's as mean as a cat, but there'll be a big cut of beef on my doorstep before the week's end, you can bet on it. His wife will see to it. And pretty soon people will be killing their pigs for the winter, and I'll get more brawn, ham, bacon and sausages turning up than a family could eat in a year.”
“You do? What do you do with all that food?”
“Store it,” said Miss Level.
“But you-”
“I store it in other people. It's amazing what you can store in other people.” Miss Level laughed at Tiffany's expression. “I mean, I take what I don't need round to those who don't have a pig, or who're going through a bad patch, or who don't have anyone to remember them.”
“But that means they'll owe you a favour!”
“Right! And so it just keeps on going round. It all works out.”
“I bet some people are too mean to pay-”
“Not pay,” said Miss Level, severely. “A witch never expects payment and never asks for it and just hopes she never needs to. But, sadly, you are right.”
“And then what happens?"
“What do you mean?”
“You stop helping them, do you?”
“Oh, no,” said Miss Level, genuinely shocked. “You can't not help people just because they're stupid or forgetful or unpleasant. Everyone's poor round here. If I don't help them, who will?”
