This has been happening recently in my community, sadly.

Love Darn Tough socks, would definitely recommend them! I haven’t had the chance to use their guarantee yet because my socks have held up well, but I’ve heard good things and that they actually do honor it!

Not normally what you think when you see snails, but it’s cute!

Whoa, I had no idea that was a thing. Horrific!

several stages where it looked like it was failing, and it’s actually really important to just let that happen, it’s part of the cycle…

Forestry advice and/or life advice?

Oh look, it’s the Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State of where I live. Fantastic.

I’ve been reporting the spam as much as I can, since I’m seeing a lot too, but that explains why it’s still hanging around. Thanks!

Love it, ha ha!

Thanks! Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in thinking you need to fix everything and easy to forget that small things can be impactful.

I loved Thinking, Fast and Slow. I really enjoyed how he included a lot of the questions and tests he used so you could answer them as you read the book.

I’m stealing “daily stupid mental health walk” because that’s fantastic.

Ugh, food poisoning sucks so much, there’s not much you can do except go through it. Hope you recover quickly!

A little of both, actually. Not sure what the recourse is, which is part of the distress.

But…coincidentally I just found out the city is hosting a book drive for literacy awareness this week, so my book club is donating copies of all of the books that have been removed to the book drive. Not much but it’s honest work, I guess!

I guess that means my week is improving!

I don’t think anything would escalate to physical danger or like, property damage, or anything. At least I hope. More like people deciding to boycott their businesses and social repercussions, things like that.

Trying to get books relocated/removed because they find them “obscene” (i.e. featuring gay characters or addressing things like racism). This kind of nonsense has been happening in a lot of libraries around the US, sadly.

ensuring I’m creating safe spaces for people and sharing my different option when asked.

But it is also important to recognize how much energy you have to give. It might not feel like a lot but if it is what you can handle without burning yourself out, that's very important.

These are good things to remember, thanks!

Excited to see what other memes the crabs come up with.

Starting off rough, honestly. Local citizens where I live are fucking with the public library and it’s infuriating and depressing and frustrating and I feel powerless to stop them because the majority of the people here are okay with it.

Good to know!

I’m on board with a whitelist if Beehaw wants to stay on Lemmy, too.

And if they move, I’ll just make a Lemmy account on a different instance or kbin or whatever to keep track of a few communities outside of Beehaw. I don’t think you can migrate your account, but I could definitely be mistaken about that (still figuring out this fediverse thing)!
