Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I’ve seen that theory floated to explain the “help wanted” signs at fast food places that never come down.
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

I still get that when I buy things secondhand, from Mercari, Abe books, or other online thrift stores. I’m waiting for a cute tokidoki vinyl figure to show up. Maybe this week, maybe next. Who knows?
They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
That’s quite fair. People don’t tend to react well to becoming suddenly not-high. I don’t even react well to becoming suddenly not-asleep.
The Rhode Island Department of Health was giving away free Narcan at Providence Pride this weekend, so I picked some up. I’ll keep it on hand in just in case someone needs it. Go fuck yourself :)
Everyone else: Narcan’s readily available in states and there’s very little risk to administering it. It’s a spray up the nose.
(eta: context. My brother overdosed and you pretty much wished that others experience the same pain.)
My grandma watched Fox News and wasn’t a moron. To be fair, she was also wicked deep into her dementia.
Or set off the fire alarm by vaping in the bathroom. I hated when teen boys did that. It was always belligerent teen boys.
Well, it’s more public than your own home and everyone there consented to being around potential strangers having sex. Consent is sexy!
Yes, but my local dungeon closed during the pandemic so I don’t know where to point folks anymore. I’d check on FetLife if I were you. There’s also the Queer Liberation Library if you’re in America and looking for “objectionable” reading material online.
And I’ve never been hip with the drug scene, as I imagine the young’uns say.
As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I’m of two minds.
I’ve seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.
If you’re going to overdose, I’d rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you’re going to engage in public sex please don’t do it around people that aren’t into that. There are private clubs for that.
It was surprisingly easy to get my dextroamphetamine prescription through a (local) telehealth doctor. Of course, I know I have ADHD because I’m not addicted to the meds and, in fact, keep forgetting to take then.
The cheese stands alone
My dad used to disable the motherboard speaker because the noises games made back then were more annoying than fun. We eventually got a soundcard, and that was awesome.
MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.
Makes sense. I’m a librarian and we still use cards from the old card catalog for notes.
Come on, I’m counting on you!
That’s how we got legless lizards.
It’s from OCHA’s daily brief.
I did math on this part of the report:
10,022 reported fatalities 2550 women 4104 children.
Subtract the children, you get 5918 adult fatalities. (10,022 - 4104=5918)
Edit: the “Data on Casualties” is, like I mentioned, slower to update. There’s a date filter–the fatalities listed are from earlier conflicts in the region, or in Israel or the West Bank.
Take a look at this daily brief put out by OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). It’s dated 6 November 2023.
Their “Data on Casualties” tracker is more detailed in its breakdown, but is slower to update (as noted on that page).
Edit: So, of 5918 adult fatalities listed, 2550 (43%) were women. It’s not clear to me at first glance if the remaining 57% are men, or if there are some undetermined folks mixed in.
I know! It should be “hot diggity dog”.
