darchildreI keep thinking that I should post something and then realizing that I have nothing I want to say, because summer and depression and everything being boring. But that sucks! So instead, I will revive my daily Three Good Things posts.
So. Three Good Things About Today:
1) It is Friday, and the Friday before a three-day weekend, thanks to the newly minted Juneteenth Federal holiday this month. (The library isn't closed on Monday, as the library generally recognizes holidays on the dates on which they actually fall, rather than the 'observed' date, but since it falls on a Sunday this year and we're closed on Sundays, I get a flex day on Monday.)
2) After about a month-long break from actively playing my tiny solo rpg, I've now started again. And made some fun plot advancements today, which I'm quite happy about.
3) Yesterday, we had a lady come in to the library and complain about our Pride display, saying some nonsense about how she "didn't want her tax dollars paying for that crap" and then asking pointed questions about whether we had any Bibles in our collection. (Of course we do - we're a library.) Which sucked. But fuck her, because today two teens came in and were visibly overjoyed about the display - they came up to the desk and told us how happy it made them to see it, they checked out several books from it, and they were really excited about the pronoun pins our kid's librarian had made with our button maker. Those kids made my day and I'm so glad that we can make the library somewhere they can be happy and know that they're safe.
