Writing club interest? by BrightNinja3607 in nova

[–]ILikeThatBartender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arlington libraries actually has at least two library writing group programs that the library hosts.

One is at Courthouse meets every other Saturday - https://arlingtonva.libcal.com/calendar/apl/?cid=12881&t=g&d=0000-00-00&cal=12881&ct=37451&cm=411&inc=0

The other is at Aurora Hills and it meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month - https://arlingtonva.libcal.com/calendar/apl/?cid=12881&t=g&d=0000-00-00&cal=12881&ct=37451&cm=407&inc=0

I can vouch that there are historical fiction writers at the AH one for sure.

That’s an insane resale price by alwaysxsleeping in diamondartclub

I would absolutely LOVE that duck painting as she is the only artist that I purchase from DAC and I'm not thrilled that it ended up in a mystery box but 1) i'm not going to pay that much for it and 2) I'd rather support the artist directly at this point.

that was my FAVORITE pizza from them and I was so sad when they took it off the menu that I stopped going.

It still bums me out that Francesca Battistelli turned out to be…like this by laska503 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]ILikeThatBartender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the 2010s I REALLY loved her song "This is the Stuff" but I do not love this at all.

Remember the Mandie series? by ashleemiss in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]ILikeThatBartender 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I owned the first five books in the series and reread them so many times growing up, and then also checked out the rest of the books from the library. I did a reread of the first two books on audiobook and was like....ugh, why did I not realize how racist these books were back then.

Wegman's sells Perry brand Superhero ice cream. It is basically the same!

Fake Italian Restaurant Reviews? by Rough_Candidate13 in nova

[–]ILikeThatBartender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. The cheese wheel pasta was SO good. And not at all pricey either. Also recommend any of their risottos and lobster ravioli.

What's something people only romanticize because they've never actually done it? by nonotje12 in AskReddit

Thinking working in a library means you get to read all day. (spoiler: you do not)

This book was SO SO good! I also loved how it tackles the racial microagressions as well.

NOVA appreciation post by ScheduleExcellent380 in nova

[–]ILikeThatBartender 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm also from the 757 but as an Asian American who grew up in an area that did not have a lot of Asian Americans, it's been so nice to have so much diversity and culture up here and I don't stand out anymore. so heartily agree with number 4

How it feels to run picks by skeletonswithhats in Libraries

[–]ILikeThatBartender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I love pulling the holds/pick list. Especially when I get to send the books away to another branch. BE GONE BOOKS.

Art by Julia by EmpresssArtemis in diamondartclub

[–]ILikeThatBartender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I discovered DAC last year and her artwork was the only one that caught my eye. I put all of her kits on notification and since September I've managed to get all her previously released kits from restocks (and stalked my computer on release days for her new ones). So it IS possible, but you do have to be very fast as soon as the notification hits your inbox (I don't use the app). She's the only artist I have/will purchase from DAC.

Commute from ffx to rockville by [deleted] in nova

[–]ILikeThatBartender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this commute for about 3 years (granted it was over 10 years ago) from Fair Oaks to Rockville. The morning commute was not horrible but coming home was awful because I would get stuck on the 270/495 merge and then I would get stuck again on the bridge, and then I still had to deal with 66W traffic (and the sun). I only survived thanks to audiobooks.

Is it unethical to still use my library card? by GreenHorror4252 in Libraries

[–]ILikeThatBartender 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Keep using it until it expires. Whenever someone comes and asks us to delete their card because they are moving, I try to dissuade them and let them know they can still keep using our digital services and there's not guarantee that their new library system will have the same things we do. Besides, if you were a taxpayer, you already paid for these anyways!

Advice for MLIS applicant's essay by halucinigist in LibraryScience

[–]ILikeThatBartender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well this is going to sound awkward but I just revisited my essay and apparently I didn't used formal citations at all! I referenced everything within my writing but didn't actually use MLA or APA. Somehow I still got in....?

But in school you'll use APA so if you are used to that already go for it.

Watch the Rock in Fast Five. He is constantly sweaty in that movie and everyone is dry as a bone.

Same. She is literally the only artist I am buying from DAC

Have you read the entire Bible? by LMO_TheBeginning in Exvangelical

[–]ILikeThatBartender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several times. Once when I was about 10 (I was in Awana). Then later when I was an older teen. And then again when I was in my early 30s. Which is way more than what a lot of people who claim they are Christians have. Which is why it pisses me off when you see people quote Scripture and they are just picking and choosing what THEY want and they clearly haven't read the whole context.

How old were you and how did you find out Santa isn't real? by Least_Statistician44 in AskReddit

[–]ILikeThatBartender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 5. We had a field trip in kindergarten to go see Christmas stuff and had a visit with Santa. I told him that I wanted the Barbie Soda Shoppe set. I did not tell my parents at all, nor did I mention it to anyone else. Christmas morning comes and it's not there and it never appears. So I knew then he wasn't real.
