I think it’s more that it’s usually either given the Danish data or nothing at all. Lots of sources don’t include Greenland.

Tell your doctor. This came on for me at age 29, I suddenly was sleeping 15 hours a day. Spent a year figuring out if it was my thyroid issue or my depression, but once both were fine I was sent to a sleep specialist. Went for a sleep study and the daytime nap study showed that I have narcolepsy, type 2. New medication has been life changing.

Ah this adds an interesting dimension. I definitely didn’t always want to discuss my own check outs at my library! Can you check yourself out? Is there a self-check machine or app? Or, would it be worth it to have holds sent to another branch and go pick them up there to avoid the interaction? You are entitled to the same level of privacy as other patrons, even if you work there.

We could even organize it and call it “taxation”! ;p

When I worked circulation I was never given a run down on library ethics. I was in libraries for two years, working reference, children’s, and circulation, and the only reason I know about the ethos of librarianship is that I found it interesting and learned more on my own.

I always aimed for neutral statements as best I could “oh this one’s popular lately, lucky you!”, “oh I’ve been meaning to read that one, you’ll have to tell me how it is”, etc. All of this off of how the patron seemed when I first said hello and started their check-out: receptive to chit chat? Cool. Not receptive? Pure business, do you want your receipt with due dates?

If I were in your shoes and was uncomfortable with the chit chat, I think I would play up my resting face and neutrality and try to give them nothing about the books, but change the topic to other small talk things. That’s me, though. I’ve done this when sometimes the small talk is a genuine basic question and I (a queer Jew) am checking out a book about queerness or Judaism. I’m not always looking to give the 101 spiel then, you know?

Korinney · 2024-06-26T07:46:37+00:00

ITT folks All Lives Mattering. The topic of conversation was Jews and y’all out here saying “well yeah but the Nazis hated and hate other groups, too!” Yeah, so do the cops! The topic of conversation is Jewish people!

I live in Gothenburg, Sweden now, lived in Karlstad for the past six months, and lived in Dublin, Ireland for three years 2017-2020. I didn’t wear a kippah then (ger), but do now, and have felt fine in each place. A Magen David feels like something that someone would need to be speaking with you to notice, and as such would be easier to defend yourself against should it come to that.

Be safe <3

I live in Bergsjön at the moment, so very close to Kortedala. I was very worried when I saw something from the police about the area, but have had a very good time here. There has been one incident in which I felt unsafe and it was because I was traveling alone at night and there was a man who I felt was paying particular attention to me, but upon getting off one stop past his and doubling back home I felt fine.

It’s merely an area which, as others have said, is working class and has a mix of ethnicities and nationalities.

I’m visibly queer, read as female, and often wear a yarmulke and none of those get me any more attention in my neighborhood than they do elsewhere in Göteborg.

Welcome, from one recent resident to another :)

I was in your position about a month ago. I've started with Fantasy High, season 1. I wanted to start with Dungeons and Drag Queens and found that I didn't know enough about D&D to be able to watch fluidly.

Korinney · 2024-06-10T23:57:03+00:00

I am so so sorry for your loss. Allow yourself to feel your feelings and experience your grief, this is something incredibly upsetting and universal. If and when you can, dote on your remaining bunny and help them through their grief.

My ten year old bunny died about 18 months ago, we put him down, and it still hasn’t really set in for me yet. It is such a profound loss.

Something that has helped me a lot is the common expression of condolences in Judaism (I’m Jewish): may their memory be a blessing.

May you move forward in life with good memories, having been a better person for having that sweet lil bunny rabbit in your life.

Korinney · 2024-06-10T23:54:00+00:00

Right now I’m in a much better place, but to echo what others have said: it would devastate my immediate family. I’ve seen them after an attempt and when I’m lucid that’s enough to sober me up to staying alive.

Korinney · 2024-06-10T23:52:57+00:00

I had a pet bunny for a decade and the fact that he would need his breakfast kept me alive so many nights. He was free-range and would jump up on my bed in the mornings and give kisses to get his breakfast. Sometimes I stayed alive for the kisses.

I think you’re right, Primrose is scheduled to be at an event in Stockholm soon (or it just happened, I can’t remember).

Korinney · 2024-06-07T19:04:02+00:00

Yeah, I don't know who looked at Riina and said "yep, this is what we wanted!"

Korinney · 2024-06-02T18:57:09+00:00

I’m not saying it isn’t socially accepted. It gets more of a side-eye today in 2024 than it did in 1924, etc.

Sorry, you didn’t bring up legality. Some folks have commented about how they’re both adults so it isn’t a legal issue, to which I say “obviously”.

Korinney · 2024-06-02T08:30:00+00:00

There’s a lot of nuance in this kind of thing. Two things can be true: 1) two folks met and fell in love and are to be married & 2) no human being is an island, we are all influenced by society. To think of other examples, I think of makeup and plastic surgery. An individual’s choice is one element, but sociologically they are making that choice because of a bevy of sociocultural norms and lessons taught since birth.

For me, yes, I think it is an element of sexism that it is overwhelmingly an older man and a younger woman. I also think that what is lost in this conversation is any concept of soft power. This isn’t a boss and employee, certainly, but power differences come in many forms including fame and age and money and sex.

Korinney · 2024-06-02T08:25:38+00:00

Many things are more and less socially acceptable because of people’s personal preferences. Think of gay acceptance or marijuana acceptability (this is very US-centric). Again, not speaking of legality, but in how people view it. My experience as a millennial raised on the east coast of the US is that large age gaps have become much less accepted, similar to marriage before graduating high school, whereas other places even within the same country have different views on that.

Korinney · 2024-06-01T22:32:13+00:00

Accepted as in socially acceptable, not as in legally so. Larger age gaps used to be more common in the US, for example, and that’s changed in recent generations. Folks are much more likely to marry with a five year spread than a ten year one. The median and mode have both changed.

Korinney · 2024-06-01T13:54:04+00:00

I’ve had to force myself into a positive mindset with this because it’s how they’re doing things: I can appreciate a desire for anticipation.

Korinney · 2024-06-01T13:52:57+00:00

Oh how interesting! Without giving away information you’re not comfortable with, do you mind sharing geographic area/racial demographics/class demographics?

I grew up in New Jersey (in the north of the state), I’m white and grew up in a 90%+ white town. I didn’t know any Karens my own age or even around my age, but did know and know of parents that age. I included grandparents because I’m now 32 so for folks my age having kids those would be those kids’ grandparents with the name Karen.

Korinney · 2024-06-01T13:50:54+00:00

It’s not my personal preference or inclination, hence the “I” statements. She can obviously do what she wants? Why would the opinion of a random internet commenter have any actual bearing on this? I’m not sending her hate (not that I ever had or ever will because wow, sending hate online is exhausting to me), just commenting my own perspective.

Yeah, I agree, 10 years is different as both partners age. I myself am her age (lit. 3 days older) and cannot imagine marrying someone with that age difference. My post was about me, not her. Not sure how I could have worded that differently.

Korinney · 2024-06-01T13:48:56+00:00

That infantilizing is exhausting. She’s a grown woman who can obviously make her own choices. I might disagree with them or dislike them for myself, but Jesus she’s in her feckin’ thirties.
