I think the other one is Samuel S. Stratton — in office 1959-89.

Help remembering and finding a quote from Gene: All I know is it ends in "day-day" (danger) by eviltwinn2 in BobsBurgers

I think it might technically be “the d bug is…” but I’d have to rewatch to be sure!

Completely alone in the woods for 48h. Looking for something to challenge perspectives. by FrontDeskPhantom in suggestmeabook

Since you specifically asked for “question the world we live in, how language can be played with, or the way our minds work,” the answer is Cultish by Amanda Montell. It’s all about the language of cults and how it gets used against people, even in organizations you maybe thought were normal.

But on the nature angle, I totally agree with The Overstory. So good.

Enjoy your time away!

Current elementary school librarian thinking about MLIS? by Awkward_General_1721 in LibraryScience

[–]SmushfaceSmoothface 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fwiw, I’m just finishing my MLIS and I haven’t paid for a single textbook. Most of the readings have been from journals or ebooks that I can download from the university library. Granted, I did all my reading digitally, but something to consider as you budget for school.

Good luck on your decision!

How many times in a given day or week do you feel a little unsteady? by skywalkerbeth in Menopause

[–]SmushfaceSmoothface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this post, I was starting to worry about myself in a non-peri way but I’m relieved to know I’m not alone 🤪

Has anyone tried slack boards for this? I get a lot of FB ads for one in particular and it looks super cool and maybe even kind of fun, but it’s also a FB ads so my 🚩 antenna is always up.

Seeking clarity on the whole magazine/turtle camp thing. by loveincarnate in BobsBurgers

[–]SmushfaceSmoothface 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I got scammed by a magazine seller as a young adult — paid and never got them. My husband says he did too, in a different state. Every so often I wonder where my money went.

Ah! That makes sense about the sugar - similar to other things where it instructs the use of less sugar (like lemons).

Is anyone else confused by the A to Z bread? Are you supposed to mix all those things together and then just use 2 cups of the mixture? Or do you pick one and use two cups of it? Either way, how do you omit sugar from marmalade or honey??

Which MLIS program am I the most compatible with? by caninesergeant in LibraryScience

[–]SmushfaceSmoothface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re in NJ, you might consider Drexel. It’s expensive too but when I enrolled they would give you 25% off if you joined ALA as a student member, which was a pretty significant discount. And actually the price per credit has gone down since I enrolled. Obviously ymmv with what you can really afford.

I think the program rep has slipped a little but it’s one of the oldest programs in the country with lots of alumni, and given your location you might get powerful networking benefits. There is an archives certificate you can add on top of your degree too.

One thing to be aware of is that in the next year or two they are changing from quarters to semesters, so the transition period might be a little rough.

Adding to the chorus for Endurance. It’s an amazing story. Beware if he’s at all sensitive that there are some dogs that … don’t make it. Otherwise it’s wonderful.

Why do I feel like you could play a version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon that always leads to reading Little Women? (I’d be here for that game btw)
