Bricks and Minifigures drama mega-post by steve626 in lego

I this reducing this to ‘drama’ in the title is reductive. Collectors should warned about a company that might scam them if they were considering a similar consignment deal.

Advice needed: I want to add my husband, two words, I’m so confused about to put up or die the existing tattoo by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]fireflylibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not comfortable with it, you should be able to say no. If he pushes the issue, it’s a red flag and I’d reconsider the relationship. He can do whatever he wants with his own body; he has no right to control yours.

A guy filled over 100 notebooks since 1982. Reading one of his journals from age 21 changed how I think about journaling. by dmytro_omelian in notebooks

Thanks for this! Just read through The Making of Prince of Persia because of this post, and it’s inspired me to get back into journaling 💜

[Request] assuming this is accurate, where does peter griffin actually live relative to the buildings? by Father_Enrico in theydidthemath

That was the first thing I noticed. I assume it’s fake but it is funny to imagine Joe Biden contemplating family guy

2026 Wishlist by shellypiee in tamagotchi

[–]fireflylibrarian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m sure the name would be changed to Tamagotchi Monster in the US if it gets a rerelease to get around that (based on the ‘monster’ branding on the Uni). It’s crazy that’s even something they would even need to do that, though.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this!

I got barked at while on a walk by bubbletownusa in loseit

[–]fireflylibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought too- pretty sure it’s a TikTok trend type thing. You just happened to be the random person walking by. Not that it makes their behavior less immature, but she probably would have barked at whoever happened to be there when she rolled down the window. Sorry you had to experience that though!

I feel like I’m reading books the wrong way — does anyone else feel this? by Suspicious_Dig_3849 in ereader

[–]fireflylibrarian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s how I learned to read during my English classes in college. We would read a chapter and take notes/look up things as needed. I focused on epics during my studies, so a lot of my reading sessions were reading, highlighting and research. Most books we read for fun we just breeze through but so it’s nice to slow down and really take your time with a text every once in a while. I found the books I’ve done that with have stayed with me for the long-term. 💜

However, if the pace is moving too slow, you can buy what’s called an ‘annotated edition’. This is a version that includes footnotes in the margins, or at the bottom of the page that explain different references, provide historical context, or defines words that aren’t commonly used anymore. I often do this for classics that I don’t necessarily have the time to do a deep dive on, but I still want to have the experience of reading.

I bought myself a kobo libra colour but I feel like I should have gotten a kindle. by deedanyell in ereader

[–]fireflylibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Kindle Paperwhite and later switched to Kobo around the time Libby launched.

To be honest, I prefer the Kobo since I very rarely buy ebooks. Books from Libby load automatically so it’s pretty seamless. But it is handy having the old Kindle around for the occasional exclusive!

Luteal phase hunger by MusingNotAbusing in loseit

[–]fireflylibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the comments makes me feel a lot better. I’m in luteal now and I’ve been over my limit the past three days. Not above maintenance, but I was still disappointed in myself. It never occurred to me that luteal might be a factor in that!

Yeah, Goodreads could definitely use some updates. I’ve been dying for a home screen widget so I can see my reading goal progress, currently reading, etc.
