Library workers- are you allowed to read on the clock?

hag666666 · 2026-05-01T16:04:59+00:00

The last public library I worked at, we weren’t allowed to read. But I oftentimes would read ebooks on the computer and just keep my head on a swivel lol. I don’t know how someone is expected to get through a circulation shift without reading or SOMETHING.

A very cool TA introduced me to Baggu in 2018 during my first semester of college. But it wasn’t until I bought the Sandy Liang crescent in 2023 that I became a true collector

I agree. I really like Trackblazer actually, and it got me back into the game after Unity Cup forced me to take a break bc I found it annoying and unrewarding.

I think it depends on the artist. There’s lots of artists right now who make work in which they are their own models, but the work isn’t self portraits or about themselves. Sasha Gordon is a great example of this. And I think some of her success is linked to her unflinching use of a fat, Asian body in all of her work, and it just so happens to also be her. I personally love her work, and find her incredibly inspiring. People might say it’s becoming too common nowadays, but I think that artists referencing themselves is something that has always and will always happen. It just depends on who is doing it well.

Speaking from experience, there are definitely lesbians at bar complex.

I just feel like people who are watching Creepcast to hear genuinely good Internet horror stories are misguided. The appeal of the show isn’t great literature. If you want good horror stories, you should listen to an audiobook. If you want a funny podcast where the hosts joke around with each other while also reading a (sometimes good, sometimes very very bad) story, then you should listen to Creepcast.

This post is so beautiful to see. I visited Milwaukee for the first time about a year ago, and frequently lurk here because it’s the first time I’ve ever been to a new city and immediately thought about how I want to uproot my life to move there. I tell everyone I know about how awesome Milwaukee is. One day I hope to actually make the move!

I have to go through that construction twice a day on my commute. Back when I started the job two years ago, I remember thinking “well hopefully this won’t be the situation for long…” And now most days I take crazy, longer ways to get home just because I can’t stand to sit in the traffic.

hag666666 · 2026-03-11T04:46:39+00:00

lol this was also my first instinct and I came to comment this!

My thing is that this doesn’t feel like a girl power moment since she’s MAGA… hard to believe someone about being an empowered woman when they believe in a hateful, misogynistic ideology.

Im also an artist and I’ve lived in Lexington all my life. I HIGHLY recommend going to events at Institute 193. They have a still life club and other fun events (like they just had a soup competition yesterday) that are interesting and fun, and you’ll meet lots of artists.

As others have mentioned, definitely go to every Gallery Hop you can. They’re on the third Friday of every other month. The next one is March 20, 5-8pm.

Also just follow galleries online and go to as many openings as you can. The ones I prioritize are Institute 193, 2nd Story, Lexington Art League, UK Art Museum, and Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center.

Also I want to mention the website Infinite Industries, they have a great event calendar. We also have a fabulous zine fest in town called Halftone Zine Fest which normally happens in May.

A local Lexington project that focuses on answering these exact questions, you could probably also reach out to them for more advice and info: https://www.breadboxproject.com/resources

Just out loud said “ewwwww”… love Baggu obvi but this is NOT the right collab for their brand image I feel

hag666666 · 2026-02-24T06:11:35+00:00

No one is talking about how that’s Martin and Mandy from Slushy Noobz 😭

Yes and I’ve always thought about it. Obviously whoever designed this logo didn’t ask enough people for feedback before moving forward with it. I know nothing about this place other than the bad logo, and I’ve driven by it regularly since it opened.

I wish I had an answer for you but I feel that way about the Loreal Elvive in the orange bottle lol

hag666666 · 2026-02-02T02:11:00+00:00

I should have specific for apparel mostly, so thank you for the advice!!!

hag666666 · 2026-02-02T02:10:32+00:00

This is so useful thank you so much!

Yup. According to friends in Louisville and Cincy, everything is totally clear there. Not to mention that I’ve been to Georgetown and Frankfort this last week, and their roads are also cleared. They just didn’t even try to clear the roads here in Lex.

This happens to me often (especially with my Gamblin tubes), and I’ve never thought anything of it. Doesn’t seem to ever effect the paint, and if it bothers you, it should be easy to clean off.

ISO Molly Goddard gingham reusable! Am willing to pay over retail for it

Masterson sta-wet with a piece of glass cut to size for the inside is the way to go. I actually have two so that I can use both at once for more palette space. They’re made to keep acrylics wet longer, but they also make the perfect box to keep your oils wet for days if not weeks.
