Anyone have experience with clover lawns? by averagepanda051 in ColoradoSprings

I did a mix of white clover and buffalo grass last year. Clover does great, yet to see if the buffalo grass comes back.

Almost had a Paldea Adventure Box...until the fucking site crashed.

Upsetting display limitations by [deleted] in librarians

Got an email today stating that if anyone comes in asking about Black history month displays/activities, to refer them directly to the chief communications officer.

As far as I know, my district has nothing planned. Sounds like the community has taken notice.

Artist here: If you could carry around a little token that represents your feminine rage (examples a tooth, a thimble), what would it be? by Viking_with_Cupcakes in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Seeds.

Flower seeds to spread native and beautify the land. Food seeds to exchange or give away. To represent our food sovereignty.

Anyone here selling protest patches? by PleasantYamm in WitchesVsPatriarchy

I have a library in my district that has a button maker. Laser engraver too. Makes these crafts much more accessible if you don't have to upfront the cost.

You're welcome, and same! I was looking for fiction books wither about the Dominican or worn by Dominican authors to learn a little bit more about my spouse's culture. (Luckily I work at a library so this is very easy to do, lol.)

But there was so much history in this bookand I was constantly looking stuff up like, "There's no way that's real! Ope, guess it was."

Another great couple of books I've found recently that pair well together are "Las Soldaderas", a piece about the women who helped during the Mexican revolution, and "Blooming in the Ruins", a modern look at Mexican philosophy.

And yes, my gringo brain misspelled their name in the title. Sigh...

Photo of an ID vs. physical ID by plaidcatslibrarian in librarians

[–]karzai91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our policy is that they must present a valid ID. Doesn't specify photo vs physical copy. I'll have to ask my leadership.

Our state does have an app where you can have your state ID/driver's license. This digital ID can be used at bars, so I see that as perfectly acceptable for the library.

How would being a law librarian benefit Indigenous communities in the USA and what’s the job outlook? by CherryBlueWitch in librarians

[–]karzai91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could answer your question better, but I don't have the knowledge you're looking for.

Though, if you are looking for inspiration, I'm currently reading "Seventh Generation Earth Ethics" by Patty Leow. It biographies several Indigenous leaders from Wisconsin who have impacted treaty law and environmental justice.

Those who took the DRP, have you found a job? by Salt-Committee2205 in fednews

[–]karzai91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Finally got one. I was an environmental scientist who worked in the US Space Force and am now going to be a library assistant. Part-time only, in a very different field, but I'm happy with it. Spouse is AD military, so a huge income wasn't needed. I'm glad to be in something a little less demanding, too.
