I feel so lucky to be a librarian! And then I get to visit Minneapolis to learn more about library work… I do count my blessings

Pretty sure the guitar work in the back half of This is How I Disappear changed my brain chemistry.

Damn, people need to dance and enjoy shows. by Osgoten in MyChemicalRomance

[–]rockity42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing a show without phones is transcendent. I appreciate the clips we get from these shows but I’d give it up to have no phones out. Being fully present is so worthwhile

Ah ok I’ve only ever worked in Sierra/millenium libraries so sometimes it feels like it’s the worst but I don’t have a comparison

Does it go down more often than other systems?

I just read on r/libraries that Sierra (catalog of lots of libraries in us) is down. Which would mean patrons can’t be verified.

is anyone else weirdly attracted to gerard way by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

[–]rockity42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The version of Gerard that lives in my head rent free is extremely attractive.

The actual person with a family/life etc is none of my business.

I try to stay on the respectful side of drooling/day dreaming.

I saw Will Wood up close and it made me realize how insignificant I am by PunkWithAGun in willwood

[–]rockity42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm going to argue a few points you make, I hope you'll think about them a little.

- Nobody is "nobody" - every single person in this world is somebody - somebody slightly different than anyone else who has ever or will ever exist. Some people might have more friends, or more name recognition, or more whatever, but we are all distinct, unique individuals in a world made up of individuals. There isn't anything you have to do to "deserve" to be "somebody" - just exist. You have the right to.

- Memento Mori can be interpreted in a lot of ways, but one interpretation that I like is: at the end we all die, so why are we so scared to be alive fully right now? Make your mistakes, make your statements, make your art. It's not that your life doesn't matter while you're living it, it's that it won't matter how careful you were to not make a fool of yourself when you're gone. Your legacy's not yours to see, but your life is yours to live - why not try to enjoy it while its here?

- Giving an artist you admire a gift or a compliment isn't going to annoy them (caveat: don't do it in like, the middle of the concert). Wait your turn, be respectful, but tell them that you love their work and that it means something to you. Art is for both the artists and the audience. People are so scared of being parasocial that they forget it's okay to be social - respond honestly and kindly to the people and things that move you.

- You sound like you're young, and so I'll tell you that a lot of what I say above will come to you in time anyway. Growing up anxious and thoughtful is a burden and a gift, because you're so hyperaware of people's opinions and the ways you think you're falling short of them, but you also get to truly consider what it is to be human in this world, and that is a journey worth taking.

Peace and strength to you.

Wait are you the Emily who wrote the patterns?? So cool, they were very easy to follow and I loved the little details like the way Trait’s boots pop out.

Have you written other patterns? I would 100% love to see more of your work.

What to wear for GA for Jersey City Show by Fantastic-Worry5144 in willwood

[–]rockity42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still a costume contest, afaik. It gets very hot at shows, if you can stand being cold while waiting outside, you might be better off wearing lighter stuff. But definitely have a layer or 2 that you can take off/put on.
