I will give you free books for life and you don’t have to change anything because you’re perfect and no one is talking about it
Subway is offering free sandwiches for life to someone who is willing to legally change their first name to ‘Subway.’ The contest will choose a random winner, who will then be given $750 to go through with the name change and cover legal fees.

Not to equate myself with my fictional idol Lizzie B. But I just had THE most Pride & Prejudice moment. A guy liked me on Bumble, literally a self-professed Mr. Darcy (!), he sounded interesting, was attractive, I immediately reciprocated and shot off a message – at Scottsdale, AZ

Losing Twitter is like losing a portal to community, so if the last thing you see is this: you matter.

Our M2s created an entire week of optional welcome events for M1 orientation (so cute). For the last day today, they hosted a scavenger hunt to get to know campus with 1 stop being “Find the Cura Corner & thank Karina for all that she does” - I had no clue!!! So sweet ❤️ – at Phoenix, AZ

As a Reminder: Reading does not occur in the eyeballs. It occurs in the brain. People can use their eyeballs to read. People can use their fingers to read. People can use their ears to read. It is all reading! Any definition otherwise is ableist. Bless. 🖤📚

40 years ago, an untested, cash-strapped TV show about books premiered on @PBS. 21 seasons, 155 episodes + 26 Emmy Awards later, @ReadingRainbow's impact of teaching multiple generations of young children to love to read is still unmatched. Via @latimes: lat.ms/3OdwOVN

My most cancellable librarian take is that I don't give a damn about the finer points of citation styles, as long as I know what it is and how to find it.
