Things People Ask Librarians
Questions asked at the reference desk. Some are funny, some are angry and some just simply tickle me.
And also, probably a lot, things I really want to say.

This is the official ‘i care’ symbol. This is how it works:
Basically you reblog this, and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at their message.

Time to start pulling the Center, Left.
Seriously when the hell are people going to wake up? These people don’t care about the people. The part of “Corporations are people my friend,” don’t give a shit and are doing everything in their power to make it impossible for those who aren’t wall street bankers or CEOs to get by. This year let’s vote the assholes out please. Whatever your affiliations are, however often you have voted for family values, I have to tell you something. Trying to kill the middle class, strip the less well off of any kind of social safety net is not a family value, it is greedy and unAmerican.

I’m really good at that game.
That’s the only game I’m awesome at.

Holder isn’t the very bestest of Attorney Generals, in my opinion. But I do love his smackdown of Congress’ stupidest man, Louis Gohmert.

Hopefully the citizens who vote for him fire him the next time they get the chance. Image from Progress North Carolina.
This whole democracy thing…is it me or do some folks on the Right not get it?
The citizens who voted him into office. His bosses. I know not everyone agrees with me on that. But you are your legislator’s boss. He is supposed to represent your interests. And it damn well is his job to listen.

The 16-year-old high school student who was arrested after causing a small explosion on school grounds will not be charged with a crime.
Excellent! Science is not a crime.

Pima County, Arizona, is the only county in the United States that tracks migrant deaths. Here’s every one since 2001.
This is horrifying.

Here’s How Much It Costs To Block A Bill That 91% Of Americans Support
There’s nothing a little (or huge) campaign donation can’t make you forget about, right? Even that pesky thing called American safety.
That’s not even $1 million a Senator. Buy a Senator for cheap these days.

Cutting to the chase I am doing a project for my art class that requires me to do a piece that is 60ftx1ft long.
60 feet is a HUGE size.
Long story short, I need your URLs, and if you reblog/like this post I will write your URL down on my piece.
I NEED 60 FEET OF URLS AND I HAVE SMALL HANDWRITING. PLEASE REBLOG FOR ONE REASON, AND ONE REASON ONLY:
I wanna see the finished piece
