Saturday Snap – Smokey Moon

The extreme northern wildfires have brought a blanket of smoke to the south part of the province creating some eerie and stunning visuals including this crescent-shaped blood moon…

 

Friday Fun Link – AI Video Is Unreal

Apparently right now, each AI video takes the equivalent energy to running a microwave for an hour.  But when the world melts, at least we’ll have a bunch of deep fakes to think of…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Welcome to Head Tale, The Blog

Let’s go *way* back to my very first blog post back in February 2006, nearly two months into my MLIS program and thinking “What can I possibly take up as a hobby that will help me procrastinate with assignments *and* be something I’m still doing twenty years later?!?”

Wisdom Wednesday – (Most) Work Is Not That Serious

Especially for public libraries and doubly so having an RN wife who’s entire job is working with high risk pregnancies, knowing that every single day, the wrong decision could result in bad health outcomes or even death for a mother and/or baby.

Here’s how I often frame it: “Libraries aren’t heart attacks and handcuffs even though some patrons act like they’ll die if they don’t get their John Grisham hold soon.  While the work we do is important, it’s also not to the same level as healthcare, emergency services and others who deal with life and death every single day.”

So why do so many staff act like libraries are in the same category?  Feelings of inadequacy?  Trying to justify high salaries?  Gain respect?

Secular Sunday – All Religion Is Psychosis

If one person says it, it’s psychotic.
If one hundred people say it, it’s a cult.
It’s one million people say it, it’s a religion.

Saturday Snap – Above Ground Pool

My brother-in-law and his wife (and their young son who saved his money to help contribute!) got an above ground pool for their acreage which is halfway between where we camp at Nickle Lake and Weyburn.

Still too cold for me but Sasha and her cousin were brave enough to try it out.  Will be a good excuse to go for a visit in July when it’s super hot out! 🙂
