       @evacide I saw that they're offering an "opt out" feature for experts, but it's still 100% total bullshit that they did this.

       Book 30: Dungeon Crawler Carl. I put off reading this because the cover is so dumb. I'm glad I persevered. It's a "What if an RPG was in novel form and was funny?" book with Carl who survives a weird apocalypse only to wind up in a dungeon RPG along with his ex-girlfriend's cat who gets some buffs so that she can talk. There's a complex ruleset and a lot of funny bits while there's also a lot of boss battles complete with weird monsters and a lot of gore. Part of a longer series, will read more.

       Book 31: The Bear at the Bird Feeder. As someone who has had a bear at her bird feeder, I read this book with interest. The author is an outdoorsy type who talks about the various kinds of animals you might see if you live near their habitats and what, if anything, you can and should do about them. The animals she discusses range from bears to alligators to foxes to skunks to wild turkeys. It's sensible advice which acknowledges the complexity of these situations.

       Today is National Library Workers Day. The library where I work has a knitters group that meets on Monday. I've never been interested in learning to knit, until now. https://ravel.me/library-card-vest

       Because of rules about non-profit status in the US and ALA's nervousness about it, advocating for *workers* is done by a separate, linked, organization called ALA-APA. This organization has been around for over two decades but ebbs and flows in its impact. It's been ebbing lately which is too bad, library work can be challenging and poorly paid, even as people are generally very supportive of libraries and their workers.https://ala-apa.org/nlwd/

       I got a second-hand Apple Watch partly so that I could help people at the library learn to use theirs. One notable difference between me and my (mostly older) patrons with our Apple Watches. I charge mine when I wake up because I track steps/sleep. They charge theirs at night because they mostly use it for fall detection and emergency SOS features.

       @vwestlife @mwichary I thought they looked familiar. I spent so much time on the New Jersey Turnpike going to and from my grandma's house as a kid.
