My old roommate is a nurse and I watched her dream self trace a triangle on her head to show me how to relieve pressure in the skull (not real obviously) and then a perfect triangular prism bloodlessly lifted out of her head and she just put the block of head contents down on a counter and kept walking around treating patients. And that feels like information you should share with someone even if it's not real!!

Half the time I tell whoever was in my dream about it, some sort of premonition is revealed that I would never have known if I hadn’t told them. For example I had a dream I was sitting at a table with my best friend talking about her new fling and I let out the craziest hiccup noise and felt embarrassed. After I told her this she told me her new boo has a hiccup tik and it’s one of the obstacles with them moving forward… weird wild shit

me and my friend who shall remain nameless have a shared note in the notes app where we log our dreams. we've been doing this for a few weeks now, and it's a great way to keep track of my own subconscious and learn more about my friend.
one day i texted my friend "hey you have pretty violent dreams" and they were like "yeah" and i was like "how do you differentiate between dreams and nightmares" and their exact words were "I win in dream" [sic] and that's the hardest text i've ever read

most recently dreamt I was at the hospital and they told me my teeth would fall out (currently recovering from a jaw injury lol); bumped into 3 random people I knew there and felt
Weird that they were hanging out at the hospital without me(?)
vaguely related: I get told I’ve been in someone‘s dream all the time, 2 the point where I think I must be very active on the astral plane

I’m sick of feeling powerless so my new coping strategy is to not let a stupid system bully me into quiet despair. I’m learning how to use my state’s General Assembly’s online bill tracker and I’m subscribing to email updates for the agendas and the public hearings of the legislative committees I’m most concerned about. I’m memorizing all my legislators‘ names and emailing and calling regularly.
Also: Check to see if your state’s Legislative Library has Libguides that explain in layman’s terms what bills are passing in your state and other educational/legislative resources you have freely available to you!!!

You will make about 60k if you're lucky unless you become a manager, and you will have 35k of debt or more from grad school (online grad school is cheaper sometimes and no one cares where you get the degree anyways). And sometimes you work for a university (which is essentially a corporation) or the government. But in general everyone in your field will believe in a code of ethics that raises the dignity of humanity above the mire of misinformation and censorship. And you help empower people with the information literacy to move through the world as confident capable individuals/professionals/scholars. Community college libraries are my favorite environment I've worked in so far because the students are cool, driven, and diverse in age and background. Public libraries also do amazing social work in 2025 to provide services to their communities like harm reduction, networks of resources for unhoused people, language teaching, professional development, basic technology training, literally just being a third space, I could go on forever. It definitely is a career that exists because of neoliberalism I'm not going to lie, like American public libraries only exist because robber barons in the 1900s donated a mind boggling amount of grants to towns across the country to build them (not sure about other countries' history with this to be fair). All that being said I decided I wanted to be a librarian when I was 16 and I've been committed to that path for 11 years with no regret.
To add a personal note to this rec and emphasize how meaningful this work really is, I'm going to indulge in a story because I could genuinely cry thinking about all the kind, interesting people I've met who have chosen to be vulnerable with me about their needs and goals. A couple years ago I helped an older man for multiple hours to remember his email login so he could get a copy of his birth certificate from his son-in-law who had emailed a scan of the physical copy which was in another country. The stakes were incredibly high and the task seemed virtually impossible because we didn't even have an email address to start. He was having trouble reaching his son-in-law to ask for help because of the time difference, and he needed the scan ASAP. We were together for so long I learned a lot about him. He talked to me about Islam and Christianity and angels. And then we got it! It's probably one of the defining moments of my career and to me is one of the most impactful things I've ever done.
So there's my job rec lol!
