Ann, that's a ferret.

The correct answer? Robin Gibb. (No, I never found out what the song about falling out of bed might have been.)

The song was almost certainly "I Started a Joke." Although falling out of bed, hurting his head was from a different part of the song than when he started to cry, which started the whole world laughing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Unless the country is Australia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hence magicky.

GODDAMN, today is frustrating me.

Unrelated to that, I might get staff. I...I have been avoiding that diligently since Michigan. Countrywide specifically has IT career paths that avoid managing people, and you can get right up to under VP, which wasn't bad.

Maybe it would just be someone I am senior to, but adjacent to. That would be okay.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You know, librarians are really magicians if that's the kind of question they get that has 50+% of the information wrong. If you can answer a question with 40+% of the information wrong, you may be a librarian.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought tirelessly for abolition of slavery, but campaigned against limiting the franchise to men in the 15th amendment. They split with the abolitionist movement over the issue and formed a new group to fight for women's rights. The fight for women's suffrage had been explicitly put on the back burner until slavery was ended, so they were pissed off to be told that this was the blacks' moment and women had to wait. They did use some inflammatory language in arguing the injustice of giving the vote to ignorant men but not educated women, but they were justifiably angry. Sojourner Truth originally opposed the 15th amendment for that reason, but ultimately supported it as better than nothing.
