  • Depends on the library. The bigger the library system, usually the more segmented the jobs are.

    Some libraries have full time “shelvers” for example. Others rely on library assistants to perform multiple roles like shelving, customer service desk, and more.

    There are also jobs like intake, where books are ordered, sorted, cataloged, and distributed to branches. But the selections for ordering are usually done by the actual librarians on staff.



  • I’m reminded of a boxing movie I saw once — The actress goes to a boxing match in her fancy gown and blood splatters on it when the guy in the ring gets socked in the face.

    I would imagine dressing up like this at a boxing match has to do with haves/have nots. Basically, they’re rich enough to watch the poors beat the shit out of each other for their enjoyment.

    It’s certainly not practical to wear your finest clothes just to get blood splattered on them.









  • I’m down with democratic capitalism as long as there are strong regulations and socialized services like medicine, fire, police, utilities, and roads. Does that make me a democratic socialist?

    I also believe that everyone should pay their fucking taxes.

    The USA has been on a downward slide after Reagan deregulated everything. There were a couple of tries at course correction afterward, but the current regime is going to dismantle everything as fast as they can.
