Yes BUT. This specific desk is in a library so a parent that needs to use a library computer can do their work and have a little ease in managing their kiddo. In a library environment this is less productivity culture bullshit and more ‘oh this is a fantastic solution to a difficult situation library staff see 8 times a day’. Is it still productivity culture bullshit because this parent may not have affordable childcare or internet available to them? Yes. Am I glad it exists in a library environment to fill a demonstrated need? Hell yeah.
and keeps library staff from having to act as babysitters…
dear GOD we could use a couple of these. we keep crayons and coloring books on hand for the ones old enough for that, but the wee ones squirming and fussing in laps while the parents are fighting with job applications or convincing gmail’s current 2-step verification to let them in so they can print off a return label (both of which i have seen)? this would be SO NICE.
library groups have been loving this & are spreading the word & actively trying to purchase/create similar things in different systems
remembering that one genre of posts where a local police station’s twitter/facebook account would post something like “BIG BUST! A VIOLENT DRUG DEALER HAS JUST ARRESTED! ONE LESS CRIMINAL WANDERING THE STREETS!” and they post a picture of what was confiscated and its the teensiest weensiest dimebag of pot, a $5 pocket knife, and a rusty 100 year old pistol
i genuinely dont care if the creation of all media comes to a screeching halt btw i will very gladly live with no new movies no new tv shows no new anything for years if that’s what it takes for the people who create them to be treated like human beings. i hope every other facet of the entertainment industry goes on strike too and i hope all the ones that havent unionised yet will. i want media creation to become completely impossible and i want the people who could make it possible again to hold out until they get every single thing they want. btw
oh my god this vid from a /ck/ thread is incredible
my kinda diet
What
This video looks like how it feels when youre crying in your bed at 3 am out of anxiety and youre trying to cheer yourself up by watching videos but all it does is make your brain feel more erratic.
People seemed to really like last year’s critters, so I’m back to celebrate Ace Week again with some more simple little artworks of silly little creatures. ✨Keep being amazing, fellow aces.✨
