Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I’ve seen that theory floated to explain the “help wanted” signs at fast food places that never come down.
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

Medical conditions also play a role in it. I’m on medications that make me wicked susceptible to overheating. I start melting at 75°F if there is even a mild amount of humidity. And that’s at home where I can dress comfortably.
And sometimes those recommendations get implemented in awful ways in public buildings. And that’s why my office will be hot and humid when I get to work on Monday–the A/C gets turned off over the weekend and it takes forever to catch up on Monday. Never mind that I work in a library and books do not deal well with changing temperature and (especially) high humidity.
I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(
I still get that when I buy things secondhand, from Mercari, Abe books, or other online thrift stores. I’m waiting for a cute tokidoki vinyl figure to show up. Maybe this week, maybe next. Who knows?
They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
My grandma watched Fox News and wasn’t a moron. To be fair, she was also wicked deep into her dementia.
I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.
As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I’m of two minds.
I’ve seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.
If you’re going to overdose, I’d rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you’re going to engage in public sex please don’t do it around people that aren’t into that. There are private clubs for that.
I know! It should be “hot diggity dog”.
