I just put up a post on Instagram, and I think it sums up the year for me. So I'm linking to it here, and wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year's Eve. Here's to 2021. See you next year!

We're almost to the end of the year! On January 1st, works from 1925 will enter the public domain, including The Great Gatsby amid a plethora of great literature and music. Take a look.

Hello and happy fifth/sixth/seventh day of Christmas! (I can never figure out when it starts, exactly.)

Happy day before Christmas Eve! Our schedule will be a bit erratic through the rest of the year, in keeping with the erratic theme of 2020 in general.

Last night we drove around and looked at houses done up for the holidays. We found one in particular that has quite the website! (Also, I discovered the "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" Christmas song, which is over fifty years old, but new to me.)

Hello, and Happy Solstice and Great Conjunction!

How bad has 2020 been? So bad that YouTube won't present its annual "Rewind" retrospective! Yikes.

If you need some gift inspiration, fear not - Sanctuary has you covered, with ideas for each astrological sign! (Once again, my rising sign seems to fit better than my sun sign).

Hello and happy Tuesday! It's time for a surprise Links from Others day!

Can you believe it's already time for the "best of" lists? This year's offerings have certainly been a little different. Springwise, always a great source of information, has listed the top apps of 2020, and I'm completely enthralled by the concept of Randonautica. I think I'm going to try it out soon and will report back!

Happy Friday! Hopefully you are safe and healthy as we head into the weekend.

Last week, my mom sent a great email of street art. I went searching for more info and found that a lot of it is done by TomBob, a street artist working in NYC and New England (see some highlights here!). I also found some nice examples of Parisian street art. (We are big fans of street art here at Spooky Librarians, especially if it has some added culture jamming flavor!)

Hello! Where do you stand in the line to get vaccinated? This is a nifty little interactive tool which told me I was basically at the end of the line (which is fine with me, other people need it much more).
Tis the season, and Make Magazine has an “in-vent” calendar with daily projects!
Good news for fans of ventriloquism: The Vent Haven Museum is getting an upgrade! While it’s closed right now, you can take a (truly amazing) panoramic tour of the museum. Go and explore!

Friday at last! It's been a long week here. We're taking a long weekend to recover!
From Zazoo: A koala tried eating a Christmas tree - in someone's house! Unfortunately, it was a fake tree. Fortunately, the koala is fine, has been named Daphne, and is now eating eucalyptus leaves outside.
Also from Zazoo: "'Not Wanted' posters of Ivanka are popping up around the city. We will be on the lookout..."
Now that winter is here, we've taken to feeding the birds, and we've been getting a lot of new visitors. Bunny sent me this link to birdwatching; check out your own region if you'd like to get to know your feathery neighbors!
Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. We'll be back on Tuesday.

Greetings! It's Thursday. You know the drill. It's busy! But here's a quick link for Cincinnati-area people, about the latest Simpsons episode and those terrible depictions of our chili. Hee.

For Wednesday, we often post spooky links, but the nation's COVID stats are scary enough these days.

Hi all. It's Giving Tuesday, but it's also World AIDS Day. (And it's also a snow-filled day here, to welcome December.) Back tomorrow with more links!
