ok i got the new keyboard and it feels a lot better than the other one. not as loud as i thought it was going to be. like, i felt that the click was going to have more of a thud to it

does vanilla even grow in france?

sometimes i think about how unnecessary what i write on here is. that no one will really ever read this or that even if they do, tehy won;t care cause there'e nothing inherently interesting here. sometimes it gets me down a little, but ultimately, i knew all that when i started doing this a few years ago. so it's not the biggest insight

one thing that is bothering me is how the fact that the library has not reopened is a direct result of the city deeming the work and purpose that libraries serve (ie. services that lower income people use freqeuntly) aren't "necessary" enough to put the effor tin to reopen. that the computer access they have is too much of a risk. that something as simple as checking out books through a curbside program at every location isn't necessary. that even just the space they offer to homeless people, considering it's midsummer in texas, is too risky. look, i just want the place that i would nromally work at to reopen, along with the library system. it's what i need to feel normal. and as i see all kinds of businesses and restaraunts and whatever other shit is reopened, i feel that this is down out of unwillingness to serve people. if a library is too risky, why are restaraunts not? why is going to a weekend brunch not deemed as dangerous as going to check out a book?

i just looked into it and a good amount are doing a crubside thing, but not all of them. why? if its a saftey thing, then a lot of other businesses are more 'non-esssential'

i put this back in my bio so that i can just write stuff here and not tweet as much

got a lot of typos cause i'm not worried about that right now

i know sofia attended some car protests out in her part of the country, but now that i saw the fliers for one here, i think they're kinda inaccesbile. like, you need a car to go to one? and gas? a license? insurence? etcetc. and while you can tag along with someone, kinda diminishes the whole 'social distancing' aspect some. i guess the other issue is that the ones that my friend went to were at specific locations. there was even one like that here a month ago or so. at a ice location. but to have it just drive around within the loop, idk, seems like creating noise for the sake of creating noise, which while you could argue that about all protests, at least the ones on foot don't worsen the air quality. at least it's scheduled on a saturday, so that those going out for lunch have a bit of a covid show. even with all this said, i would be open to going, but i'm uninsured and am not taking that risk

i want to get my hair cut by that russian guy in prospect heights. at least i think it was prospect heights
