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

Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.
Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.
URGING you to consider firework alternatives:
- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky
- dropping a stack of large books on the floor
- wrapping a toga around a candle
- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos
Edit: guys. There’s so many more pictures. Idk how many people this will reach, but your questions have mostly been answered in a different reblog. The notes are funny. Please check them out.
um excuse me? when did we all decide that the value of a degree rested on the earnings after graduation? and how can you honestly compare the skills learned in a humanities degree to those of a vocational degree like nursing or even engineering? and what happened to ummmm i dunno learning because learning is fun and good and knowledge for the sake of knowledge? and of course this is going to marginalise people who are already marginalised because why wouldn’t it.

ALTYou love to see it. (Not the destruction of trees, obvs, but shitheads meeting their oncoming comeuppance at the hands of trees.)
For those not understanding why tree law is so fascinating, tree law is hilariously punitive. If I chop down your 20-year old tree, not only do I owe you the cash value of a 20-year old tree of the same species, but I also owe three times that cost in punitive damages.
And tree costs go up insanely quickly when they need to be a certain age.
Okay, I too would love to see them pay for this, but those trees haven't been 'butchered', chopped down, or killed. They'll be completely fine. They've just been pollarded - by chopping off the branches, new ones will now grow back nice and strong, while keeping the trees at a manageable height. That's a normal tree management technique, especially for street trees that need to be monitored for height and dodgy limbs that might otherwise land on people.
Did they have permission to do it from the owner? If not, there might be something there. But those trees are still perfectly healthy - you can see in the photo, they have plenty of leafy offshoots. I strongly suspect this was entirely legal - just immoral.
