@platypus there’s a bus stop outside newark high school, so usually i’m coming up delaware ave which is like, technically walkable but also means you come up on the back of the building with basically no indication of where you should be heading to actually get inside. so weird to figure out, especially the first time I went. Which sucks because libraries should be welcoming to people traveling by bus/bike/foot! Those are usually the people most in need of library services!

I hope we can solidly blame that one on the 70’s and do something better with the new building!

@platypus the misrepresentation does seem likely to annoy the many older community members who remember the redesign 😅

that said i def agree that some aspects of the library are due for an upgrade, particularly the lack of outdoor spaces (its fine if you drive in and park but the current library is weirdly intimidating to approach on foot right now) and i don’t particularly care if it’s due for an upgrade bc the 2000s were a long time ago or the 1970s were haha

@yesterdaychild do they have fedi vibes?

@wallhackio no why is it called that

@wallhackio why

@purplecoww i would much rather my friends/community say something when they’re hurting than keep quiet for the sake of keeping my feed “pure” or whatever!

I hope the health issues resolve themselves soon—it’s such a difficult thing to handle when you’re already busy and stressed (even when its the busy and stressed causing it)

@purplecoww thats so rough :( 🫂🫂🫂

@Anke huh not sure what they’re doing with the cream of tartar, that doesnt seem necessary for a simple sauce but yeah the other two will likely get you for a lot of US caramel recipes 😅

@Anke well now i’m curious—what were they?

@platypus @artcollisions @hugh something that might actually be fixable if you can get her to redirect her ire towards the city!

@artcollisions eh i mean on the other hand, the property beside us did some work a few years back which lead to all of their rainwater getting funneled into our yard—suddenly all our plants were drowning! Not saying @platypus has made those kinds of changes, or that her neighbor has any reason to think she did! but there are definitely circumstances when its reasonable for your neighbors to get annoyed about your rainwater drainage and ask you to fix it.

@aescling @Lady this does not answer the question
