“
Librarians see themselves as the guardians of the First Amendment… I wouldn’t mess with them. I really didn’t realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group.
”
To celebrate our profession’s revolutionary approach toward freedom of expression,
I have created a new product line
* at the Librarian Avengers store, featuring the
Revolutionary Librarian.
She’s a deadpan librarian, wielding the Flaming Stamp of justice.
You can get her on a coffee cup, shirt, or on some glossy cards to send to your nettlesome patrons.
Yes, those are knitting needles.
*As usual, all proceeds go toward the Erica family “mortgage and random charities” fund.

I have a life-threatening peanut allergy. My lungs fill up and my throat closes and WOW are nuts a bad thing. Which is why I want these vinyl “No Peanuts” stickers by Jeeto.
Chuck and I have been trying to translate the word “peanut” into 30 languages whenever we go to a restaurant. It would be nice to have a visual aid.
When I was a kid, nobody had heard of “allergies”, so I didn’t get a lot of cred when I pouted and refused to eat my snickerdoodle. My folks fought for me when they could, but there were plenty of incidents. There was the Evil Girl Scout Leader with the PBJ, the home economics class with the peanut brittle, my forgetful grandma and the cracker jacks.
Having it in writing might help a kid stick up for herself.
So, yay to Jeeto and a generation of militant parents! Yay for continued access to oxygen!
