#QuestionOfTheDay follow up question, make up a fake group chat you absolutely would not want to be accidentally added into because of what you'd probably read/see/get tmi about.
(examples of what I mean by making up a fake group chat: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.

I had a conversation this afternoon with the director of my regional public library, about Libby. She said that tagging books as Notify Me is what tells her what to buy. Libby notifies her about the requests for books from users, and if any book has more than three requests, she orders it. So using Notify Me is important!!!

#QuestionOfTheDay for no particular reason, make up a fake group chat that you'd want to be accidentally added to.

Three different eyeshadow palettes created today's look. I wanted to sparkle for tonight's reading of Proud Pink Sky!
Actual image of me considering quitting my work in #infosec and instead running away somewhere to open a book store.
In which I will:
hopefully have zero customers instead drink coffee all day glare at any 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 customers read
What this boils down to I think is my love of #books and #libraries and my hatred of people.
Also, even odds on whether I will actually wear a bunny custume as I sit in said book store.

Book Review
A Grimm Sacrifice (Grimm’s War, #4)
Just finished the 4th book of this series. It might start slow but picks up with action packed chapters towards the end.
I was not expecting to rate it this high but won me over at the end.
I already bought the 5th book and it's loaded on my Kindle

Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell #translation
Ch. 25
There was something formless and perfect
before the universe was born.
It is serene. Empty.
Solitary. Unchanging.
Infinite. Eternally present.
It is the mother of the universe.
For lack of a better name,
I call it the Tao.
It flows through all things,
inside and outside, and returns
to the origin of all things.
The Tao is great.
The universe is great.
Earth is great.
Man is great.
These are the four great powers.
Man follows the earth.
Earth follows the universe.
The universe follows the Tao.
The Tao follows only itself.

Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell #translation
Ch. 23
Express yourself completely,
then keep quiet.
Be like the forces of nature:
when it blows, there is only wind;
when it rains, there is only rain;
when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.
If you open yourself to the Tao,
you are at one with the Tao
and you can embody it completely.
If you open yourself to insight,
you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
If you open yourself to loss,
you are at one with loss
and you can accept it completely.
Open yourself to the Tao,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.

Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell #translation
Ch. 22
If you want to become whole,
let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight,
let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything,
give everything up.
The Master, by residing in the Tao,
sets an example for all beings.
Because he doesn’t display himself,
people can see his light.
Because he has nothing to prove,
people can trust his words.
Because he doesn’t know who he is,
people recognize themselves in him.
Because he has no goad in mind,
everything he does succeeds.
When the ancient Masters said,
“If you want to be given everything,
give everything up,”
they weren’t using empty phrases.
Only in being lived by the Tao
can you be truly yourself.
