Tales of the Nerdslut
RSS
I'm a 30ish young adult librarian in South Louisiana. My coworker refers to me as a "nerdslut" meaning that I always have a new obsession and it's always nerdy. Things I'm currently obsessed with and therefore blog about: Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Stephen King, The IT Crowd, YA books and comics, and other random things.

In addition to my demotion and pay cut leaving me with a serious lack of cash, it’s also left me with crafting withdrawals. Anyone need some card stock cut, or something pasted, some glitter perhaps?

Hi,

Allow me to introduce myself and tell a little story. My name is Amy and I am, at least I was, a teen programming specialist at my local public library. Last Thursday night I spent the evening at the library with a dozen teenagers all dressed in capes, masks, trench coats, and other…

So I know I haven’t been on here in forever but it’s because I’ve been busy looking for work and dealing with some things. The above link post was written by me on a tumblr I created for use in telling my story when applying for financial assistance. There was a time in my life when I’d never imagined asking strangers for money to help pay my bills but I’m in a tight situation and I’m not sure how to get out. I’ve tried finding freelance work and hit dead ends, I’m still working full time and going to school so I can’t really pick up a part time job. I’ve even tried baby-sitting but all of my friends with children either already have long term sitters or can’t afford to pay me. Just take a look and if you can give $1, give, and if not, please pray that I am able to find good work soon. 

Anyone looking for extra monies for school (cause I know I am) Fastweb matches you with a ton of great scholarships for free. Just click the link and answer a few questions. Lots of the scholarships are super easy to apply for with no essays involved.

Also, shout out to John and Hank Green for teaching more about being a aware responsible adult than my parents ever have. I’m kind of ashamed to admit this but until now, I was unaware of how to contact my legislative leaders, and I really didn’t know what I well written request looked like. Now I have an example and outline of how to voice my opinions on matters that are important to me with the people who actually have the power to do something about it.

It’s HANKO DE MAYO!!!!!

It’s Hanko de Mayo! We all know Hank loves the James Webb Space Telescope, so hopefully he’ll like our gift. In addition to his gift, nerdfighteria is celebrating Hank’s birthday by letting our elected officials know that Increasing Awesome through scientific exploration is important to us. You’ll find the email I wrote my congressperson and senators below. You can copy it, amend it, or write your own.

Click through for info on how to write to your Congressman (if you’re in the US)!

Post your video responses to wish Hank a very happy Hanko de Mayo!

Happy Birthday, Hank! I wrote my congressman. Do your part in helping sciences and space exploration grow.
