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

when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”
no actually me and everyone else who’s ever watched crimson peak were brainwashed by guillermo del toro into believing that incest and violence are cool and awesome. sorry
Horrifying that this pearl-clutching over horror actually being dark is unironically becoming A Thing…

The irony of the “umm incest and violence are bad and only evil men would be interested in that 😡” Puritanism being pedaled is that it guarantees that only men get to write about anything taboo and thus dark media is overwhelmingly misogynist.
It’s genuinely sickening how much vile harassment marginalized artists get for making anything darker than Owl House or whatever the Kids Cartoon De Jour is, because these people know how much easier it is to destroy an artist’s life if they’re already marginalized in some way.
Ohh this exactly ^^
Marginalised people (women included btw) are always always held to a much higher standard even in terms of respectability, policed often by members of their own community in a bid to appear more respectable, policed by supposed leftists who don't want to feel the slightest bit of discomfort to their protected conservative worldview which they never questioned, and at the end of it all privileged men are always going to be the only ones writing any controversial genre fiction because that's not gonna be a "hard sell" because no one's coming after them or anything. And so horror remains misogynistic and racist because the moment there's anything actually horrifying, nuanced, or unsanitized entertained in fiction by a marginalised person there's an angry horde with pitchforks already gathering at their window for it
70 year old man leaving a youtube comment on a Shakira music video: Love seeing that vargonna shake. My brother died in Saigon
I can’t get over this little girl…..pretending to be long dead while someone digs up her body out of the ground. The jewelry laid out beside her…the hair clips….this is everything
I LOVE this she’s not even pretending to be an archaeologist she’s pretending she’s the long-dead mummified remains of a Celtic princess who’s been excavated by an archaeologist I’m living for it
