Stellathyst - Stellathyst!

Another thing I've noticed working as a children's librarian is like... kids get so Paralyzed By Choice and the adults in their lives never really register why. Like, for example, we have little scavenger hunt sheets in the children's section and when a kid completes it, they get to pick out a cute eraser from our prize basket. We also have a little toy prize chest as part of our "1000 books before Kindergarten" challenge for when kids complete 100 books--and kids will spend minutes carefully picking through everything while their parents are shooting us anxious looks like "sorry they're taking so long! I know this is silly and it's completely ridiculous that my child is taking so long to choose between a bath toy and a cube puzzle because these are cheap and arbitrary objects! Hurry up, Harper! Just pick something! You're embarrassing me!!" But in the kids' perspective, they already have so little control over what objects come into their lives, and in this case, the object represents labor and effort on their end, so of course they feel they must choose very carefully. I've always been an anxious and indecisive person, so it's striking to see how being rushed really doesn't help that and really only makes it harder for kids to figure out what they want.

MORSE'S PUZZLE WEEK

From MARCH 30 to APRIL 13, MORSE will be offering puzzles to the audience aligned with the ordinary Callsigns post schedule [once every 3 days]

During these two weeks, the askbox will be open for the purpose of receiving answers. DO NOT REBLOG PUZZLE POSTS WITH YOUR ANSWERS! Morse will reveal the audience's correct answers after each puzzle.

Guidelines for askbox submissions are as follows: 1] Keep all submissions polite, respectful, safe for work, and relevant! 2] Morse is not answering questions; he doesn't properly trust the audience. Asks that are not answers for each day's puzzle will be ignored. 3] Morse will NOT remember any interactions through the transition into the main storyline. Things to keep in mind: 1] As the sole artist [and a freak trying not to be a super-senior], I may be late with answer-posting. Don't freak out! If I make the mistake of missing one to an extreme degree, it will be combined with the next one. 2] YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY! PLEASE WORK TOGETHER IF YOU NEED TO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS BY YOURSELF. BE FRIENDLY! MAKE FRIENDS! 3] i believe in you! :D

ORDINARY CALLSIGNS POSTING WILL RESUME ON A DATE I AM NOT SURE OF YET. STAY TUNED TO THIS STATION FOR UPDATES.

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

okay so i went to a unit-wide choir concert i was part of tonight which is every year. today, one of the high schoolers had a love song harmonizing about mashed potatoes and the other group afterward was a very energetic acapella arrangement of william tell overture complete with a LOT of movement on the bleachers
