Oh never mind, the mayor said no work

I got my hopes up for remote work tomorrow but the snow is not snowing 😭

Tennessee** sorry!

Made it 17 minutes in before I had to step away. Seeing a side by side if Nazi Germany/Texas book burnings is a bit too much for a Tuesday morning 😭

Dilute tortie cat laying on a blanket covered couch with a “I’m not impressed” look on her face

Dina is not amused by the puppy bowl

There’s finally 40 degree weather in the forecast and people are going to get feral

I know so little about curling that I NEED that commentary to know to feel 😅

Never thought I’d see a curling throw described as “disaster”

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I have yet to encounter a working escalator today - maybe @mta.info can focus on actual upgrades instead of new entry turnstiles?

Between the guy aggressively flossing on the subway and getting a senior discount at Dunkin - I don’t know what the tone of the day will be

Tortie/tabby mix cat laying on her back with her paw in the air. She has her eyes closed and looks cute which is deceiving because she is sometimes a monster

The cat went to the sitter for the first time and she was described as “talkative” which I’m pretty sure is the polite way of saying “screaming goblin monster” because sometimes that’s what she is

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

And when we can buy again it’ll be with increased prices because capitalism

I dunno, a computer supplier halting all sales for a month because there’s a memory and storage shortage due it AI seems bad

NYAM has some amazing stuff and lovely people (me admiring from my small medical archive)

These are the Sunday-est scaries to ever Sunday scary

2/3 of the cookies done (lemon crinkle and m&m sugar) - up next is peanut butter blossoms!

::shudders in archivist::

Tortie/tabby cat on the ground with a blue feathered fish in her mouth and laying in front of a stuffed penguin.

The gremlin got her first holiday presents tonight and immediately started listening to her demons

Omg is it long!?! I thought it would be like 90 mins max 😭

Is this the year I finally watch Die Hard?

I can't imagine not caring about all the cruel and senseless and seemingly endless murder in our world, and it's a shame that others can

Like, if you’re a librarian, please tell me if I’m out of line but I think the fact that you can’t ILL an archival collection is pretty common knowledge???

The part I hate about peer review is I’m sitting here trying to explain to librarians that archival collections don’t circulate. Like librarianship is not that far from archival work and the fact that I’ve had to do it two rounds in a row makes me want to burn my computer

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” -my institution in December apparently

What if I just bake a shit ton of holiday cookies? Will that bring back joy?

Someone trying to schedule a research appointment today or Friday since they’re “in town for the holiday” literally has me considering walking into the sea

Chewy is hands down the best customer service I’ve ever experienced

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.
