So, uh, the movie Weapons is weird AF. But also I had a glass of wine with dinner and I’ve only had one drink since December. So, it could be that. Or it really is weird AF

I’ve got probably two more full days of going through this rare stuff. I’m burning out but at least can see an end. I’m so mad at previous librarians who just punted this down the road by just shoving it all in storage.

The light was really good walking past the John Baptist De La Salle statue and chapel.

but going book by book is important because we have this www.abebooks.com/first-editio...

I just want to go back to finding funny inscriptions, not racist monographs

This rare stuff is totally bumming me out. I know history, but I'm not a historian for a reason. Wading through this dated language and offensive treatment is oppressive.

I'm California-born and raised, but somehow made it through elementary school without having to do a Mission project. Thank you, Oakland public schools. You knew what was up

what's left of the rare boxes to wade through is early California history. And it is gross. California history is really ugly. It's hard to keep any of it, but erasure is also bad.

Is this… allowable?

Seeing a 1776 copy of the declaration of independence was pretty neat. But I think my favorite find of the day is W. Somerset Maugham signing his books with additional commentary

In general, the boxes of “rare” stuff from storage I’m going through is just old. A few things are valuable. And then there is a first edition of the “Annual Register” from 1776 that just happens to have news of some little Declaration of Independence

The entire 1st quadrant of the regular book stacks is packed. This is really emotional.

I’ve got 4 days to reduce this pile by two thirds.

“Fish” can be both singular (one individual) and plural (multiple individuals of the same species.) “Fishes” is multiple species. 🐠 Fish 🐠🐠🐠 Fish 🐠🐡🐟 Fishes Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

The background is still the same.

We have a cutout of it, too.

The original photo is fun. I love that you can see a Brother in full outfit. The alternate angle shows the chapel in the background.

In addition to vacating the campus library, we need to vacate the off campus building we’ve had huge amounts of archival storage in. The famous Time Life photo of telephone booth stuffing was taken at our college. This is not the original phone booth. But we do have that original here.

I mean, we played the team representing our region at mixed nationals next month and finish end 3 up 4-1. Then, well, whatever. Our 15 year old skip called a hell of a game.

My team has a bye and I agreed to spare on a team if all spares. And we’re playing the best team in the league. I’m going to have regrets.

I need to post this so I can pin it and look at it every day. Because this is really how I'm looking at the world pretty much daily now.

This was when she hide Slip in the bookstacks. www.instagram.com/reel/DBrXnoF...

It’s hard to get a good pic of it. But it looks amazing in the hallway. I giggle every time. The bottom gap in the blinds is for the goat he’s walking an a leash to look out, too

In the old building, the assistant archivist had a cardboard stand up of our old famous football coach. He always freaked us out. In new temp space, she has an office with blinds on the window. But she made sure Slip is still checking on us.

Doh! It’s a Sunday so I don’t look at my calendar until now. Almost missed it is March 1 so happy birthday @dboutfront.bsky.social. You’d still be my VP pick if I ran for president

Being around my high school classmates and around all those other alums celebrating milestone years made me realize how much a miss Black ladies.

I’m back, bitches! High school alumni weekend.

No more Gaels/Bulldogs matchups because Gonzaga is leaving the conference. Bummer to lose a big rivalry like this

Oh my! SMC beat Gonzaga in Moraga. Campus will be fun Monday.

And they threw in some sesame balls. I love you Holly’s!

I’m halfway through that book and finally got Chinese food. I little embarrassed by the number of fortune cookies she gave me. I assume she thinks I’m feeding a family of 10.

Boxes-of-citrus-on-curbs season in the Bay Area. Today’s score: limes that look like lemons.

I’m gonna go to bed and not think about anything. Let’s see how that goes

Same position, different dog.

The hardest part of that survey was admitting I've worked in libraries for the maximum radio button option of years. Technically, I workin in a library right out of undergrad, but damn, it makes me feel extra old.

Library Bluesky, help my colleague out! She and a co-researcher are doing a follow-up survey on experiences with social media platforms for library-related professional development and/or networking. Participate and share! berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I mean, the mountain is just showing off today.

My calendar was mostly empty for the first time all semester so I planed a WFH day. Woke up and saw the weather and said F- it, vacation day half day. I regret nothing.

She has my heart. And also has my feet going numb.

And oddly enough, it was in front of the hospital. Like literally in front of

Well I just missed seeing someone get hit by a car by maybe a minute. And I was one of 4 people to actually seem to care. Dude is laid out in the middle of the lanes and people just drove around him. I at least stopped to ask if the two people with him needed help. Only one other person did that.

I’m reading a book that takes place in SF Chinatown and I’ve never wanted Chinese food more than right now

I have my hockey chops. I’ve got a hell of a Jeremy Roenick story to prove it.

There was something else I posted that got reshared and I ended up getting hockey-plained and… I really don’t need that. I’ve kind of been around hockey awhile now.

When I made my comment about the men’s team yesterday that keeps getting reshared, the 5 players hadn’t yet said they weren’t going to go. That was after I said the thing. No need to “correct” me. I do actually know things.

We have an official aquatics program now, and the swimmers have started practicing, and holy forever intimated, Batman. They are machines! Watching them was my treadmill entertainment and wow.

And now I have 4 weeks of no distraction on the treadmill? So maybe there is absolutely no good news to it. I take it all back.

The good news about Crosby being out is I can skip after work treadmilling to watch the game. Bad news is I had to treadmill this week anyway so I had to do it before work today. And it was boring

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Don’t they have work to get to?
