I just really want to encourage people to consider how a work makes them feel, what it says, and how it says it. Regardless of its "importance" or "prestige," you owe it to yourself to think critically about the things that you engage with Especially if you find comfort or joy in them

I'm a pass on card catalogues, but I am all-in on making sure our physical collections not only remain strong, but are designed to encourage browsing. Despite what consultant-class trends in academic libraries will tell you, our patrons actually do want stacks in the library. We should listen.

I feel lucky to have encountered Emma Ruth Rundle cold; I'd never heard of her before I saw her supporting Alcest in 2016 (?). more recently, Lip Critic for White Reaper.

it is not customary for such venerable leviathans to be at all social

In a time of slop, AI or not, it’s time to lean into niche communities and odd work by passionate weirdos with well-honed clarity of intention and craft

We need it. Not only are the classes full, but also concert halls, libraries - we've gone to a bunch of classical concerts this year as an antidote to despair and guess what - they are full. They were not as full before, but they are now. "Humanities are shrinking" is artificially imposed top down.
