Super Bowl ads are just this weird time where we get dispatches from the oligarchy about what they think our values should be

Again, AGAIN, for THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP posting Epstein stuff in images with no alt text you’re bypassing moderation for people who need it off their screens. you’re literally doing NOTHING helpful to any of the victims and actively harming others

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Just found out my high school quarterback retired from the Patriots in 2024, there goes my one relevant Super Bowl fun fact

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

i'm actually glad you didn't like my post, you have a smelly fingers vibe and was hoping you wouldn't touch it

Fobazi's passing is heartbreaking. Her love for Elena was truly inspiring, and now Elena faces immense financial burdens. Please consider donating or sharing to help ease her stress during this difficult time. Thank you for your support. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

"Academic staff aren’t included in recognition systems, so their work remains invisible; faculty don’t see them being recognized, so assume no significant intellectual work is happening; this assumption justifies continued cultural and structural exclusion." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

booooooooooo!!!! that's PROVENANCE now

before I make a lot of stupid jokes about how I don't watch football this weekend, I'd like to say earnestly that I think we should stop pretending that several decades of televised football is a sacred institution and acknowledge our moral obligation as a society to shut down the CTE factory

I wrote about some of the unreasonable requests I've gotten as a candidate for library jobs, and how employers might make the interview process less dehumanizing. acrlog.org/2026/02/05/m... 📚

I do not give a shit what other people think about me, as long as they like me and think I'm funny and smart, literally could not care less

There is way too much crime in Philadelphia. I don't have any evidence for this but I keep getting called for jury duty so I have to assume

Oh I thought this was fluff (and was stoked) but it goes HARD immediately

Does anyone have any good examples of how shared governance is defined/implemented in the faculty handbook of an institution of higher learning?

The auteur lens of the creator economy too-often makes invisible the infrastructure necessary to do most work well. That is exponentially more true for work like journalism & scholarship that needs institutional memory, costly databases, EDITORS, fact-checking, & when really vital/risky, LAWYERS.

beyond thrilled to have an essay out in the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social about the women who profoundly impacted the works of Henry James, T.S. Eliot, Vladimir Nabokov, and Lev Tolstoy, and the archival evidence they left behind: publicdomainreview.org/essay/typing...

AWS generates an estimated 50-70% of Amazon’s income according to most sources, which I feel compelled to remind people trying to organize an Amazon retail boycott meant for Bezos. We have to think more critically about how we apply pressure to corporate powers.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

This is a good thread and better way of getting at what I was trying to tease out the other day re: “vibe coding” There are a shifting set of crucial judgments implicit in the process that will require strong foundations in the actual skills and theory of code and STS to use effectively

she got spooked by its trajectory this morning, bolted and made me fall on the ice, then dragged me towards home like she was delivering diphtheria medicine to an Alaskan village

FSU Libraries debut ‘Add to the Archive at Strozier,’ inviting students to shape the university’s historical record 📚 news.fsu.edu/news/student...

if the body keeps the score I think we should at least get a mercy rule

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Do you think that increased dependence on the only available psychological safety through escapism via fantasy worlds is ultimately widening the chasm between the warm cocoon and the terrors of reality, making it harder and harder to emerge? Or like do you think I’m good

This is who runs this account

my dog has developed a new favorite winter game: climbing to the top of a snowbank, pooping, and then watching the turd roll all the way down. it’s pure joy for her

A potentially engaging distraction: watch me close out a conference on AI in LAM by talking about how all the vagaries of archival description and discovery that LLMs can't address www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hm_...

This is an aside, but like… in 50 years time, good luck convincing any regular person that th etymology of “trumped up charges” doesn’t come back to this era

I think it's really important in general that we learn about the labor conditions and compensation structures of industries that intersect with our lives. For example, someone recently told me that I should quit my academic library job to make the big bucks doing entry-level coding for video games.

not sure whether to call a massage therapist, a physical therapist, a chiropractor, or an exorcist

Oh nooooo! Here’s William Morris’ St James wallpaper leaf detail 😩

Sometimes I feel cool, and sometimes I cry a little because I paid real American USD for a digital image of Nana the dog from Peter Pan to follow me around in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and she brings me sticks.

The other thing I'm reflecting on today is having to fight through a deathtrap obstacle course to get through a largely unshoveled West Philly, waiting an extra 40 minutes outside for the train, and then magically arriving in nearby Swarthmore where every path has been meticulously cleared

I've been doing some personal experiments in "vibe coding" (very scoped, local, non-commercial, with guardrails, but I respect that many folks reject the idea that we can do this at all with any kind of ethical framework in place. I am a shifting combination of ambivalent critical energies) 1/

I retweet your typos because to me you are perfect just the way you are. It's the journey and love builds roads, dudes. I saw your heart not the letters you use oh my goodness this is hippie weed

I can feel in the very fabric of my DNA that I was built for hibernation. My molecules know that I was not meant to be awake for this

"The cure is simple," says the doctor. "Go to Buckinghamshire Archives and research using their wide range of documents covering 800 years of county history. You'll feel better." "But doctor!" cried the archive, home of a wide range of documents covering 800 years of county history.

Some academic habits are maladaptive in wider society. But “cite your sources every time” — and information literacy habits more generally — deserves to be educational priority number one right now

This reminds of a quote I saw online, that the reason ADHD appeared to disappear in adulthood is that men outsourced their executive function issues to their secretaries and wives, and ouch (and ADHD women were either undiagnosed or burnt out by trying to compensate without support)

Very excited to publish this interview with Greg Wiedeman on @bloggers.bsky.social! Greg has good insights on simplifying LAM tech to be sustainable in the context of limited resources. It was great to talk to him, and I'm glad to share our conversation saaers.wordpress.com/2026/01/21/k...

I need recommendations for gaming/desk chairs but ONLY if you're 5'2", arthritic, and bammin slammin bootylicious

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

having flashbacks to the ice storm in 2022 that put multiple vulnerable loved ones in critical danger and everyone on the internet was like "haha TExas get owned"

“This is not who we are” is not a denial of the atrocities of the American past or present. It is an assertion of communal values in the present and communal intentions for the future.

She should win just for this production photo where she looks cool as shit
