breaking my melancholic posting fast to sound the tocsins about the publication of the new issue of WRITING BADLY since no one has seemed to post about it on here writingbadly.substack.com/p/issue-two-...

NUCMC is no more, and thus we say goodbye to yet another collective effort i invested several years of my career to: https://loc.gov/aba/

[chronic illness] pain 2.5 / fatigue 6. i don't know if this is coming from barreling through the last few weeks or the two back to back gym days after. i've been mostly taking it easy otherwise since i've been home, and while today was the first nominal day back really at work i had to take a […]

also, something striking is that for all the issues around document pipelines and getting in updates from source data - it seems like we haven't been thinking about applying records/info management/DAM principles consistently and it feels like a MASSIVE gap in professional training and knowledge

back to thinking about how archival context is underspecified from a computation and formal perspective. if i cared less about my sanity and life i'd consider going back for a research degree in this

after ~2 weeks in chicago visiting my girlfriend~~~ i am back doing "real" work things a couple of days before i head home. back in my old grad school stomping grounds for the Archivists in the Loop symposium: https://bentley-historical-library.github.io/archivists-in-the-loop/

this is just to say that my participation in Ground Hum this year was an absolute delight. Seattle's festival for installation art, dance, and experimental electronic music is absolutely lovely, and it was a great opportunity for me to up my installation game :) https://groundhum.net

lately: played a noise show in a generator organ/7 string violin duo with a friend, still working on my LoRa art project for a february group gallery show, writing monophonic ringtones for said project, getting rid of lots of old clothes, trying to read moby-dick by the end of the month

working with my girlfriend's godfather on as my domain expert on 3d printing for an art project that needs to be done by the end of the month has been absolutely amazing.

[ph (pets); mh] dealing with a sick kitty is no fun. my little guy has struvite crystals in his urine, and peeing in the house kind of got bad at the beginning of the week. it seems like the prescription food has helped but he's still recovering. it is psychologically exhausting to have to […]

i think the mixes for my live album are more or less done!

strong recommend for kleber mendonça filho's latest, THE SECRET AGENT. a true archival thriller to say the least.

i've decided to get into meshtastic as a way to handle emergency comms with people who aren't super into tech. wish me luck

working on this live album is kind of exhausting because i'm always on the verge of it being a "catalog" of live works as they are with minimal editing (e.g. for length) and effectively full re-compositions

This is unreal. The 2026 code4lib conference has been cancelled unilaterally by Carnegie Mellon University because the Department of Education raised issues with the diversity scholarships: > An applicant must be a member of a group not well-represented within the code4lib community, including […]

i went to the bouldering gym today for the first time in a while. terribly out of practice - only sent a single, lowlevel route. but back at it again

[mh-] amidst a depressive spiral triggered by something i'd typically let roll off me and feeling very self-conscious about it. but i'm cleaning out my closet finally

there are things i feel like i need to fully commit to but don't feel like doing/can't imagine doing while being fully employed (e.g. reading reza negarestani's cyclonopedia)

out of gas and out of time

created my fingertips tracing / i don’t remember the language / translate them / look gather testify verify preserve there / either i could look for the kinds of stories but these murky waters become documentation or time travel / yet to the now and look the moment of intention: the stories

tbh i never really understood rocky horror

1) validity prevails, once again, despite the endless call to narrate 2) high desert scatters under your feet, large gusts erasing inbound footsteps 3) sixteen again: buckling parquet is cold comfort for when we hit the smooth parts

did some things to update my website because of some upcoming announcements 😶‍🌫️ imprecision.art

kathy acker interviews the spice girls: « I tell them that I’ve never been good at balancing sexual love and work. ‘Of course you can. … I can still go out and . . . flirting is natural.’ I’m listening to Mel B, but all I can think, at the moment, is how beautiful she is. »

[chronic illness] pain 5, fatigue 2-3. i can't think clearly. i slept okay, not great, not terribly. all of my joints are searing. a taste of melancholy and frustration is rolling around in my mouth and my bed feels lonely even though there is someone in the other room. #sickfile

hoarse halves of wood-sorrel and pillowed pale lillies twelve glossy petals scattering mad-reckless

my tender index finger traces the edge of the postcard and i breathe a spell into the fibers before i place a stamp on it. i walk out my front door, gently placing one foot after another, feeling the pauses between our overlapping syllables.
