Humanities and social science profs are finding out how natural scientists treat authorship and we are losing our damn minds.

Ya’ll, it happened

Ya’ll - a dirty London fog?? I’m so tired and so excited

The bots found our newly launched ASpace PUI and it’s basically unusable for researchers now 🫠

🎶every library hold is coming up all at once 🎶

Hey #digipres folks, anyone want to contribute to this bloggERS! call? #digitalarchivesfail Redux: a Celebration of Failure saaers.wordpress.com/2026/04/29/c...

Do I know anyone in or familiar with Chicago? What’s the best way to kill 36 hours there?

Big fan of the whoever decorated for this Kentucky Derby party

Golden Tempo is an insane name for a horse that chills for the whole race and hits the jets with 1/8 of a mile to go

this is the practitioner-facing underbelly of the fact that unis don’t build infrastructure, jusy digital CV lines that rapidly create technical debt

Is every Netflix show just an exercise in spotting product placements?

I miss the person I was before knowing that there are undergrads at Ivy League schools who can’t alphabetize

Intern asked if what they were holding was a floppy disk (it was) and now I must walk into the sea

One thing I wasn’t expecting when we got a cat was having to hide our shoes. I thought that was more of a dog issue but apparently cats also like to steal shoes 🥲

"The Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget proposes to eliminate the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and provides $38 million to conduct an orderly shutdown of the Agency." bit.ly/41M4pvK

The No. 1 reason aviation is so safe is that there are at least two of absolutely everything, redundancies on the redundancies. No single human should have ever been expected to perform this perfectly, it isn’t possible and shouldn’t even be legal. We need hearings now.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

I thought the cat was sick because she let me sleep in but it was just daylight savings

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

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 😭

Dina is not amused by the puppy bowl

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

The same museum getting rid of their institutional archivist? …shocking

Are flare jeans really coming back?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Dan Brown is my Colleen Hoover. I don’t even care

Can’t decide if missing every single product placement in Nobody Wants This S2 means I’m an advertiser’s dream or nightmare demographic

Love being super embarrassed about my larger institution on the Friday of a week where they’ve failed to help the archives during an environmental issue

Okay, I've seen enough. Not election night related, just been a long year and I have seen way too many things

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation. Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Gemini: Wrestling with your demons is usually a metaphor for boring things like developing effective coping strategies and discipline. Not today though. Today Satan is going to hit you with a folding chair.
