Long shot! My library is adding this book in Swampy Cree and would like to update the catalog record to include the title in the Cree syllabics. Could anyone provide it or point to a place I could copy-and-paste from? It's Wild Berries/Pakwa Che Menisu by Julie Flett.

My favorite covers votes. For @wxpnfm.bsky.social

The children's books collection being transferred through cataloging is continually distracting.

From a Kroger Salads cook booklet, 1957. No artist credit (unfortunately, very typical at that time). This is from my own collection and I scanned and posted this booklet on my Flickr back in 2006. I'll share more in this 🧵. #wardsmorguefile #moreartlessdoom

Was weeding old CD mixes and found my rip of Rocky Horror in Norwegian. Been a minute! via WFMU: blog.wfmu.org/freeform/200...

For the past year or so, my colleagues and I have been working with the authors of Our Bodies Ourselves, as well as the successor org to the Boston Women's Health Course Collective to digitize the very early printings of this once (and still) radical text: ourbodiesourselves.org/the-latest/b...

a Greater Boston-wide zine crawl in April? don't mind if I do... #Zines #BostonMA #SomervilleMA

In an effort to distract, if fleetingly, from These Uncertain Times, I’m going to post here occasionally about some of my favorite pantry/fridge staples: the foods/drinks/spices I replace as soon I deplete them. Threading here still sucks so I’m going to tag them: #NoelMuStaple .

Among the many sickening impacts of IMLS landing on the chopping block: most tribal libraries absolutely depend on IMLS basic grants. bsky.app/profile/roop...

Stand Up For Science in Boston was fierce!

I’m working on trying to categorize the zine library in the school’s comics homeroom…

The unionized staff of the Boston Public Library need your help! A member of the Boston Public Library Professional Staff Union, Eve, had her request to withdraw hours from the sick bank denied by Boston Public Library management. Sign the petition at bit.ly/sickbankpetition to add your name!

This is nasty, a librarian colleague is being denied further use of the Sick Leave Bank as she undergoes treatment for cancer. Please sign the petition to GIVE EVE HER LEAVE!

Some very cool songs and some deeply dorky ones. Go get @brianabreaks.bsky.social’s new book Raised By Ghosts and re-experience YOUR 90s teen years *shudder* from the safety of middle age

Just sharing what I got with my $20 Equifax settlement dough. Jiggly jello dish towel! from etsy seller KeepTheFaye.

Finally catching up on @summerpierre.bsky.social’s latest and what a treat. Love every entry of Paper Pencil Life, but this one made me want to just read, grab a book off each shelf and read.

Going through my camera roll for motivation before I ring in the new year at my art table, and finding that once again the work of my own kindergartners is what inspires me the most.

Hello, my Zine and LGBTQIA+ library peeps. I won some things from the LGBTQ Iowa Archives & Library at ILA. I would love to send some of these out in the mail! Please DM me about the thing(s) you're interested in. I would like to ensure everyone gets at least one thing they want.

Always a pleasure to hear @nancybarile.bsky.social speak! She’s so generous with her stories, a great writer, and punk rock in all things.

If you had fun at the Spooktastic Book Fair this year, and wanted to follow every guest all at once (minus a few not yet on Bluesky), here’s your chance!

Seeing lots of well-earned love for the Storygraph here. One toy I like: generating stats from some past month to get a pretty graphic of what my fave reads were. This is last year when I was wrapped up in gold by @mgillman.bsky.social & @sadiehartmann.bsky.social & @shanehawk.com --sweet memories!

Anyone else out there do any DIY (or non DIY) archive work? Specifically in music? Point me to their accounts so I can follow them.
