Picked up and then devoured this graphic novel today! Was so impressed with how @haridraws.bsky.social played with Austen inspiration and real historical aspects of queer lives, people of color, and class expectations in Regency England. Strongly recommend!

it would be kind of metal if the Isabella Stewart Gardner team had just been lying in wait since the 90s training for this and finally struck a second time

It's not a Storrowing unless it's on the native concrete of Boston. Otherwise it's just a sparkling truck peeling.

Currently staying up too late at night reading Woodworking, and it is SO. GOOD. Run, don't walk, to your local bookstore/library! Congratulations, @emilystjams.bsky.social

@thatandromeda.bsky.social amazing talk at Code4Lib! Informative and hilarious, plus engaging for the livestream crowd as well. Great job! 📚

perhaps the screams from the modems in the 90s were pleas to take the internet no further

Big Spatula really got me with this one, i already tossed and replaced my favorite spatula

wrote a fun little something for Food & Wine about how bowls are still the ideal serving-ware vessel, and almost always the best one, even as the era of bowls being cool likely comes to an end. there’s maybe some stuff about hosts and guests and generosity and grace in here, too

A very “you don’t pay me enough to donate back to you” Tuesday to all my fellow nonprofit, GLAM, and academic friends
