It's going to be a great time!

Hey #RBMS26, my phone died so if you're trying to find me you'll need to do it the old fashioned way. Technology is such an interesting thing to deal with!

Two weeks to apply for the tenth and final Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize! $1000 for an outstanding book collection built by a woman, aged 30 or younger. The Knicks did it – now it’s your year! #honeyandwaxprize #honeyandwaxbookcollectingprize

Does anyone know of any short-term fellowships or other funding I could apply for to help me get to Germany in September? Trying to attend a conference, but internal funding hasn't come through. Anything related to #BookHistory #DisabilityStudies or #DigitalHumanities. Thanks!

I also just got to see the Goodyear Blimp at the Lexington airport? This is just a wacky travel adventure if I do say so myself...

I cannot decide if O'Hare is the Malört or Tequila of airports. And yes, I've been here for hours.

Surely someone is writing about and studying airport bookstores, right? I'm just not aware of it? Because I want that.

Thinking Through Printing friends, I think I need to come with a warning label today that says I've been up since 4:30am, forgive me for that. But I'm here!!!

Life changing #booksky

Another year, another faculty retreat that I feel the urge to live post but have literally no reason to do so.

Email is bad, actually

It's okay to enjoy things Important to, even

My employer loves me, or at least wants me to eat free food.

If you want to attend a sporting event to watch the game, there's nothing like basketball but if you want to attend a sporting event and not watch the game, baseball is basically the GOAT sport

Hanging out at the Midwest Archives Conference and trying to figure out how to navigate a 300 person conference after years of either 15, 100, or 600+ person conferences.

Come hang out with me from afar in July! It'll be a blast.

It’s that time of year when all my friends are hanging out at the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair without me

I'm probably gonna have to start a bookstore/dispensary called Leaves of Grass

This follows a retirement. #lisjobs 📜https://phxc3c.rfer.us/UIOWA7gaVOl

#DisabilityStudies friends: I'm looking for sources that discuss disability and independence. Most of what I'm finding is specifically within the context of aging, but I'm looking for sources that discuss independence more generally for any disability context.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Serious query: Did anyone out there subscribe to Neopets The Official Magazine and keep their issues?

Each and every person on my RBMS task force is a gem and I'm so lucky to be able to work with them.

Grief is weird but I've been thinking about my mom a lot lately so of course I'm bringing deviled eggs to a work potluck this week. God I miss being able to tell her this kind of stuff on the phone on my walk in. #CookingWithColleen

I like printed books

Do I know any archivists who are interested in becoming journal editors? (It is ok to DM if yes)

When taking in the full scope of the history of humanity, it's a genuine miracle that we exist in the same moment in time as Cinnamon Toast Crunch
