archivist on hiatus (she/her)

I'm okay but feeling adrift now that I've been out almost 2 years.

TFW you let your essay-yay membership lapse because you're too embarrassed to call and ask for the unemployed rate again.

[Plague Poems @PlaguePoems]

At the front of the reading room
the tweed-clad academic
assures the librarian
that he is willing
to wear cotton gloves
in order to protect the material
he will be handling
but his uncovered face
and repeated coughs
shows he is unwilling to do much
to protect the librarian.

@schomj I don't know the answer, but maybe you could use this statement as guidance? https://t.co/See12CeiQZ

@stephestellar I downloaded my Twitter archive at the end of October if anyone wants it. Can't believe Twitter outlasted my archives career.

Archives Queer Eye:

Tan: Spacers give your folders a nice shape
Jonathan: Literally just take off those gloves, you don't need them for paper
Karamo: How are your EAC relationships?
Antoni: Let's make a simple DIP

In case it wasn't clear from that last tweet--I'm actually doing well! I don't know what's next for my career but everything else in my life is so much better since the move.

[Rebecca @DerangeDescribe]

Hi #LISMentalHealth! My last job absolutely wrecked my mental health and I've been unemployed for a year+ after moving across the country. Still figuring out what's next for me.

I hate making phone calls but I live in #WA03 now and just made a bunch for MGP's campaign.

Can confirm Kate is worth a follow.

What if all those PhDs stop just defending and actually start attacking?!?

@janexkelly Once saw a former boss who sexually harassed me on here talking about some "male allies for feminism" nonsense

@ThatAndromeda @panoptigoth I think this is partly why I like listening to Maintenance Phase, Aubrey’s voice reminds me of Scarlet.

@herodotusjr I used to ride this route a lot, and they would do audio narration in the café car of historic points along the Erie Canal😍
