Mapkeeper 🗺 I like books, photography, and I have no idea what I'm doing. @UBCiSchool, @HarvardDivinity, & @FurmanU alum. Tweets my own.

I’m just a map cataloguer, standing in front of another map cataloguer, begging them to tell me where the f*ck they got that date

May the future belong to painters, potters, woodworkers, seamstresses, storytellers, bakers, gardeners, and people who still make things with their hands.

“radically pro-transgender” and it’s just me wanting my friends to not die in a country that’s obsessed with hating them for no reason

Everyone’s stopped talking about it for some reason, but the defense of Minneapolis was the most seismic victory against Trumpism. That was supposed to be the blueprint for their autocracy and it was defeated and humiliated by astounding collective action from ordinary Americans.

THEY ARE NOT "BORING ASS SUITSS." THEY REQUIRE LAYERS OF HAIRCLOTH, CANVAS, AND PADDING, WHICH ARE SHAPED THROUGH PAD STITCHING, DARTS, AND IRONWORK TO ACHIEVE A CERTAIN SILHOUETTE. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE PERSONALITY TO PULL OFF AN AVANT-GARDE OUTFIT AT THE MET GALA SO BLACK TIE I—

Personally don't think this is something to be proud of. A few years ago, I interview a Los Angeles woman who made these types of dresses. She got paid 15 cents per dress and slept in the corner of a kitchen. When you get these "deals," consider who else is paying.

i never beg except when it’s to differ

@CoraCHarrington And it’s so hard to convey to people not in cultural heritage spaces how expensive & involved all of this work is! I work w historic maps and am constantly explaining to people how expensive & labor-intensive digitization is, for instance, & it’s just one small part of the work!

The horrors persist but so do libraries, books, iced coffee, sunsets, trees, the word ‘fuck’, the moon and the sea.

[Tal✨they/them @talyaTheeEnby]

please get a library card even if you won’t use it because cities will look at library statistics and use that to decide to keep libraries open and properly funded

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

The most successful thing capitalism ever did was make labor invisible. Just consume, it doesn’t matter how it got here. It doesn’t matter who made it or the communities that are suffering from just being near the factories. You deserve a little treat!

A fascinating thing about the economy is everyone thinks other people's labor should be dirt cheap but that their own labor should be very expensive

Imagine being at a university like Harvard or Oxford and using AI to think and write. The whole world is unpaywalled to you. The world's most beautiful and well stocked libraries are open to you. What a waste.

[Laura K. (she/her) @_hex_libris_]

@CoraCHarrington I bought this one from them last year and I am SO excited to wear it when it’s finally cold enough
