PS: I flew home to be with elderly auntie on 15 March, before flights stopped, when UK and USA were still complacent; #FedEx already making profit from #Corvid19 #coronavirus ; I’m sorry to add them to boycott, since drivers and workers are working so hard

I reluctantly add #FedEx to list of corporations to boycott for making a profit from #coronavirus #Corvid19 : I was charged $480 to ship a 35lb box home. It cost £50 to ship it there originally. My plane ticket cost half that.

Sadly #FedEx making a profit from #Corvid19 #coronavirus “Whilst i can understand what you had to do ... the amount ... is correct. Im really sorry i can also assure you that our prices have gone up during this difficult time.” Sigh.

[reflecting on #rbms17] relieved to think we will soon see a time when feminism, diversity and social justice are "just doing my/our job"

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

.@ABAA49 booksellers ARE #rbms17 - I love the experiment when the bookfair IS the conference for 3 hours and we all listen and talk books

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

[more on names #rbms17] ..and that us old folks (pace Haven and all) don't know everyone's names anymore - and twigging this is my/our fault

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

[reflecting on #rbms17] a row of past RBMS presidents, who worry that many attendees don't know who they are, not even their names

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

[more reflections on #rbms17] more brown faces are waaay better for me, and wishing Peter Graham (who raged at RBMS Exec) was here to see it

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

[reflections #rbms17 cont.] ...and now I understand the enduring benefits - for all -of Danielle Culpepper's work raising $$$ and grants

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

[reflections on #rbms17 after driving to Ithaca] I always cry when the scholarship recipients (past present future) stand up together... 1/2

[Jennifer Schaffner @genschaffner]

[a few personal reflections on #rbms17] is it just me, or are we - as a community - mostly done wringing hands about digitalisation how-to?

@melissa_hubbard @safiyanoble "*when* you are a UL" #rbms17 (damn straight!)

@STLlibrarian A: put Kim Schwenk on a panel pronto. She's pesky and wise on description; speaks arch/DACS, bookseller cataloguing and DCRM #rbms18 #rbms17

wildly brilliant Q from Susan Pyzinski abt capturing content+context when describing born-dig collns and items #rbms17 #thinklikeanarchivist
