Librarian on hiatus, knitter and general geek.

Nope, 1 more. I've been working on accepting that I likely won't be going back to academia. Leaving these tweets public probably seals that bc ~~don't say ~bad things~ about former employers~~. So. Be good to each other, care for yourselves & your students as best you can.❤️3/end

Life as we know (knew) it is ALREADY over. Abuse of retail employees' precarious circumstances doesn't justify abuse of anyone else. Teachers aren't "nervous". They are justifiably terrified. Just like grocery workers.

colleagues' right to basic health and safety up until I was shown the door. With lots of fear, tears, sleepless nights along the way. Getting away with putting people in danger doesn't mean it's OK or that it should be SOP. 2/2

@griffey Excitement level: suddenly glad to be in a different industry for a bit.

Are you a highly-motivated student at an ACA school? Tired of doing volunteer research for a professor's project outside of your scope of interest? (We know you can only study certain aspects of fruit flies for so long...) Want to get paid $10/hour for research?! This is for you!

@MadLibrarySci Have you also tried counting "just"s? We just come to you Father God and just ask you Lord to just bless our sister MadLib Lord and just be with her Father God as she documents this prayer Lord and just give her the strength and the wisdom for this task Lord...

@jessamyn Last of the Mohicans. 😴 The film salvaged it by basically changing everything. That and one other book (review copy that did not get reviewed) are the only DNF on my Goodreads.

@wawoodworth My library is a little rusty so I look forward to getting back up to speed on that. (Hmm, arguably correct.)

Reading anything Jonathan Franzen says is like being put through an excruciatingly long and not funny version of Stuff White People Like.

Looking for stories for @ThisAmerLife about libraries.

Help! DM me with your story about a library, that took place in a library, etc. <3

Tho I knew some of my kids needed to talk about Thousand Oaks, I didn’t want to scare anyone. Instead I asked them to write a line in response to this sentence: “Last night, twelve libraries burned down.” The result is this uncanny poem. The oldest student is 14.

Thrilled today to announce the launch of https://t.co/Rj0dHuvUbG, a free public access point for 6.4M+ state and federal court decisions spanning our nation's entire history!

Sometimes there are actual systemic issues at play when someone is experiencing longterm unemployment

and defaulting to the assumption that someone isn't actually trying their hardest to find a job is just gaslighting
