@MidniteLibrary @ferrilibrarian Coffee Crisps and Crunchies are what I stock up on for friends (and for my chocolate stash) when I'm up. Sometimes there are British imports that don't make it to the States often, too, like dark choc HobNobs

On Friday, @planetmoney did an episode on libraries in ebooks.

I waited on listening, knowing I'd have to take notes and rant about it, because most news coverage is so bad on this issue.

Parts are really good. Other parts are... well...

Get your popcorn.

Today in (undoubtedly Mennonite) cataloging: entering a woman's name as "Miller, Mary M. Miller Miller" because she was born a Miller and both husbands were also Millers. It's Millers all the way down... #Genealogy #cataloging #mennonites

@SpringerMock @plainwrongpod @abbynaf Thanks!

[Matilda Yoder @matildayoder]

@ErinMilMil Well that's gross

Closing a book before it ends is closing a door. If there are people available to help craft a positive reading experience, the kind that makes you feel seen and heard, that pulls you in instead of pushes you out, why not bring them on? Sensitivity reads are tools, not weapons.

Our latest ep is available now! This week we chat about several comics and a graphic novel with Amish characters. @MidniteLibrary from @bookclub4m joined us to provide expertise on all things comics-related.

1. So today I want to write a thread I've been nervous to write.

In January and February, according to CDC data, 42% of ppl who died of Covid were vaccinated.

It's possible that in the near future, a MAJORITY of people dying of Covid may be vaccinated.

[Matilda Yoder @matildayoder]

This is it, the reckoning. Time to catch up on all the bonnet novels I've been avoiding cataloging. 😑

[Just Plain Wrong Podcast @plainwrongpod]

Today @matildayoder has been researching Amish and Mennonite themed comic books for a Season 3 ep, and let’s just say things are gonna get real weird. Here, for example, is Shark Farmer: Attack of the Amish Vampire.

I got to be a guest on an awesome podcast! Check it out:

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

One of the best things a professor ever did for me was give the class a text she KNEW we would all agree with & get excited by, a very woke feminist angry book about very real issues.

Then ask us all to evaluate its biases, methodological flaws, & rhetorical sleights of hand.

[Just Plain Wrong Podcast @plainwrongpod]

It's been a productive weekend! We've recorded 3 eps, planned out S3, have a reaaaaal basic website to reveal soon.... And! We finally have some merch!! You can find us on Tee Public: https://t.co/QVkACs1azt

@ErinMilMil At a guess, it's tar paper, which used to be used as cheap insulation and weatherproofing.

[Matilda Yoder @matildayoder]

@TheDrunkenMenno @plainwrongpod I'd guess that it's mid-growth wheat, but it could easily be a random patch of long grass the photographers found. Though it is suspiciously free of weeds.

[Matilda Yoder @matildayoder]

@plainwrongpod Why is the baby wrapped in a blanket of grass? Just... Why?

[Matilda Yoder @matildayoder]

@amyaber After piles of tracts and bonnet novels, I was pretty excited too. We find joy where we can, I suppose!
