Anni to some. Academic library stuff (mostly when I'm at conferences), board games occasionally. Expect lurking. She/her.

@leilathebrave I’ve mostly been off Twitter since, y’know, the thing, but wow that is NOT GREAT.

@OpOnions That’s him! He ends up getting defined by, um, not his greatest moment.
But one of Aragorn’s nicknames is “Isildur’s heir.”

[Nancy Foasberg @nfoasberg]

I mean, we really don’t.

[Nancy Foasberg @nfoasberg]

@mauraweb Awesome! I got mine on Saturday :)

Well, I guess I’m screwed; there are more and more people on transit and now none of them are going to be wearing masks. But I still gotta get to work.
Maybe I should start taking the pre-6AM train.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Starting today, masks will be optional in some places where they had previously been required, including on mass transit.

[Nancy Foasberg @nfoasberg]

@leilathebrave On the other hand, I’m 100% in favor of hiring on as many lines as we can get whenever we can get them.

[Nancy Foasberg @nfoasberg]

@leilathebrave So basically, we had a lot of retirements at once, and we might be setting that up to happen again

1/ This is big. @WHOSTP is calling on all federal research funding agencies to adopt #openaccess policies. If they already have OA policies, they must strengthen them to meet the new guidelines. I'll add some summary points in a thread below.

@OpOnions She was in Arcane as a voice actor and *excellent *

Hey, public libraries? Your computers are going to be hella safer than people’s phones for them to search for abortion access information. If you must have filters, do they block those sites? Will they tomorrow? And do you discard any computer signup records regularly?
