@PicturesFoIder Help couples who need a good laugh!!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy But we LOVE clicking those lil buttons. They are just so cute!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy No Matty, No!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy Go Matty, Go!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy I think I’ll invent a portable one that fits in a backpack—so, anywhere I go I will have proper lighting.

@medwynsofangles @miriamkp Leek spinning was the best meme!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy Me too: rykä. The umlaut makes all the difference.

@miriamkp I am freaking out—grandkids in middle&high-school! I bought them each a copy of “what color is your parachute (for teens)” and a really silly pencil case.

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@miriamkp Yes to in-class drafting!! have been thinking of ways to downsize syllabi—and wonder if giving students a selected bibliography might help. Reduce the time they spend researching and perhaps get them to the writing stage sooner?

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy We are watching Omnivore—it is great while I work on metadata.

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@paulitically @ZoeAliceMpls Maybe we could post those pictures in bathrooms?

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@miriamkp Nobody cares. But I DO think libraries should exert pressure on database vendors towards open-source (Zotero) citation interoperability. Still hoping Readex/Newsbank will communicate with Zotero! Somehow the dynamic is: Zotero needs to update their translator!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy Yes! This is a time-suck but I have reframed it as an inspiration to check out new books in my library.

@miriamkp @UlyssesPascal I still get hits on a database query on NASDAQ that was constructed at an early stage of this research! Thrilled to hear this announcement. Congratulations!!

@xoxoMattyBoy Everything tastes better on a porch! Do you think Drizly would deliver NC bbq? They already delivered my summer beverage.

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@miriamkp Oh, that’s a great use of this insurance! I keep wondering “why am I paying for this” but now I have a good reason!

[Zoe Borovsky @zoepster]

@xoxoMattyBoy I do think you would enjoy Chicago—especially lower Wacker drive! (My boys called it “green city” and it was their favorite route.)And there’s excellent public transportation. Lots of tunnels.
