Jessica & the Revenge of the Librarian

Closes tomorrow! #LISJobs #LibraryJobs #MEDLibs

A three panel black and white comic titled "9/23/25". Panel 1: A woman bends over to look at a wooly bear caterpillar crossing the road. Text reads: "All over the farm, wooly bears are crossing the road." The woman says "Where're you going, little one?" Panel 2: A drawing of a large moth on a white sheet at night. Text reads: "One night, I set up a moth light on the lawn and spot its adult form -- the Isabella tiger moth." Panel 3: two figures in silhouette talking near the moth light set up. Text reads: "and the moth listens to me & Ayda talkin' gay stuff." Mel is saying "Every time I go to a SF lesbian bar, an older dyke tells me about her illegal gold mining rig..." The moth thinks "Sigh..."

A photo of an inked drawing of a cougar with some misc botanicals. It’s lineart except for the lupine which has been painted in watercolor. My hand is holding a paint brush and is resting against a paper towel that covers the rest of the painting

*AI refusal can refer to...refusing to use AI tools entirely, refusing the use of AI as much as possible, refusing to prioritize the use of AI, refusing to accept either boosterism or doomer narratives, refusing to accept the idea that AI is inevitable, or some other refusal."

Time for the weekend meaty breakfast chorus once again.

Um, very true. I'm the goblin, wrangled by @bigfrickinswede.bsky.social

Me hovering over a shrimp cocktail, teeth big, eyes wide, very excited

A very sweet normal picture of my husband on the opposite side of the shrimp cocktail looking very normal and cute and nice

There are two types of people in every marriage:

Goblin and Goblin Wrangler

Ummmm... Off the top of my head, but there's waaay more.

Two green lineolated parakeets perched atop my monitor shade, both hunkered down very flat. Pippin has his eyes closed, but Merry is still awake

Sleepy writing companions

Nonetheless, many of our learning mgmt systems, standards, and curricular programs still operate on the presumption that anyone under 40 has some mystical, instinctual ability to navigate, communicate, discern, and advocate for themselves in virtual spaces.

Foundational skills aren't being taught.

a chibi version of Baphomet done in rainbow gradients reminiscent of a certain 90s sticker style

This same design on a ceramic mug with an aqua blue handle and interior.

Reminder that you can get stickers and mugs of the design that got me called a Satanic Cuck on the other site.

A flier with a woodcock saying "psst". The text says "Did you know that I have a store? posters, tshirts, mugs & more" and there's an image of the digital storefront on Topatoco for Bird and Moon comics, including posters and a mug and tshirt.

Did you know I have a store? topatoco.com/collections/...
I sell prints of some of my most popular comics, plus tshirts, mugs, and more.

Every orange shirt worn today commemorates not just the pretty orange shirt that Phyllis Webstad had taken from, but everything lost to the residential schools

Every child who lost their life
Every parent who lost their child
Lost language, lost culture
Lost time, lost health & spirit

At the height of the pandemic, the number of people who said fat people deserved to die astonished me.

I've also updated my post about the end of de minimis, with the Canada Post strike as well as countries that are resuming shipments to the US:

I remain incredibly uncomfortable with people showing AI uses for medical questions, both clinical and research focused.

And I'm really not clear why any of us in #medlibs land ARE comfortable with it.

We desperately need @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social and other professional organizations to spend more time on the cost of entry into librarianship.

On Owing $93,605 in Student Loans; or, A Profession Built on Debt - ACRLog I don't know the right metaphor to make you understand how this much debt physically feels. What it actually feels like is a pressure on my chest and shoulders, but maybe that's not evocative enough. ...

"LIS students who don’t come from a solidly upper- or upper-middle-class background will either need to take out expensive private loans or will just not be able to attend grad school."

Thank you for this, @violetbfox.bsky.social

My book chapter, Don't Do More With Less: Sustainable Work as a Management Value, has arrived! This chapter explores my first years as a manager and how I did my best to embrace slow librarianship, push back on overcommitment and vocational awe, and make my department and its work sustainable. 📚📜

And then, after an awful lot of hunting in vain, Missy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wondering why everyone else has had an eggy treat and she hasn't.

Anyone who's been snagged by baby fingernails disagrees. Ouch.

Raisin Bran? (I don't like it with or without COVID, but maybe it tastes the same either way?)
