Family, friends, art, books, food, and pro wrestling bring me joy. Academic library administrator by day, weirdo nerd the rest of the time.

This just stinks. I'm so sorry this happened, Violet. If there's some way we can support you please let us know.

I use Storygraph to track my reading, but just found Bookshelf which is super easy to use to scan barcodes and organize titles on virtual shelves.

I'm proud to share this new drawing, titled "Insect Gate," which is inspired by the iridescent shells of beetles that I studied as a child. 12x18 inches, ink on paper.

ALA response to White House assault on IMLS
To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.β€―
As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Here's a little bit of a feed cleanser for y'all. My partner painted this today and it's these moments of joy that help me remember to breathe when things are overwhelming.

My partner just finished this lovely, meditative drawing. We talk about "slow [cooking, reading, librarianship, etc.] all the time, but in this age of scrolling, there is much to be said for slow looking. It's even more amazing in person. You can DM him if you're interested in buying it.

Sheepishly admitting I have never read the trilogy πŸ˜… Might be time to do so!

And in case anyone is curious, I started reading The Eyes Are The Best Part by Monika Kim.

I love the title "A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking!" I might have to look that one up!

I just picked up Playground a couple of weeks ago. I loved The Overstory by him.

I feel like mental escapism in appropriate doses is really healthy right now, because truly "the world is too much with us."

Since I'm going to cut down on media consumption to preserve my mental health, I plan to really dig into my TBR pile. What are you all reading right now?

Welp. Thought I would come back after failing miserably at using this a year ago. But need to find a healthier place to be in a community.

Trying this out. Failed miserably at Mastodon (although I love the band!). Hoping to replicate the best parts of that single letter app. Looking for a wonderfully weird blend in my feed of pro-wrestling and academic libraries. Let's go!
