Right?

@tmaes.bsky.social Got you one, hurry it's getting cold.

Nope. Just me.

I'm awright, you awright?

When you get gauge (7.5 x 10) on the first try...!

Stuff is happening in the world. But also, I made a duck.

Post a pic of you that’s not actually you.

It is their *service* mission to help scholars.

It is their *research* mission to help Congress.

It's an important distinction. When I was a librarian doing research, I didn't help a single patron.

Yup, and its "research mission" (the research LoC librarians and research fellows *do*) is in support of Congress. Doesn't mean they don't help other researchers doing other research of their own, but that's not its research mission. Librarians *do* research in the area of their research mission.

The library is *supposed* to be a circus. Librarians aren’t gatekeepers of knowledge, they’re compelled to get it to EVERYONE who wants it. LOC’s research mission is limited to Congress, by design. Dr. Hayden is a national treasure.

Then they came for the librarians.

Have more children! But we don't care if they're safe or healthy.

Oh yeah, they cancelled universal newborn hearing screening, too. www.audiology.org/ehdi-program...

Is there a gift link? I don't pay for that one anymore.

If we strip people of their dignity, they're more likely to begin acting in a way that is considered "undignified". Happy April 5th.

We're gonna suffer. But we're not gonna stop. ❤️

At least you're doing everything.

I mean, ok, we can wish *him* a happy International Women's Day, too...?

I’m gonna need a bigger tote bag than the one I made in 2017.

Seen www.costplusdrugs.com? Their cost without insurance was less than copays in my case. Not for one-off prescriptions, probably still need local for that, but it’s made me think.

Yup, changing day by day -- as of the latest poll I saw CONs were one seat short of being able to form a full government alone. Maybe the tariffs will take that farther out of reach. Maybe not. I am no longer willing to predict anything about anything.

How long will this last? They're on the cusp of electing their version of our current US president. Sigh.

I'm sure our Deaf friends who use ASL will be thrilled.

The best there is. 🧡

Dunno what you like -- I've recently liked everything by S.A. Cosby, the Silo series (starting with Wool) by Hugh Howey, and really anything by Ruth Ware is fun. Well, as fun as murder mysteries can be.

"Tallow arteries" are a hell of a thing. Maybe *all* shitty fast food should be better regulated.

Fair, and as a former journalist, I feel for the rank and file in the newsroom. I won't be expecting WaPo editors to push through any such pieces, so thanks for taking one for the team in case something sneaks through.
