every iota of order that librarians wring out of the chaos that is the bibliographic universe is the product of work not talent

I have a hypothesis which is that because librarianship is coded as a female profession, whether it is or not, when SWM try at and fail or even just don't succeed spectacularly, they become particularly bitter and conspiratorial about it

Writing helps you organize and clarify your own thoughts.

When others read, it helps them do the same, whether they agree with you or not.

Both of us probably need the reminder a year from now.

This is why it’s valuable to write, even if your ideas aren’t unique.
