right, I never post anymore on this hell site, but if anyone still follows me- Lāhainā is ashes. Maui is on fire. People were forced into the ocean and it’s still hard to tell how many died there. Please help, please spread word. It’s fucking bad. tinyurl.com/2cm3pzn6

“It’s just one of those weeks” I tell myself, having picked a career that does not seem to have the other type of week.

been feeling a lot lately like every time i try to do a small task in the archives it's like kicking over a log in the woods and seeing all the uncomfortable, half-finished, messed-up things which had been hiding there hidden suddenly wriggling about in collective horror

Lindsey Graham must resign. It has now been corroborated that he urged the Secretary of State in Georgia to find a way to throw out legally cast ballots. There must be accountability and justice for this dangerous attack on our democracy.

name me a single time that returning a citation record, rather than the item record itself, as a result in a library database search, is 1) useful, 2) could not be better served by any of the dozens of apps designed for finding how often something has been cited somewhere

Ahhh! A paper I co-authored was accepted today by The Journal of Transgender Health! It's the first peer reviewed paper to assess the health disparities of or even recognize the existence of those lying at intersections 2 marginalized communities: the Deaf & trans community.

Please don’t ever allow the white establishment to talk about “patriotism” anymore. It’s a complete farce. It shouldn’t even be entertained. They were more outraged about Kaepernick kneeling than bounties being placed on US soldiers. They believe in racism. Period. Thassit.

This view should leave no doubt--not that you ought to have had any--about this unnecessary assault on protestors by the NYPD.
