This year's @SNACcooperative Annual Meeting falls on September 19th, otherwise known as Talk Like a Pirate Day (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern…). Looking forward to discussing new frontiers in arrrrrchival description.
Shout out to the Funky Bunch. Seems like Marky Mark really used their funkiness as a springboard. I hope the Funky Bunch is okay. We honor you and whatnot, Funky Bunch.

Many years ago John gave me my first paying job in archives, cleaning Boston City Council dockets that were covered in coal soot, which was more fun than it sounds. Congrats on your retirement, John!
Rarely post, but am moved to share my love for the J Mascis project Heavy Blanket. Heavy stoner rock grooves with J absolutely shredding the bejeezus all over it. No lyrics, just unrelenting forward motion. Absolutely perfect work music for me.

Making weekend plans? Consider curling up with some tea, imagining stuffing yourself with New Haven apizza, and applying for an archivist position at @BeineckeLibrary. We're looking for 1 Archivist Supervisor (bit.ly/YaleCareers-79121BR) and 3 Archivists (bit.ly/YaleCareers-79122BR)
For reasons beyond my comprehension today I received a package from Amazon *UK* that I did not order containing a single bottle of anti fungal shoe spray. I prefer ghosts in the machine with better taste in gifts, frankly.

There are few certainties in life, but me buying a metal album by a band called Archivist with the title “Construct” that I find at @redscroll is one of them.
