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!
Our very best wishes to City Archivist John McColgan, our fearless leader for the past 28 years! bostonglobe.com/2023/04/04/m…

Some people are concerned about their legacies. I sleep peacefully knowing mine is secure.

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.

I am professionally obligated to retweet this article.
A specter is haunting rare book libraries - WHITE GLOVES I wrote about the myth that refuses to die, & why it drives so many librarians & bookfolk crazy (Hate to say it, this is my best shot at a Pulitzer for public service) nytimes.com/2023/03/09/arts/…

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.

Only 256 pages? Pretty sure there were paragraphs that long in Gnomon.

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.

Number 439 was brutally thrown off his gait by 440. Ridiculous! Should have been DQed. I throw my fedora down in disgust.
