Ross Barkan is writing about writing/editorial/media jobs, but he could just as easily be describing similar patterns in libraries and archives that result from too many candidates chasing too few jobs: rosselliotbarkan.com/p/the-matter...

Everyone on social media loves to hate Matt Yglesias, but if you actually read him it turns out he does, in fact, have fairly persuasive reasons for supporting heterodoxy among Democrats that aren’t just trolling progressives.

I will never, ever forgive Biden for his role in the mess our country is now in, and I think people who make excuses for him are deluding themselves.

I happen to be in one of those female-dominated professions (librarianship) where gay men outnumber straight ones. I’ve always half-joked that it’s like being a hairstylist with a master’s degree

I love these pie charts @jvl.bsky.social created to depict the effect of the Internet on the information ecoystem. (As Last notes, these are made up numbers, but they're consistent with my personal experience.)

#1 is because we had it performed at our wedding. It was my comfort listen. Apple was my song of the summer; Taste is my song of the year.

My Spotify 2024 top 5. 1 and 3 are there every year, sometimes alternating spots. I think #4 is from a single day when I was doing data cleaning or something for work. Everyone should give #5 a try, I think PG takes the cake for most underrated artist of 2024.

My jaw dropped when I saw this. It is the year 2024 and University of Pennsylvania Library is offering an experienced systematic review librarians a starting salary of $43k?!? How do these people manage to hire anyone?

Andy Hickner @andyhickner.bsky.social · 20/10/2023

Average starting salaries for the new librarians are HALF what their classmates working outside libraries are earning! And the overall average is $18k more than i am earning 13 years post-degree. Can i go back and redo school? 2)

The prompt text that pops up when you start a tweet does a great job of capturing how we've all felt about Twitter for the past year.
