I keep remembering how the first thing an abuser does is cut you off from friends and family. This feels like the global political version of that on an unimaginable scale.

Since I don't work as a cataloger anymore, I didn't think I'd ever need to consult the Homosaurus controlled vocabulary list -- but it's coming in really handy for creating appropriate new entries for the Mythlore Index Plus for the papers from the "Something Mighty Queer" seminar.

Flowchart of human history: 1. Suffer incredible hardship. 2. Amazing science and hard work fixes hardship. 3. Everything is much better for about 50 years. 4. Nobody remembers hardship anymore. 5. Solution to hardship now considered unnecessary. 6. GOTO 1.

I haven't been very active here on Bluesky -- I was never very active on the former place either. But one thing I DID do there was post when I put something new up on Academia. This was my talk to to the OK ACRL librarians a few days after the election: www.academia.edu/125387596/Im...

So in my dream last night, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com touched my phone and cured the chirping caused by the most recent Facebook software update. Thanks, Neil! Alas, he couldn’t do anything about the AI-designed architecture in the background.
