I think we can all use a spot of nature’s beauty these days. The amaryllis bulb (affectionately called “the Onion”) is in spectacular bloom and there’ one more bud coming. #Wow

I've contributed an essay to this DEPENDENT issue: "Archival Trajectories: Information Beyond Content" It gives an overview of my PhD research that focuses on why we find what we find, i.e., the many recordkeeping and archival dependencies that underpin what is visible and accessible today.

So pleased to have a role in this exciting project. Even happier to once more work with @nlwillson.bsky.social (sister from another mother). Our last confab, Rasanblaj Fanm, created a thriving community that remains in contact 1 year later. We have a pretty good track record!

Her Royal Feline Highness has the right idea: Retreat to the igloo because it is too darn cold (35F with windchill making it feel like it is in the 20sF). I wish I could retreat to my igloo 🥶🥶

Fall colors in Gainesville! Only a few trees actually change here, most just stay green, others only drop their leaves. The splash of color among the green and leafless is pretty 😊
