I've been wanting to do that for years, but haven't been able to. I have gotten to the point where I will look but I won't respond until the following work day. Baby steps!

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

An extra day off (thanks UF), means a day spent reading. First this biography, later some fluff reading. A #PerfectDay.

Years ago, before a version was available in the U.S., a friend and I ordered a dozen Kinder Eggs (the authentic iteration - hollow egg made with super thin chocolate) from Canada. So I totally get this request.

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.

WTH? This is on par as people yelling because Kamala Harris is not doing anything to stop the current administration. What is your malfunction?

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!

According to The New York Times, “it’s unclear what criteria [were] used to pick the countries [for the travel ban].” Is it really unclear?
