The cat has to decide where she will sit based on how long she thinks I will be reading this item. It's an interesting approach to literature.

If you're in my GP's office any time soon, prepare yourself for what many are calling the greatest mnemonic of all time. Come for E and P, but sit down and clap for I.

E extreme shivering or muscle pain
P passing no urine all day
S severe breathlessness
I ot feels like you are going to die

The Pokemon card economy is so weird. A card will sell for over $8 million dollars and it's drawn in MS Paint.

The art from the raincoat Pikachu card which is a purposefully naive drawing Pikachu in a red raincoat holding an umbrella.

One of my strengths at work is describing the real life scenarios that lead to wonky technical problems. One of my coworkers pointed out that they almost all involve a student studying abroad in Italy for some reason.

This morning, Misael Ramos, an Austin city council candidate was abducted by DPS, presumably because of his involvement in a protest for Wilber earlier this week.

I was giving the cat snugs before the gym, and when I got back, she was right where I left her.

I wrote this to try and bear witness; I hope you'll read it. If you do, I hope you'll later find some quiet to think about this man, pray for him if you'd like, and then find out what you can do to help those impacted by this violence and terror in your community.

If you're mad as hell about this and have some $ to spare, immigrant support activists on the ground here in Austin told me that the Immigrant Support Fund is the best donation destination; Wilber's family (and others) are helped via this stream: givebutter.com/ZkFxFu

Incredibly powerful technique for an office job: ask a day or two before each meeting what the agenda is and/or what you can do to prepare. So many people will cancel a meeting instead of responding to you.

Librarians! Zine-Makers! This new Temporary Services zine (made with @doormouse12.bsky.social) is for you! We interviewed 4 public librarians that maintain zine collections and the result is a beautiful 44 page booklet. See and learn how they do it! $10.00 (or $3.00 PDF) from www.halfletterpress.com

From the front and back cover of the booklet:

Public Librarians Discuss Zine Collections

We asked librarians at four public libraries to talk about their library’s zine collection. What advice can they share with zine makers that want to get their work into a public library, or librarians that want to start a collection at their library? Was it hard to convince others that zines are a resource that the library should collect? What collecting models did they follow? How did they build the collection?

Interviewees:

Tim Devin / Somerville Public Library
(Somerville, MA)
Angi Brzycki & Ziba Pérez /
Los Angeles Public Library
(Los Angeles, CA)
Alicia Tate / Multnomah County Library
(Portland, OR)
Alina Josan / The Free Library of Philadelphia (Philadelphia, PA)

Now reading. I have been on a crime fiction kick so when I saw this new detective novel set in Austin, I jumped on it. The "detective" is a detective in the way The Dude is a detective. That's perfect for Austin, but my one complaint so far is that everything is toooooo Austin.
