HAHAHA Nevermind. I'm burnt out of working on this subject. I'm wrapping it up by the end of October and taking an extended break. No clue if I'm coming back to it. I've done the work that I can and I'm moving on. Every time I try to pick it up, I feel parts of my energy dying. Nope. No more.

Doing a brave thing - acknowledging that the research project I’ve worked on casually for the past three years has been deeply unfocused, which has led to part of the burnout I’ve been experiencing this year.

My brother-in-law bought tickets for the Lucas Museum in October. And now I have tickets to see The Devils at the Vista later that evening. October if going to be an amazing month.

Macklemore has this extremely Seattle earnestness that is pure cringe to 90% of the rest of the country, but I knew it would see him through in the end. What is cringe but earnestness persevering

I am in a state of oscillation. Debating if I want to apply for the Carnegie-Whitney Grant to create a bibliography that focuses on the Fantasy of Manners genre or resting and working independently on this subject on my own time. Grant money is always good but the responsibility is something else.

Instead of lowering flags to half mast for Dolly, they should reinstate vaccine mandates. They should invest in public health. They should walk back discriminatory LGBTQ+ policies. They should stop banning books and fund libraries. That’s how you honour her legacy.

Today’s library team discussion was about those feral cultish house cat books. One colleague mentioned the MEGA FAMILY TREE on the Warriors website. There has to be someone out there who has written some sort of doctoral thesis on this series. And we won't even get into the Wings of Fire connection.

The Wise Pickle by Sarah Howden, illustrated by Sabina Hahn is a masterpiece in picture book format. I haven’t stopped laughing whenever I talk about this book. Best read in a serious, overdramatic fashion.

The more I sit with my viewing of Nolan's The Odyssey, the more I realize that this adaptation should be seen thru the lens of Bryan Doerries's The Theater of War, which focuses on how Bryan used two of Sophocles's plays as to create conversations on PTSD with Veterans. theaterofwar.com/projects

In "I'm determined to finish this art piece" news, here's where I'm at with my Bride of Frankenstein embroidery design. Tons of French knots using medium worsted yarn. Still debating if I should add a green watercolor to the face. Kinda wish I had that idea before I started.

Whenever I see posts go viral that are like “support your library! Get a library card!” I appreciate the sentiment. But if you actually want to support your library, this is the kind of stuff that actually makes a difference. Go to board meetings. Tell the trustees. Stand up for library workers.

Started my annual reread of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and was once again struck with the idea that this book isn’t about magic but how information is controlled and manipulated amongst the elite while those who wish to use that same information for good are consistently denied.

Faculty: libraries and librarians need your advocacy BEFORE our collections are shuttered and our workers are fired. Whether you think your library is in trouble, and it almost definitely is, write to your provost and tell them how essential the library and library staff are to your work. Right now.

Some of the best (I think) material in Five Came Back is there because a librarian saw what I was working on over 3 days and asked me if I'd like to take a look at a box of old George Stevens papers that had not been catalogued yet. So no, for a ton of reasons, AI cannot "do the research for you."
