Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The challenge in owning a blue heeler is that his activities are largely up to him. He knows what the ball is, he knows how to catch it, he knows how to fetch it. But he doesn’t see the point in bringing it back if you’re just going to throw it again. If you want the ball so bad, you go get it. 160
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I just tried to plug in a post-it. I’m getting myself some caffeine. 000
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’m totally okay with gender-imbalanced studies on ADHD because boys and girls manifest it in very different ways sometimes… but to present a gendered study as gender-blind should have never passed review. 110
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s an NIH study and it’s fairly recent. That’s how bad the gender blind spot is with some researchers: They don’t even see their bias. 120
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Introduction of a study on eye tracking: We studied 44 boys with ADHD… The rest of the study: We conclude that when designing materials for children with ADHD… (Eye tracking is totally different for ADHD girls, so following this study would lead to worse educational outcomes for girls.) 251
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If you are in #NewMexico please vote for the two GO Bonds! I like having library materials, and I also like it when the toilets inside the library actually flush. GO Bond literally makes these things possible. Especially the toilets. Our sewer system is so old. 042
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Verizon Visa told me that @verizonofficial.bsky.social was not a valid company, and I can’t use the Verizon Visa to pay my Verizon bill, and I should go with another phone carrier. It was a payment glitch but their customer service are the type to drive into a lake because the GPS said to do it. 000

Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I am 50 years old. I have seen towers fall and rockets explode and empires crumble. I have seen dictators die and exes buried. I cannot bear the idea of making my fridge “aesthetic.” 140
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The Fella and I were watching The Thing (1982) and we were both possessed of a deep desire to go work in Antarctica. Or just visit. Can any of you help with that? We are old but I can do data stuff if it helps I promise we are not alien shapeshifters 141

Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My horse has a raven friend, and he leaves jaspers and agates just about every day in exchange for a little grain. I have a basket in my car where I put the prettiest ones. There is a lot in the basket. But the one he left today was the most beautiful of all of them! 110
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Ever have those “everything’s coming up Milhouse!” days? First patent published! Someone gave me a Coke! A raven gave me a pretty rock!

Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This is a guess, but the first time I heard of “swarm” to describe indiscriminate code jumping beyond its assumed constraints to bring down a system was the World of Warcraft Corrupted Blood incident. Also, the “swarm” ability of some game pets was an effective counter to the outbreak. 000
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026In other news, I started HIIT today and wow, the things I do for this animal while she throws tantrums about apples 000
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026*sigh* Now I need to go back out to the barn and do my chores later, after #GarbageMare calms down from her massive temper tantrum. She is furious with me. I just wanted to see if she’d changed her mind about apples. And I guess that’s a war crime now? 130
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026OH in interviews if you’re asked about a challenge at work, this might be a good answer - maintaining fidelity to official work channels is a key audit compliance measure and a best practice! 011
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Cognitive load of tech librarianship is a part of my doctoral project. I feel like the “successful” librarians are well beyond the breaking point. People who insist on nonofficial channels for official business make the work harder, and are telling you what kind of colleague they will be. 010
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026A short list of the official apps I’m asked to check for updates daily: ALA Connect Moodle Google Chat x2 Teams Canvas x3 Gmail x4 Outlook LinkedIn Google Drive Shared Folders x15 Workday x2 And then someone asks for a different, nonofficial channel for official comms on top of that?! 110
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026👏 Oh my gosh the insistence some people have to only communicate on the nonofficial social channels they’re personally comfortable with, as though they don’t come with their own cognitive load issues and even security risks! 110
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I say go for it, especially if you doubt your brain is up for it! Best way to decrease your risk of dementia is to try new things that take a lot of sustained effort. 110

Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Thanks! If I'm successful, there should be a substantial benefit to small-budget libraries most of all - a way for vendors to understand their needs while giving these libraries ways to stretch their resources. 110

Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 12/09/2026So many menopause symptoms mimic the natural state of the doctoral student! You don't have brain fog, you're just taxing your brain very hard. You don't have hot flashes, you're stressed about your fellowship. You're not grouchy, you're *developing yourself.* Instant societal approval! 080
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Ladies and AFABs, add variety to your life: Are you tired because of menopause, or are you tired because you have to write a section about PRISMA guidelines? Trick question: It doesn't matter, you're too tired to care! 160
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 12/09/2026"Can I really do a PhD at 50?" Yes, person I made up for this post. There are some surprising benefits. If you don't get hit by a bus sometime, then you're gonna be seven years older with or without the PhD. Might as well do it. If you do get hit by a bus, you don't have to do lit review anymore. 3131
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Next email from the "fan": I think your book deserves to be seen by more people! Have you thought about hiring a marketing firm? Our packages start at $24,000/year... He was crushed. Now he doesn't believe anyone who writes him is a real fan. The people behind these schemes are cruel. 0163
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 11/09/2026An author I publish got what seemed to be a really heartfelt fan letter with a story about their grandfather enjoying his book, going deeper into the history behind it, etc. He replied and then called me talking about how appreciated he felt. How excited that he'd reached someone. 171
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It’s Better Call Saul feat. Space Jam, basically. It really did feel like a New Mexico story. 011
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I can see why people say to hold out for funding. Not having to pay for it really changes the motivation for the better. 000
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Yeah I reached a problem in my industry that requires doctoral guidance to solve. So glad I waited until I was senior career level. 000
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026One of my assignments is literally just do a print statement and a bit of math with Python. It either works or it doesn’t, it’s as understandable as Logo/Lisp. And yet I half-expect I found a new way to break it somehow. 010
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I don’t have much imposter syndrome left at this point in my career. However, I submitted my first batch of assignments for my doctoral work and I keep expecting the feedback to be “our apologies, we’ve realized you’re quite stupid.” 170
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Generations of this family have been born, met, got married, and died in front of the washi tape, this is their homeland. If I attempt to also look at the washi tape, it is a clear act of aggression. 001
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Glad the economy is healthy enough to support a small army of people to follow me around Hobby Lobby and just stand in front of whatever thing I wanted to look at, oblivious, like they’re figuring out wtf stickers are or how to spell the word “wood” 120
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Honestly I’d like resource cost to be listed on every consumer product. 010
Jennifer Goodland @libraryjenn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026All AI content should be required to list the tokens it consumed. Environmentalists would be informed. Engineers of product need this awareness. Real program creators can point to the consumption as an example of the hidden inefficiency and waste of vibe coding. Process needs more respect. 110
