MommySJ @mommysj.bsky.social · 3hI am working from home today. So far I have responded to 15 emails, gotten my kid to school, trimmed the front bushes, answered 4 reference questions, and now I'm going to work on converting files to PDF/A while I clean my home office area. This is a nice change of pace. 000

MommySJ @mommysj.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Someone asked me earlier today what I would consider a "life-changing" amount of money. My answer: $45,000 tax-free. It would pay off our 2nd mortgage, and allow us to take a much-needed family vacation without worrying about the cost of food and travel. If you're willing, what's your number? 010

Reposted by MommySJN Sims @copyrightlibn.bsky.social · 03/09/2026This is particularly relevant for the Twin Cities which has had weird weather today, but also everybody else. The reason your weather apps are getting glitchier, is bc. NOAA got eviscerated and can't sample atmospheric conditions as much. The data is worse for everybody. 28226

MommySJ @mommysj.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Dear faculty, Libraries everywhere are under-funded. Especially your institutional library. Please do not request that your library purchase an expensive resource, get confirmation that it has been purchased, and then tell them that you won't be needing or using it. We cannot get that money back. 010

Libraries are places where HUMANS with EDUCATION and EXPERTISE help you navigate information and connect you with resources. Data centers are warehouses. Libraries are not warehouses. They can be repositories, but they don't just store. They're alive. Support the fuck out of the PEOPLE. 014359
