It was kind of bewildering at the time but I started volunteering there later that year and the rest is history! 2026 marks 15 years in academic archives for me. And I get paid now lol. Boy was that interviewer right. 3/3

The short version of mine is that I was interviewing for a university library job and in the middle of it the interviewer stopped and said "you're actually more of an archivist" and marched me down the hall to the archives reading room. 2/3

Everyone always wants to #AskAnArchivist how they became one. Which is fun because all our stories are so different! 1/3

FSU archivists are trying to nail down items to help preserve the rock ‘n’ roll hall of famer’s time in Tallahassee, including items linked to him they’ve never seen before, until now.

Weird Al and Dolly Parton are different aspects of the same ethos. Both are prolific, great, genre-defining musicians iconic for intentionally playful, exaggerated personas but universally loved for their authenticity (& kindness). All while working for decades AND maintaining a sense of privacy.

The intensity of this wildfire season is calling attention to the fact that the Trump administration closed all nine regional offices of the U.S. Forest Service, and shut down 57 of its 77 research facilities.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN
"Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!"

"I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house."

"This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed.

"I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied.

"I will arrest you!" the officer threatened.

"Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned.

"I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward."

"Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship."

"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?"

"Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.
