Hi! Hello! Stress impairs cognition!

Michael McDonald

This week the factory down the street from my house burned down. No one was injured, thank goodness, and the environmental impact appears to be minimal. It's been stressful, but I must say, it was pretty great to see fire fighters get to use all of their equipment. Ladder trucks at full extension!

Today, I was reviewer #2. I took no joy in it, but it had to be done. Forgive me.

Today I will again plead into the void: Spell out your university's name when posting. I get that "UWR" or "UofP" might be your whole world, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Current status on campus: snowy.

It is beautiful to live in a community that is experiencing *joy*.

Report from the Philadelphia suburbs: Air heavy with that sulfur smell that comes from, really, just so many fireworks.

support archives and archivists sufficiently in times of normal operation so we can do our jobs in times of crisis. read about ongoing efforts before your library of alexandria comparisons. respect the expertise of people who have been doing the work. fund permanent archival and preservation labor.

Hope all is well with you & Gladys.

After a quiet morning, I just received ten (10) email messages in less than two minutes.

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Submitted a thing. 😎

Alright, I know you've been waiting for an update. I'm ending the day 450 words in the black. It's clunky, it's scattered, and it's very, very rough, but I have a ✨draft✨. It's got a beginning, a middle, and an end. It's got headings. It's got citations. It might even have an argument!

The chaotic ass emails we are getting at work! Universities are not okayyyyyy.

I'm to the point in this thing I'm writing that for every 100 words I add, I delete 150. I just wrote for a solid 90 minutes and it's shorter than when I started. 🙃

Hi friends! Let's vet some stuff a bit more before reposting it to the timeline, shall we? Seeing lots of unverified, uncited, unhelpful reports about recent news popping up. The verifiable stories are horrifying enough, thanks!

"Customers only care about one thing: barely functioning AI crammed into every facet of their lives. We all know this. That’s why anybody who’s anybody has slapped AI onto their product. AI phone, AI refrigerator—if it doesn’t have AI, what the fuck are we even doing?"

I'm going through the ACRL schedule. There are 3 offerings that mention "budget" in their title. There are 4 that mention "retention." There are 8 that mention "assessment." There are 2 that use the word "union." There are 2 about "slow" library work. There are 63 offerings about "AI."

*playing a California Raisins record for a friend* Pretty good right? These are raisins playing all the instruments

The TV that plays while you fuel your car showed me a video of people in a kitchen preparing "Cajun salmon dip" and now I can't stop thinking about someone making it for a dinner party and saying "It's good, right? I got the recipe from a gas pump."

I tried this with different numbers and added the unit. It still didn't work.

It snowed last night and I woke up to fox prints in my front yard and now I'm humming "Boy on the bike, what are you like?"
