I really need to plan my social media mental health breaks better because now I’m going to be stuck catching up for the next month

Sometimes, yielding to the universe is required. An unexpected mental health day is easier than fighting Murphy’s Law sometimes 😂

God I love Missouri. We vote for progressive things that will actually help so many people and then vote back in the same people who have consistently, sued, blocked, and repealed said progressive things. Folks, you’re gonna hafta suck it up and vote for someone else if you want shit to stick.

Digging up my grandmas peonies that came from my great grandmothers peonies and moving them to every house I’ve lived in is without a doubt one of the best things I’ve done. Happy Mother’s Day, folks!

Today I got the joy of watching the first class of students I ever taught graduate as doctors of osteopathic medicine. 7 of them were the first students I ever hired to work in my library. They’re all great, but the first ones are just special.

Pittsburgh, you were a blast! What a great #MLA25! Made new friends, caught up with others, and had a great time watching my coworker give her 1st presentation. #MedLibs

Needed a bell pepper for red beans and rice and figured why not so I plopped some seeds in a cardboard egg carton and anyway, currently at 5 sprouts from a bell pepper I needed anyway. Also found a sprouted peanut in a planter so guess I’m growing those too.

Weekly phone call with my R voting father. Yet again another episode of us agreeing on most things, but me pointing out that I actually voted that way and all these things he’s bitching about are the result of his guy’s EOs. And then he ends the call. Rinse and repeat for next week.

It’s not ominous that the US Gov is requesting lists of databases and journals that military medical students have access to, right? I need a drink now.

I have been hiring students to work in the library for 4 years now. 2-3 per year say they just want some extra money while in med school. This year, over half gave feeling anxious about money as their reason for applying. Not spending money, they just want to afford food.

Taking a week off makes the Sunday before going back to work the worst Sunday ever.

My dad just told me “We won’t need doctors in 10 years because of AI” Meanwhile, I’m drafting a statement to send to my medical students bc they keep using ChatGPT and sending my library staff AI hallucination citations. Sure dude.

What are the odds that I get accepted for my EdD and my research statement is about info lit skills lacking prior to professional schools and then getting invited to teach info lit to non-professional students 2 days later? 100% was not my guess but here we are. At least I don’t have to beg now 😂

I’m a medical librarian and I teach med students. However… I was also raised redneck and am proudly redneck to this day. Which means, I know I have a pretty gnarly burn on my leg but I also know I have crap at home to deal with it myself. And now have a Walmart bag on my leg. Goodnight.

$20 they didn’t sign their own kids up for library cards and have no idea how many places you have sign and how many boxes you have to check to allow a minor child to have full access to everything in a library.

I get the whole “just talk to them” thing w/Trumpers but I literally just had a screaming match over the phone with my dad while trying to explain that all the shit he’s complaining about is entirely a product of his vote. And he doesn’t believe it. 10yrs in. They just don’t believe it.

#medlibs am I going crazy on this? I’ve gotten 2 emails in a week stating they want to do a narrative systematic review and my brain doesn’t compute that. Who is creating these terms???

My lovely congressman has a cute little survey on thoughts about DOGE and asks for other areas they should cut spending. And bonus, you can submit as many times as you want. iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/E...

Friendly reminder that the most common place you’ll find any reference to DEI that an institution or company is trying to remove is from their own EXTERNAL publications. Because it was always surface level. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t be removing it.

I was just asked to find all instances of diversity, equity, and inclusion on our library website. I’m getting very tired of being told I’m being dramatic and this isn’t a big deal.

I love Waffle House more than I can express. But the last thing I expected was to be asked if I had a reservation and seated at a fully decorated table with fresh flowers. Kudos, WH. That was amazing.

We need to talk about this virtual school crap, alright. I get the point, I really do. But at a certain point we need to just call it and say we gave it a try and stop making me help with 4th grade math once a week because I have a permanent eyelid twitch and it’s just Feb. I’m so sorry teachers 😭

I can’t express this enough but: the last thing I want to do while working from home is do anything that involves leaving my house.
