The US government is being methodically hunted, and the calls are coming from inside the house. We've been trained over generations to be passive viewers/consumers instead of active participants in our government.
So what do we DO now?

My kid's 5th grade class is reading The Westing Game, and my Gen X reader heart is singing. I loved that book. I had the cover pictured here, and it was a library binding. That means it was one of the books my aunt Betsy sent me.

The 10yo just pointed out that The Fifth Element starts in a desert, qualifying it for membership in my Shitty Sand Planet Theory of sci-fi tropes. I hereby posit two things: 1) Earth counts as a Shitty Sand Planet, and 2) I have taught my child well.

New employee is AFAB with he/they pronouns. Know whose problem it is if staff are uncomfortable with that? NOT HIS.
Just reminding myself, and anyone who needs to hear it, that our job as compassionate humans is to reduce harm to the vulnerable, not to reduce discomfort for the majority.

Few lyrics are as satisfying to sing as "Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more"
Thanks, Pearl Jam. You've been living rent free in my head since 1991.

These are huge issues that Isaac Asimov deals with in his novel THE ROBOTS OF DAWN, but of course the extraordinary author also tells a great story! 2/6

A decade after I closed them because the campus froze the vacant archivist position, we're in the baby steps phase of reopening them. First step: an intern and our mentored student research coordinator looking at the holdings to identify prime digital humanities collections.

This is a great article about the Murderbot series by @marthawells.com
If you like science fiction (and maybe even if you don’t) read these books. Probably great for nerdy young adults too.

Preservation has to make everything complicated. And that’s not a metaphor for my experience here. Okay, yes, it is a metaphor.

At 🦃, G bonded with an adult step-cousin who also plays flute. They had an impromptu flute practice session. I thanked Tessa for being so kind to G and she replied "Kind? She was kind to ME. She's cool. When you write your parenting book I'll read it." The kid baffles and delights me.

This guy is clearing the leaves from the snowblower path so we can leave and not worry about the snow blocking his shed. His progeny, to whom he gave his autistic brain tendencies, is melting the fuck down because she wanted to leave at noon. I'm quietly folding laundry. As one does.

The moment when you check the weather on the route you're taking to Thanksgiving, and discover that your own house is going to get 4" of snow and you left a whole project's worth of equipment in the back yard... so you postpone departure and stand back while the kid struggles not to explode.
