Could you use help explaining the value of #cataloging & good metadata to your admin, coworkers, #MLIS students, etc.? Happy to share this set of resources put together by an ALA working group chaired by @magsjoy.bsky.social. All of these & more are available at hdl.handle.net/11213/22872. 📚

I’ve been looking longingly at the dress I’d rather be sewing this morning… but I must get ready for work. 😩 #sewsky

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

This Day in Labor History: March 25, 1911. 146 workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City died when the building in which they worked caught on fire. Let's talk about the horrors of the Triangle Fire, what changed, and what remains the same 114 years later (mostly it's all the same)

Building inspectors fined them for lining up the sewing machines so close that “the girls when seated would have no space to move about or leave their places without all getting up together.”

I finished my Liza top from @taukomagazine.bsky.social Issue no. 2. Not bad for my first top! Sometimes I regret not sewing clothes sooner, but I remind myself I learned to sew as a teen and back then I NEVER would’ve had the patience to make stuff like this. Better late than never!

Here is one of my makes from a few months back — a sage green gingham tote bag ft. @jackalopejane.bsky.social ‘s “Trans Rights” patch (I made it into a pocket!). Check out their patches!
