academic librarian daydreaming about being a duck in a pond (she/her)🖖🏻
omg!! this sticker is the sole reason I’m holding on to my horribly dented and half broken water bottle! (sorry nc live)

i think i’m motivated to check out a fancy camera from work again and spend winter break lurking in the wetland 👀

in the ED with my mom who’s dying way too young

unfortunately I may not be able to celebrate #amoktimeday in the traditional manner but I am teaching a #zine workshop tonight so that kinda counts!! ✂️📝

p.s. the black rolly cart is literally full of rubber stamps I’ve thrifted over the years 🤩

been busy running around doing zine stuff for work, zine stuff for fun, lifting weights, and preparing to bring my mom home after she’s been hospitalized for almost 4 months!!!

but naturally I had time to make this furtive #spirk addition to a display at work 📚

hey #nc #zine folks! I have been much remiss in promoting the upcoming 2025 GREENSBORO ZINE FEST!!!

two days of zinemakers and artists tabling Saturday and Sunday July 26 & 27!!

(including me and my mostly-star-trek-related wares) 📚

an undergrad did a double take while I was staffing the ref desk and complimented me on how “beautiful and healthy” my hair looked!

naturally I had to document this moment with a bathroom selfie

I can’t stop rewatching this video my husband took of our cat Basil today 😭

we adopted him 2 years ago as a scratchy, bitey 6 month old that had been returned to the foster org for being “too playful”!! it took him a while but he’s become soo sweet 💕

(also shhh i know we need to paint the ceiling)

look at this big ole turtle I saw in the woods yesterday! I think it’s a yellow-bellied slider but I’m not sure

Let me know if you want a physical copy of my #spirk fanfic in zine form! (18+ only lol)

I’m happy to mail them for free… the only cost is sharing your mailing address with a random lady online. send me a message! 📚

I keep thinking about the daffodils I saw this morning. (last two pics were taken with the soft.camera app)

my ref desk shift was brightened IMMENSELY when I saw Survival is a Promise by @alexispauline.bsky.social on our new books display!!

Prof Lex taught my WGS 350 class back in 2009(?) and, no exaggeration, it was the most fundamental class of my college experience. I’m beyond grateful for her!

I can never resist a picrew!! through this I realized I’d 100% be in command gold because there’s no other skill I’d rather utilize in an utopian future than yapping.

This image was created with Picrew’s “スタートレック Star Trek アバター作成“!! picrew.me/share?cd=I1v... #Picrew #スタートレック_Star_Trek_アバター作成

See a duck, post a duck. (or a few??)

Last year I got to watch these babies grow up 🥹

being able to walk upstairs and grab this from the stacks of the small religious college where I work is ultimately why I became a reference librarian #spirk
January 15, 2025 at 1:20 PM
it’s the first day of classes and I can’t focus because I spent all weekend watching TOS 🥲
January 6, 2025 at 4:19 PM
