My wise mother reminded me people have survived political & economic upheaval before. "Back when I was a newlywed, the interest rates for a mortgage or car loan was 17%." I rescued my husband from the middle of nowhere VT & married him in 2017. Look for the good. Be the good.
Howdy y'all. Based on some Chrome extension that found 500+ ExTweeter people over there, this is apparently the ExTweeter place: bsky.app/profile/becker…. I haven't been social media-ing it up lately but I'm also at other social media sites too: linktr.ee/beckercheez
When I find out that my chronic idiopathic urticaria is a symptom of at least 3 autoimmune diseases that I have family history for getting, and have outlined w/ doctors for years: *handraised monkey meme*
Well, looks like on Halloween I’m hunkering down with a giant bag of fun size candy, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and The Sims 4: Life and Death. Interesting release date, EA.
I'm doing OK! There is a reason why I have a small collection of This is Fine memorabilia including a small Question Dog in my office. The meme represents, uh, a lot. 😅 #thisisfine#thatarchivistlife#archivistproblems
Why is it important to preserve 78rpm recordings?
As audio preservation expert George Blood explains, "78rpm discs were the way we learned about each other and entertained the world." blog.archive.org/2024/08/26/van…#VanishingCulture
Ooh lordy this aged quickly. Now I'm in a newly merged department & no longer the head of a tiny department of two employees (including myself). But I'm also an interim head overseeing 3 FT employees. There's still room to move up the career ladder if I wanted (not right now tho)
@Jsmeth_ I’ll be happy still being in my role at the same institution in 10 years 😄 any upward movement means becoming an assist. or assoc. dean, as I’m a department head at this point. And any upward movement in my profession + higher ed may mean moving to a new place again. Sigh. Nope.
First day of fall semester classes as interim head of the special collections department at my work, without training wheels (i.e., without my coworker who had the job previously 😢). Wish me luck! 🍀
My hubs & I watched Deadpool & Wolverine this past weekend. And yes I did silently sing along to the songs I knew, thanks to Rock Band and being a 2000s kid once. 🎵🎶
Its summer. If you played in a collegiate tournament this year, and that tournament used a website to organize the results and details.

Me: Hey honey look how cute this Lego Adventure Banana Guy looks in Lego Fortnite!
Also me, 10 days later: If this Lego truck flips over on me in the Frostlands, so help me…
Oh yeah, my departments finished moving all their boxes out of our storage space as of a week ago. It's just been Murphy's Law regarding everything else but that lately. #thatarchiveslife
I think WHY I got in trouble was that other students saw what I was doing & started doodling too. Then some students saw what everyone else was doing & got upset. I don't know why a 1st grade teacher thought an activity w/ photocopied portraits was a good idea.
I was anxiety ridden & only had 2 "yellow lights" in 1st grade. One of them makes me realize I had ADHD back then: Photocopied portraits of our classmates. So bored I doodled cat ears & whiskers on one of the portraits. Would have doodled on all of them had teacher not noticed.
