Archivist and all around pop culture nerd. Plus I like to write about archives and archivists in pop culture! I'm a real catch! I can probably talk about other things. Maybe.

Why not just have FREE COLLEGE FOR ALL rather than to depend on the largess of billionaires? Just such a mess.

What are you doing July 20? Would you like to go to a wine tasting in Walla Walla where I'll be vending? Come raise money for planned parenthood, 100% of tasting fees are going to them Blood of Gods is a metal wine zine, think of how intensely much your metal friends like metal. Apply that to wine.

It's important to note that in France, yes, a fascist majority was prevented, but they still doubled their presence in parliament. The fascists didn't stay home. They went & voted. It's just that enough decent people showed up to beat them back to a significant degree (& make them cry). SHOW UP.

And shame on ALA for not designing a truly inclusive conference with meaningful COVID safety measures. The absence of structural care enables shitty people who don’t think about the wellbeing of others, and sends a v clear message about who does/doesn’t belong.

We've heard from many community members that COVID rapid tests are hard to find (and when they can find them at drugstores it's like $20 a test) so we're experimenting with carrying COVID tests and selling them at cost: $5 per test including tax (tho each pack has 2 tests so it's $10).

Cape Feare is my all-time favorite episode of The Simpsons because 1) written primarily by Conan O'Brien 2) anything with Sideshow Bob is pure gold One of my favorite jokes, though, is Homer's gym mispronunciation and how it resolves.

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

:dons librarian hat: Digital preservation is more expensive than preserving paper; it takes more staff, active attention, and consistent computing resources. Libraries have discussed “digital dark age” since the 1990s. Corp archives often 1st to go b/c suits haven’t figured out how to profit.

Secondary reminder that not all digital content needs to be preserved forever, and we will kill the planet if we attempt to do so.

Could the kindly people in the GLAM community lead me towards any zines created by people within the GLAM community about GLAM subjects?

I want to do a post or a few posts about professionals using specific mediums within the pop culture landscape. Links are appreciated! 📜 #GLAMS #zines
