I just had an appointment with my doctor and of course I brought along a member of the city council to advise. Thanks Dr. Oz for the suggestion!

Have you ever stared at a word and it starts to look like nonsense? You know it’s spelled correctly...but...is it? Well, there’s a name for that.

In 1922, neighbours heard screams coming from a house in the affluent LA area of Layfette Park. When the police arrived, they found Fred Oesterreich dead & his wife Dolly locked inside in a closet. They were certain Dolly had done it, but they had no idea how. Thread
A black and white photograph of Dolly around the time of the trial. She is middle aged, sat on a chair, and looks every bit your 1930s glamour puss. She is wearing a fox fur around her neck, a long dress with laced sleeve details, and a bucket hat. Her hair is curled & she has her handbag on her knees. This is not someone you'd think would have a gimp stashed in the attic.

I'm curious how others managing library operations are approaching staffing issues related to climate change?

One thing we are trying to do is build on some of the online functions established during the pandemic. That has its limits when other operations on in-person though.

One of the biggest concerns is impacts on student staff, who are the most financially vulnerable and have the least options for leave. Missing a shift can mean missing a meal or not making the rent.

I just got an Etsy order from Kharkiv. Can’t believe it.

Universities should not be striving for record enrollments while also having notable hiring and retention problems. Thinking about a speech yesterday that contained both but did not make the connection needed between the issues.

I did some Halloween shopping on Etsy a few weeks ago. After placing my orders, I saw that all of the items were coming from Ukraine, one of them from Kharkiv! I'm astonished that I've got everything or it is in transit.

I had mixed feelings about getting superfluous items from a war zone, but a letter that came with some glass spiders from Venus Glass Art in Kyiv made clear the importance of this income. So if you looking for some cool Halloween decor, maybe check it out venusglassart.com/collection…
Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

I ordered some Halloween stuff off Etsy. After placing the order I saw it was coming from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Not sure what to expect with that. Amazed they’re selling though.

Self-care routines and bear encounters both start with setting boundaries
A hiker encounters a small black bear on a trail. She straightens up, owns her truth, and decalres her needs: "I’m calmly and clearly communicating that I need you to see me as a human. I’m standing my ground to demonstrate that I am not a prey animal. Thank you for the invitation to get closer, but I need some time to myself. I am not OK with you attacking me, as that would make me uncomfortable."

The black bear enforces his own boundaries by walking away from this emotional unloading. He turns his back to the hiker and walks away, saying: "understandable have a nice day." Or at least we imagine that's what he'd say because bears don't talk. Yet.

At a bar where they are playing Hanson’s “Mmmbop” and I have rediscovered a special distain I thought was firmly buried in the detritus of the 90s. Ugh
