Library meta: NOW I WANT TO GO WRITE CITATIONS FOR THESE PAGES IN EVERY COPY OF THE 2004 BOOK.

Ugh, I am a librarian and do not handle other people being wrong well. It's one of our flaws, especially since "wrong" is so often just how we perceive things.

... but this time it's actually factually inaccurate & could be used to be like "librarians are awesome resisters" and :buzz: false. We are not Alice Herz level until we are.

OH DAMN (GF loved her present)

Next week, I'll be presenting on my dad's quest to digitally preserve and remaster his 1980s comic book series at Personal Digital Archiving Conference 2018.

So many opinions about this.

I still feel like I haven't gotten the hang of mastodon, even though its clearly a Twitter clone.
