Christy, metadata janktress

Smarmy emcee: "A bachelorette!...do you have a job, love?" Me: "Yes! I'm an archivist!" Emcee: "And what do you archive?" Me: "Holocaust testimonies!" And that, my friends, is how I made a burlesque show interlude awkward.

@plaguelibrarian Hi Evelyn!

Hello internet friends! I have been going through some changes recently and thought my friends here would like to know. I am a trans woman, and my name is Evelyn! I hope that we can enjoy getting to know each other again! I love you all!

@ablwr Great, now I need to populate it!

I need to make a Github repo titled "Janky Jank" for the stuff I make for absolutely, stupidly bonkers workarounds.

@librarian_elle @pobocks I AM WARNING YOU JAVERT, I'M A STRONGER MAN BY FAR! THERE IS POWER IN ME YET, MY RACE IS NOT YET RUN!

I should not put songs from musicals on my playlists because it's taking every bit of self-control to not dramatically sing along while students are in the office.

@waitmanb That sounds amazing and I dearly wish I that I didn't have a late-onset hazelnut allergy. Side note: if you want to be really weird, chai tea with milk and vodka is surprisingly great as well.

You might think that Polish hazelnut vodka and milk would make for a terrible shot. But you would be wrong. So...so...so...terribly wrong. This drink has made me question everything I thought I knew and the band is playing "World Turned Upside Down."

*cries in freemium*

@waitmanb Sorry, I know this isn't remotely the point, but I cracked the hell up at "Wehraboos."

It's raining Wehraboos! Hallelujah.

Behold. My amazing new Weird Al shirt.

Hello 35, how are you.

@pullmygoalies It means doing something in a barely correct, not exactly stable way. Think of using duct tape to do repairs. I use it in my display name because my ways of handling metadata for work can be inefficient or unorthodox, but it gets done.

@meau_takes Congratulations!

I have a new baby and he is perfect!!! I spent a lot of last night thanking God for medicine —and medical professionals — who were able to find a safe way to bring him into the world. He wasn’t going to come on his own at 41 weeks but he’s here now and I’m over the moon in love.

I had this weird thing growing up where the things I could watch were heavily policed, but I could pretty much read whatever I wanted. My parents were very contradictory in general.

@thatliBEARian I jokingly refer to my aesthetic as "haunted clergy." So: plain tees, tunics, or button downs; neat jeans, dress pants, or long skirt; combat boots/Docs; sweater, duster cardigan, or blazer; a (made by me) shawl; weird earrings and necklace. I'm an academic librarian/archivist.

Hey #librarytwitter what do you wear to work and what kind of library do you work in?

My soul joyously becomes one with the universe when "Temple of Love" by the Sisters of Mercy comes on at the goth night and I can let loose. Apparently the 7 drunk preppy dudes who wandered in from the downstairs bar and jumped in a circle while chanting feel the same way.

Tonight involves dancing along to "The Witch" by Rosetta Stone while cooking dinner.

Good morning from a meme I made in 2020 when we started the podcast

For the record, they have said very nice things and I was not expecting anything bad. But man, do I hate reading about myself.

Things that take forever at work: * Downloading mezzanine quality video files * Converting hundreds of video files to another format * Me reading through what a supervisor wrote about me in an evaluation statement, complimentary or not, because DEAR GOD NO.
