@LinJSol Happy Happy Birthday!

I feel sad today...it's my birthday & .....no one & nothing...78 I also feel embarrassed to be writing this...I'm sorry...😢

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you do not need a graduate degree to be considered an archivist. Because what do you think people were doing stateside prior to 1981 and in Europe before 1821? Archives existed long before credentialing did. Don’t gatekeep. Xoxo

Life is good indeed.

I’m always gonna find time for some artsy shit or some hippie shit…

The lights are still on here.

@Rxted__R @SaintSmith_ This the one!!!!

Halfcrazy by Musiq is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life

NO and that's the problem

Traveling for work.

Most people don’t actually care about archival work…or its ethics, relevance, or even how it situates, supports, and sustains their own work. It is mostly performative. They talk about the work in the imaginary. It happens everyday, b. Protect ya self from the posers. Xoxo

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” Happy International Women's Day.
