I'm having lots of feelings about these first day of school questions I use for my #Curiosity and critical practice course. I happened to have this pic from last spring's first day of class. I ask them to choose one question to respond to when they introduce themselves.

@ddddeanna @arbybeast I had the same first thought

@arbybeast I thought you were asking for someone hot to talk to you about the Irish center and I was like “i mean i guess information goes down easier when it comes from a hottie?” And then I was like “oh I guess I can’t read”

@cmjohnsonstvier ❤️

I've been recommended for reappointment, and boy howdy am I going to cry at all the complementary things my colleagues and the director wrote about me.

@carelynn This is too many things! Wtf upmc!

This looks incredible!

@lipatel Yes!!

Thank you so much @ALA_ACRL for offering both a quiet work space and quiet lounge. It has made all the difference. I’ve been able to re-set and rest, tending to myself and my responsibilities, which makes it easier to give presenters my full attention #ACRL2023

@cmjohnsonstvier Congrats!! 🎉

Oh hey, I got cited in the 2023 ACRL Environmental Scan. That's incredibly flattering. bit.ly/acrl23scan

@Kaetrena Genuine apologies

What is a collective/community (or even individual) support behavior that wasn't modeled for you that you eventually realized/observed was an option for you to do and/or ask for?

The largest book ban in the nation is the book restriction policies in prisons and jails across the United States. vice.com/en/article/dy7…

@Hornette @theheatherhogan Wintering is an amazing book! Also Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, and The End of Burnout by Jonathan Malesic. Both books have helped me see that burnout is not a problem with the individual.

Does anyone have any good book or podcast recommendations for combatting burnout? I feel like my little star is fizzling out up here in the giant night sky and I do not like it. I’ve never experienced anything like it, even when I was at my sickest and my most depressed.

@adam_shear @RSAorg So exciting! Congrats!

It's an honor for our project to be recognized by @RSAorg which has done so much to further early modern studies. RSA conferences have been stimulating and inspiring placed of intellectual community for me for quite a while.

If your mentor is not training and inspiring you to be more free, they are not a mentor, they are merely a trusted overseer; or compliance management at best. Run. Abscond. Get free.

@beastlibrarian Yes! Same here. We provide a lot of help to people who need info and images from books that are not digitized or ebooks!

I was contacted by two researchers over the last day who are working on books or conference papers. they both need information held in books they can't get easy access to at their institutions. print collections are important and valuable. #artlibraries

@pgh2o Just learning about this now. We did not receive a robocall. Twitter should not be your primary means for communicating safety information

We have issued a boil water advisory for portions of some eastern neighborhoods and South Oakland. Search our interactive map here: arcg.is/19bvfe0 Read the press release: bit.ly/3lzX4xm Follow updates at pgh2o.com/boilwater

and creativity is how we will survive

Love to know my #photobooks are out there living their lives and connecting with people ❤️🙏
