GREAT NEWS! All those with a UNC onyen now have free access to the Washington Post! 🗞️ Just visit guides.lib.unc.edu/go.php?c=57544… to access! Thanks, @UNCLibrary! 💙

The cover reveal of @mstiefvater next book is giving me life today! But why do you have to torture us like this, @ireadya ?!

@CharissaAPowell Very glad to hear you are tumor free! But as a fellow migraine sufferer, I'm so sorry. I get a blurry aura at the onset of my headaches but have never experienced loss of vision. I hope you and your doctor are able to find something that makes it more bearable!

Prepare for the polls this November by finding the most accurate, up-to-date information about the general election candidates and how to vote in your county during AdULting 101: Keeping Up With The Candidates: heellife.unc.edu/event/6408319

Adulting 101 is going virtual! Very excited to lead this workshop tomorrow!

@dndurbin Ah! This would be perfect for adulting 101!

Been using this example in my #infolit instruction this week, when I talk about how science is (mis?)reported. "Even the study’s authors said their data had been misconstrued. 'Our intent was not to say this mask doesn’t work, or never use neck gaiters.'" nytimes.com/2020/08/17/wel…

@jkgadsby I saw that earlier and imagined they were cheering me on! It helped a little!

@elizsoergel I miss Ikea. Raleigh doesn't have one so people down here make a day trip or even weekend out of the 3 hour drive to the Ikea in Charlotte.

Deeply missing the days of having 3 (THREE!!!) good Ikeas within an hours drive now that I'm stuck with one incredibly terrible Ikea that somehow always has a 100 person deep line and none of the things you want in stock.

Ikea is making it impossible to get a new desk. No delivery for the items I want. No curbside pick up at our specific Ikea. Planned on going tonight after work, but they close early. Can't go before work because they open late. "Try to avoid peak times!" HOW THOUGH?

@ArchivingAmanda Currently having the same debate with myself...the prudent thing would be to save the money for a new bike (still riding the bike I got in middle school!)...but roller skates are definitely a more stylish and expressive form of exercise!

@RyloLH I’m at the NC coast and felt it here too!

Register now for the August 31 webinar featuring @brenda_linares COVID-19: Health Literacy and Misinformation in the LatinX Community nnlm.gov/class/covid-19…

You probably don't need any more advice. Just begin doing the thing. Once you start doing, you may pause and seek targetted resources or advice, but keep your vision in mind (and adjust as necessary). Seeking input from others is marvelous; it's also a common avoidance tactic.

Hey, if you’re currently reading A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor, let me know where you are in the book in the least spoilery way you can think of?

The year is 2055. American Girl announces their newest Historical Girl™️. Izzy Davis: The 2020 Pandemic Doll.

Wear a mask. That is, unless you want to be intubated by a gynecology intern July 1st who did her last semester of med school via Zoom.

Can't see this without making a plug for Medlineplus.gov! As someone who teaches about finding & evaluating health info, it's encouraging to see so many replies with reliable health info websites. @medlineplus

@dndurbin Haha I love it!! 😂This would definitely be a good intro to a conversation about trustworthy sources like Mayo clinic and MedlinePlus.gov!

Paging @mnfratta ...could you possibly use this tweet in your health info lit instruction? 😆

@LynneeLue Congrats Lynnee!!! 🎉

And yes, I’ve been reading way too much lately. Want to read about murder bees and magic and fast cars and psychics all set in a charming rural Virginia small town? Check out the Raven Cycle by @mstiefvater . It’s not primarily about kissing like the synopsis says, I promise!

“At more than two inches long, they're the world's largest hornets with a sting that can kill humans if bitten multiple times" ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦@mstiefvater⁩ please send a ragtag team of rural Virginian teens to stop this murder hornet madness! cnn.com/2020/05/03/us/…
