  1. Critically under-appreciated tweet.

    I make a Walter Benjamin joke with “The Angel of History” pasted into a meme.
  2. Odgovor korisniku/ci
    Klee’s Angelus Novus pasted into the Distracted Boyfriend meme.
  3. Eager to talk w/’s faculty senate on Thursday about big & developments like this—& how the + steadfast partners across Virginia are gearing up to renegotiate commercial vendor contracts we find unsustainable & exploitative. Elsevier first.

    Except from the APS apology letter, available at the link in Peter Suber’s tweet, appended.
  4. Saucy Special Collections Instagram is my favorite Instagram.

    Western pulp fiction romance magazines with the caption “Save a Horse; Ride a Cowboy.”
  5. This could so easily become a gratitude account. (I have the most wonderful library & ed tech faculty & staff on the planet. After a semester of listening to everybody & settling in, I'm asking them to dig deep & take on some hard stuff—and they never disappoint.)

  7. What can I say about a year like this—on a day when friends light candles & half the earth slides back toward the sun? I’m grateful for the things I’ve found. (Goodbye from here for a couple of weeks.)

    Red holly berries with a house obscured in the background.
    A red leaf in a the palm of my hand. Christmas tree and blue-tiled atrium in the background.
    Foraged hickory nuts in the palm of my hand.

  10. Good morning from my back yard. Plans for this weeklong holiday include practicing gratitude, reading about trees, & avoiding Twitter.

    Sunrise through the trees.

  11. Delighted to see this report out, on 3 years of good work by the —Preserving Electronic Government Information: —& that the “used key is always bright” metaphor I always manage to sneak in everywhere got a big feature!

    A shiny key, with a quote from Poor Richard’s Almanack: “Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, but the used key is always bright.”

  18. Just in case you, too, dragged a reluctant partner to see The , I'm pleased to announce there's a free iOS emoji pack for all your trolling needs.

    Text chat with emojis of a crazed lighthousekeeper and a can of beans. The response reads, "Oh, boy."
  19. You know when you hit one of those glorious moments when you're like, "Every single thing I've ever learned or done leads perfectly up to this?" (Yeah, it's a sun-dappled Saturday and I'm writing a grant.)

    View from the deck. Autumn leaves.
