Added “consulting scholar-librarian 🔍” to my bio.

Getting a lot of targeted ads for EdDs like “Heeeey noticed you just finished a doctorate, want another?”

Just deleted “expected” before “May 2021” in my CV.

📚 How do you keep track of quotes that resonate with you? I usually write them in my Bullet Journal or post them to my blog, but sometimes I snap a quick photo. This is a page from FRANKENSTEIN that resonated with me back in December, although I can’t remember exactly which part spoke to me. I remember feeling like the way Victor Frankenstein spoke about his creature was how I was feeling about my dissertation.

Finished reading: Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé 📚

📺 I’ve got 2 episodes left of SHRILL. It’s so weird being right in the middle of Annie and Gabe’s ages, too old to be an up-and-coming earnest millennial, too young to be a punk Gen Xer who had to negotiate growing up while staying cool.

Want to read: Ashkenazi Herbalism: Rediscovering the Herbal Traditions of Eastern European Jews by Deatra Cohen and Adam Siegel 📚

📺 Fran is always my favorite on SHRILL. Today it’s because she says, “I just don’t think I can work somewhere where I’m not universally admired and beloved.” 💓

Today in “But they’re worth it”: my kid showed me a tiny grape as though he had found an amazing treasure. If you like kids but don’t want your own, definitely borrow one sometime so you can have moments like this.

Yesterday I did 3 things so today my body wants me to do no things. I hope the plan I made with my Dr gets my thyroid levels back to optimal. These relapses to hypothyroidism creep up on me slowly & I don’t notice them until I feel like total garbage.
