Everything that one does seems, no matter how right it may be, to bring on the very thing which is most to be deplored.

Fascinating: Seeing Our Own Reflection in the Birth of the Self-Portrait via Dan Cohen I’ve been fascinated by self-portraits ever since I saw Degas’s at the Getty about 12 years ago.
I’m kind of loving my messy, curly, 38% Ashkenazi hair today. (Image heavily filtered, of course.)
I’m worried about Kimberly. Kimberly is tired & overwhelmed. Kimberly has lots of tools to help her but she’s kind of tired of people reminding her to use the tools. Kimberly just wants someone to give her permission to rest. I, Kimberly, hereby give Kimberly permission to rest.

My kid is watching @JimTheLibrarian’s Dinosaur Storytime. Kid said, “Maybe I’ll meet him sometime!” I said, “Maybe. That would be nice.” So I guess we have to go to an ALA Annual once those are a thing again. 💛

Want to read: Can’t Even by Anne Helen Petersen 📚
I ordered a used copy of a paperback that was published in 1969. It was listed as being in good condition, with no specific defects noted. It arrived with the cover missing a corner and about to fall off, which places it either in fair or binding copy territory, but not good. I think most purchasers of used books haven’t thoroughly reaearched used bookseller condition standards. But this one has. (I’m trying to return it. We’ll see what happens.)
