not leaving this site (don’t let the bastards win) BUT likely won’t be here much - find me at ljsmart at that butterfly sky place

Declined an offer to serve as peer reviewer on National Endowment for the Humanities grant. Boycotting USA work. Sad for lost opportunity. Glad to recommend two exceedingly well qualified US BIPOC women instead. I am boycotting the states. Canada will not be bullied

Talking about linked data with a colleague under the blue sky and preened a bit about my role in this one

@profdownie - found whilst searching for the current course description as I ponder the call for adjunct instructors (not seriously considering, just wondering what they're teaching the kids these days)

“Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight” - Bruce Cockburn. Great Canadian. Proudly eating Vachon snack cake for breakfast, feeling patriotic. Buy Canadian!

I may have my concerns about ai but damn Anaconda AI assist helped me mucho with a python script in a hot minute.

Working directly in xslt for the first time since the aughts. Thinking of you @caschwartz (and wowie I am rusty)

I am keeping the xmas tree up till Feb. It makes me happy during the dark season. I smile every morning looking at it while sipping excellent coffee. PS I miss Los Angeles weather, fires notwithstanding.

Doing service helping with user needs assessment on DAMS implementation. Review my work from 2015-16 at the UCs doing same. Holy moly I am impressed with past Laura. And I miss being resourced at that level with world leaders in IR dev.

U.S. needs to grok that Trudeau's resignation is not due to the threats from the orange menace. Poll nums dropped for last two years, backbenchers on his case to resign for months on end - prior to US election+ a few other reasons. Canadians will give no quarter. Fuck fascists.

Why does SSL certificate management each year HAVE TO BE SO EFFING DIFFICULT? (pro tip, just order it via your host's support ticket system, doing it via cPanel ALWAYS fails for me)

I wonder how many Canadians with colonialist roots have considered the irony in the face of Trump threatening invasion. Doubtful it’s many.

RT @DavidCan2002: Make no mistake, if as a Canadian you want Canada to cease to exist and be annexed to the states you’re not a patriot you…

The plan all along. Ineffective blowhard. Tell me what has she actually accomplished? She’s “just asking questions” to stir up hatred. I am dismayed she’s going for it in my riding and will fight against it.

Bluster my ass. He’s trial ballooning. Fuck that guy. Also fuck the North Dakota guy who said “if we just get compliance it’ll be fine” re trade war.

Resiliency a bit stronger today. Thought about joining our biweekly librarian research coworking session. Realized I feel better for leaving off the paper, scrapped the notion till after the break. Mental health ftw.

Yay. More shoveling. Cueing sweetie for help in 4, 3, 2, 1... (bad back, bad hips, osteoporosis = unable to care for the home I bought before I pretty much immediately lost the strength to garden and shovel. Thanks fate.) At least I have the sweetest and most devoted help.

Ready to pivot. FYI, always check the grey lit esp OCLC reports + recall the Venn between backlog, batch cataloging, and MPLP = wider lit rev. Will write yet-another-case-report adding 0 scholarship to the lit, post to the IR for the bare minimum "publishing" on my review.
