Archives in the Movies: Silent Hill 2006 In the grand tradition of horror movies, there must be a moment of research. What happens when Sean Bean breaks into the archives in Silent Hill 2006?

POPVERSE just put together a whole list of folks who'll be doing commissions and the like at ECCC! What a great resource! I'll be doing Pay What You Want Portraits at my booth!

One of my best friends lives in Champaign...the urge to fly out, stay over, and worm my way into this course is strong!

motherf*cking archivists out here like magic

"Nobody ever suspects the butterfly. MWAHAHAHA"

One of my favorite quotes because of the randomness as well as Bart's glee.

Put them on the phone and make them wait for you under the possibility that they get to talk to you about religion.

It worked on the Mormons when I needed the yard mowed.

Some of the many reasons why Gail is amazing!

@emeraldcitycon.bsky.social is only a few weeks away! I only have a few preshow slots open. Message for details!

Also, please let me know context if we know each other! I know a LOT of you online, but may not recognize your name. It's a me thing. Thank you for understanding. :)

The sweet taste of rebellion

All the college and university "leaders" who chose to surrender in advance on this, take a bow

And then get in the fuckin sea

Batman v Superman as well but also the first James Cameron Avatar and Maleficent.

Today would've been my grandfather's 95th birthday. Grief is a weird thing as I find myself thinking about him more and more and get angrier that he's gone and people like the Orange Cheeto and his ilk are still living.

Anyway, he would've liked that his birthday was a holiday.
Miss you, Papa.

I can be the one giving the stink eye, but usually the upfront dead stare of indifference is more my speed.

Superman with a mustache and sombrero.

Weird.

Finally! A soda for me and my feminine lifestyle!

Why Are Movies About Research So Addictive? YouTube video by Patrick (H) Willems

While I enjoyed this video and agree with a lot of the "competency porn" aspects, it still sucks that the competency isn't afforded to the archivists and librarians who would've given the protagonists access to the relevant documents in the first place. 📜 #GLAMS #archives

I think I have all of Vowell's books. Some of my favorite history-oriented books that also have a sense of humor!

I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

Post-birthday has been recovering from a nasty cold, so I spent some time catching up on #Gladlands @dimension20.bsky.social and oh my God the penultimate episode made me cry like a baby over Hugi and Aunt Freaky's grief. It was so well done! @vicmmic.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social

‘We stole the Super Bowl audience’: how In Living Color pulled off the greatest heist in US TV history Turning Point USA is plotting its own half-time broadcast in defiance of Bad Bunny – but one of TV’s Blackest shows already perfected the alt-cast in 1992

time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp
