Hahahahaha I did the same in the 7th inning of the last series. Also feeling good about that $30.

Data sovereignty - some personal musings for Canada Day Tomorrow is Canada Day, a day for reflection and contemplation of sovereignty for those of us who are Canadian and for Artefactual, a Canadian company.  How do we think of sovereignty in a country bui...

I wrote some work things for Canada Day. Like most things in tech (and frankly the world in general) - celebrating sovereignty is complicated! www.artefactual.com/post/data-so...

Making my way from Krakow to Gdańsk today for my first DLM forum meeting. Really enjoying my first time in Poland so far! 🇵🇱 ❤️ I’m even going out on a limb to say so far Krakow has made me some of the best coffees I’ve had in Europe. Is that a controversial take?

Hello Kraków 👋🏻

I am never embarrassed to talk about how ‘sustainability’ of a company also means sustainable employment for people who work there (meaning a living wage). It may have come out a bit brusquely (“our time isn’t free”) but I hope the perspective behind it is understood.

Someone should let the Defense Secretary know about the make up ban www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

I agree. They seemed like wild words Monday night. Still do.

A classic 😆

My workplace loves an April Fool’s Day joke but nothing this year feels like it can be pranked because… well because reality I guess.

SCOOP: DOGE notified the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) today that the entire staff is being put on administrative leave effective immediately, I’ve learned from an agency source.

They’ll be cancelling huge swaths of grants/contracts and starting a Reduction in Force (RIF).

Trump targets 'improper ideology' at Smithsonian museums in new executive order The order states that Vice President JD Vance will be in charge of efforts to prohibit federal funding for Smithsonian programs that are not in line with the administration's goals.

I know we are exhausted from the no really this meets the textbook definition of fascism conversation, but exhibit G.

There is a way to resist this both from inside museums and from outside by collectively choosing to learn, archive, and protect the knowledge they want to erase.

It feels wild to have this come out of the mouth of Canada’s Prime Minister.

Trump signs executive order to ‘eliminate’ agency that funds museums and libraries The Institute of Museum and Library Services is listed alongside six other ‘unnecessary’ organisations

This shouldn’t be a surprise to me, but every day there’s a new selfish, unkind, unecessary, bone-headed move made south of the border. Here’s another one that feela close to home www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/03/17/p...

Sure, I like that it’s light after work in January but it’s not right. Another vote here for year ‘round standard time in the Yukon.

I don’t know why it took so long but I finally today, in “celebration” of the US presidential inauguration, deleted my Facebook account. For years I had used it just for chats with a small group of friends but we’ve found another platform. It’s a tiny thing but it makes me feel better, today.

This has been in my “to read list” for more than a year… a project for this upcoming week.

Know what? I have really nice, supportive, kind, smart, and helpful colleagues. It just makes my day to work with them in this crazy archival and digital preservation sphere. Feeling very happy as I get ready for a few days of vacation.

When (or more to the point… how) did I turn into a person who watches and loves something like Dune Prophecy?

I love this!

I deleted all of my content over there but left the account / didn’t deactivate. Not sure that’s a good or bad I deal but that’s what I chose.

In slack (we all work remotely) my colleagues are discussing the books they are currently reading and it is making me feel a sense of calm and frankly a wee bit more normal about the world.

Is there a #popchoir contingent on here? I feel like I need to post about my Whitehorse choral world. I nearly cried last week with our rendition of Noah Kahan’s Northern Attitude.
