I have been super productive all day and now have the overwhelming urge to go home and rot on the couch for as long as possible.

But work is not over yet.

Sadly.

It's so warm out today and the dog can't stop sneezing. I should feel bad but it's hilarious. πŸ˜‚

We should have pre-surgery registries like we do wedding and baby registries.

I'm always hearing stories about people who find stray kittens all over the place, and I never find any kittens ANYWHERE. πŸ™

I would like to lodge a complaint.

Bitchy queens (affectionate), women with horrors (affectionate)

You really don't want to tangle with ballet dancers, they're either bitchy queens or women who have undergone horrors you can't begin to imagine.

So in late April I'm having surgery to repair both. I'll be off work for a few weeks and in a huge leg brace for SIX weeks. And then back to PT for... ever.

I know it will be a struggle, but honestly I am so excited to maybe finally fix this?? I want my life back!

I realized I dropped this here and then never expanded. πŸ˜‚ I tore my ACL and meniscus last August, did a ton of PT for months, and then... still had a torn ACL and a WORSE meniscus tear. I haven't been able to run, hike, or dance since August. Walking is really hard.

Tribute Post for Fobazi Ettarh - ACRLog With immense sadness, the writers of ACRLog acknowledge the passing of Fobazi Ettarh, library worker and influential LIS scholar. If you are able to contribute, there is a GoFundMe established for Fob...

My colleagues at ACRLog wrote short tributes to the life and work of Fobazi Ettarh @fobettarh.bsky.social. I wrote about her work on disability, which I think deserves more recognition. acrlog.org/2026/03/04/t...

Thanks @ezerrenner.bsky.social for coordinating. #CripLib #VocationalAwe

These words in this order are very enticing to me, personally.

β€œHow can you possibly be ok wearing a USA jersey, Katy?”

Because I REFUSE to let these motherfucking hockey and politician dudes steal the joy of the women’s team’s accomplishment, and I also REFUSE to cede this country to those assholes!
