I'm going to be focusing on my @delibrarian account for now. I'm not giving this one up, it's just that I'm exploring a bunch of places and don't have the mental bandwidth for All The Things. I'll be re-following people from that account (so if you see another delibrarian in your follows, it might be me!) See you around the Fediverse!

Excited to see #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon take root here. There is an instance/server you can join: https://blacktwitter.io/about
Black Twitter

Remember when you first heard about Black twitter and thought it was actually a separate website? Was that just me?

It's ended up being interview week - 2 candidates for 1 job (each with full day interviews) and 3 candidates for another job (with, thankfully, 1 hour interviews), today, tomorrow, and Thursday. But I also worked evening desk, so it was a 10 hour day today.
Tomorrow I'll be home late again, but I won't be working the whole time. I have to see if I can do a WFH day on Friday.

#ShowerThought in hindsight, I think that we, as a species, have transitioned everything to digital technology with reckless haste. Computer hardware and software is, almost without exception, still in the experimental/ toy phase. Slapped together, insecure, disposable, obsolete from the moment it ships. Yet we already depend on it utterly for pretty much everything, even though almost nobody knows how to manage all that data sanely in digital form (I know I don't). It's overwhelming.

CrossFit’s decision Monday to deactivate all Facebook and Instagram pages indefinitely was fueled by growing data and privacy concerns with the social media giant, Greg Glassman revealed on a call with the Morning Chalk Up.  CrossFit staff has been silent on the changes amid large speculation in the community about what is actually going on. …

Very small attendance, but VERY enthusiastic. I count that as a win. OER for affordability, access, and pedagogy.

I get to talk about OER at our faculty Teaching Academy today.

Oh, and we have Center for Autism in our very building. (Which is not the building HR is in. Maybe it should be.)

And our admin has been very busy chasing international students lately. Um, cultural differences much?

Even after a few hours I am still annoyed. We had an HR "training" on "dealing with difficult people." Which apparently includes anyone who won't meet your eyes. When I pointed out the cultural and neurological issues involved in this, I got talked down to.
