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.
I've been off for a while, but I *did* finish my thesis! https://ctcommunityfishdata.pubpub.org/

@bgcarlisle Not only would I buy this, I'd get it for our university library.
@platypus This is sadly familiar.

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