critlib 2018-02-20: 100th critlib chat celebration

So excited! I’m a chronic #critlib lurker but hopefully not this time.  https://twitter.com/violetbfox/status/964527615980769280 …

It's important that librarians have an avenue to talk about themselves. Not enough of this is happening. I am grateful to be part of this community #critlib #vocationalawe

After being a week early last time, I’m here! I remembered! I’m so excited! #critlib  https://twitter.com/violetbfox/status/966128414783688704 …

Hey #critlib folks... I have cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven right around 9pm. If you have turned on the delicious goodies app, you can have some.

Q1. What podcast/song/album/video/TV show/movie/video game have you been digging lately? (Any audiovisual content is A-OK. No books!) #critlib

A1: I've been hitting some of my classic faves that keep me motivated due to their spirit: the animes Gurren Lagann and Little Witch Academia and the manga series Library Wars. #critlib

A1 - The Alienist #critlib

Hi #critlib! Happy 100th chat! I love that Q1 is basically a set up for me to say I'm super into #MurderSheWrote, and I'm watching it right now while I read travel grant apps.

Please keep introducing yourself and jump right into Q1, which Kelly has just shared. NO BOOKS, *NERDS*. #critlib 🤓  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966131610688086016 …

And I'm going to argue that it being a series is different enough to get by the no book rule. If not, kick me out. I dare you. :P #critlib

I forgot about #critlib tonight but my cat has trapped me on the couch at the right time!

Hi #critlib Ammie, Fort Worth, TX. Academic research and instruction librarian and subject liaison for six departments.

A1: Finally commuting without kids this year! Podcast faves: Another Round, Keep It, Unhappy Hour, Still Processing. #critlib

A1: I’m always digging @Brooklyn99FOX as a TV show, but also I love the podcast Two Dope Queens (which is also a four part special on HBO right now) #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966131610688086016 …

Hi #critlib! Sarah, academic librarian from NYC tweeting from vacation in TX.

Something I've been enjoying listening to lately, which is relevant to my location (St. Cloud, MN):  https://ostinatorecords.bandcamp.com/album/sweet-as-broken-dates-lost-somali-tapes-from-the-horn-of-africa … #critlib

And I should say that I'm getting back into Dungeons & Dragons again and would love to start some games, even online. #critlib

Hi #critlib! For once I manage to be here for it. I'm Amanda, academic librarian in New York.

A1. I love podcasts! Many are on hiatus - @mashupamerican, @earhustlesq, @anotherround, @seesomething, @NPRCodeSwitch #critlib

A1. The Hamilton Soundtrack pumps me up each morning on my way to work! #critlib

A1. Loving live music and singing with other humans. Last show that stands out was Moira Smiley singing with Nordic folk band Sver, and closing by bringing fiddle campers of all ages up on stage. #critlib

A1. Podcast: Why won’t you date me? W/Nicole Byer, Olympic ice dancing solely for #virtuemoir steaminess and Lost Girl have been my jam this week. #critlib

A1. Also, did anyone catch the “We’re still here for Janet” episode fm the #StillProcessing podcast? #critlib

A1: I’m really, really bad about being consistent with media other than TV (I watch all of it, and it’s all amazing). Looking forward to this thread of recommendations. #critlib

Don't forget to build you PLN by following others in tonight's chat #critlib

Hi #critlib! I'm Ean, somewhat recent MLIS grad with 3 library jobs. A1 - just finished watching all of The Good Place and I love everyone in it.

@jkgadsby Still Processing is the BEST! #critlib

I'm Karla, and I'm a cataloger from southern Minnesota. My first #critlib !

A1: omg. okay. Black Panther Album (King's Dead is THE track for me rn)/Grace and Frankie/Black Panther (I'm never shutting up about it, lmao)/Horizon Zero Dawn for narrative & Rocket League for mindless bumper car soccer fun :). #critlib

Hi #critlib !! I'm an adult services public library worker in central VA. Also a library student finishing up a paper, so I may be in & out tonight. Couldn't miss the big 100, tho. 💖

Hi! Attending my first #critlib chat! I'm a #MLIS student at @UW_iSchool and work for the San Diego State's Library.

A1: Variety’s Stagecraft podcast is a new favorite. Gordon Cox, their critic, talks with directors, composers, writers, as well as actors. Hits all my theatre nerd buttons. #critlib

A1: I have had a difficult time finding a podcast that will hold my attention, but I have been enjoying Modern Love! #critlib

@IamLibrarianSam Me too, but I have to take that series in small doses. Every time I pick one, it's one where they make some serious inclusion flubs or get defensive about it. #critlib

a1- A1: (podcasts) @nprpolitics @NPREmbedded @nprfreshair The Dig, Behind the News, On the Media, Nancy, Slow Burn (Watergate!), @UncertainHour and more! (Movies) Call me By Your Name, Lady Bird, CoCo (Music) Deux, the latest Boris, Roedelius, Eleven Pond, Cluster & Eno #critlib

Hi #critlib! Dropping in late, but I'm Kevin. Academic instruction librarian in Denver, where it snowed more today than it did during Midwinter. 😅

@LibraryMedlin @KeshaRose YES! #critlib

Hoo boy, I could talk to you about tv ALL. DAY. Some current faves: Jane the Virgin, Superstore, Ozark, This Is Us, InkMaster, MTV's The Challenge, and Good Behavior. (I consulted my tv spreadsheet for this). #critlib

A1: Haaaay I'm an academic archivist in Denver. There are so many great ones. @offcolorpod (ai ai @rebekamendation!), @ConsciousPod, and @mediaINDIGENA are recent faves #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966131610688086016 …

@katkimbell I listened to that one while pumping my fist and screaming yaaaaasssss. SO GOOD #critlib

A1: I don’t generally like podcasts, but @CitationsPod has converted me. And, Three’s Company is my TV jam these days #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966131610688086016 …

Hey #critlib spec coll librarian at academic library NYC

A1: Podcasts: I love 99% Invisible & @Radiolab. It is also my favorite to listen to the recording of @waitwait Don't Tell Me on my drive to work Monday mornings. Music: Chicago hiphop on repeat - Saba, Noname, Chance, and Kendrick #critlib

A1 I've been listening to Beauty Pill a ton lately, especially their newest album:  https://beautypill.bandcamp.com/album/describes-things-as-they-are … #critlib

Hi #critlib! Happy 100th! Lisa, info lit coordinator in Illinois. My soundtrack for my sabbatical is my Pink! Pandora channel.

Also I’m eagerly awaiting the return of @2DopeQueens of course. Wish I had HBO so could watch the specials #critlib

@read_away @UW_iSchool Hi Allison! So glad you could join us. Chat's are a great way to take charge of your professional development and grow your PLN. #critlib

Yo #critlib coming in late-coordinator for research/instruction in Lynchburg, VA

@katkimbell @mashupamerican @earhustlesq @anotherround @seesomething @NPRCodeSwitch I love @NPRCodeSwitch! #critlib

cosign #critlib  https://twitter.com/arellanover/status/966132767774867456 …

A1 I never thought I would say this, but I’ve also been enjoying 2 reality TV shows lately 😳: The Incredible @DrPol and @NakedAndAfraid. One is about a veterinarian, the other about 2 people who survive in the wilderness naked for 21 days. #critlib

I’m Danya, academic ref librarian in MN. Lurking while I put my kid to bed. Followed #critlib a long time but never introduced. Hello!

A1. Also loving exposure to many genres (mostly folk, bluegrass, acoustic blues) via Spotify for music and Filmstruck for movies. Last seen: The Guild on Netflix, and The Salt of the Earth on Filmstruck. #critlib

I just finished Season 2 of More Perfect (podcast) and have been re-listening to old Radiolab episodes #critlib

A-1 I'm enjoying two dope queens and two slate podcasts - Mom and Dad are fighting and Politcal Gabfest @SlateGabfest #critlib

#critlib A1: Podcasts I need to catch up on over spring break: I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats (@mountain_goats) and 12 Hour Day with JD and Connor (@12hrJDConnor)  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966131610688086016 …

A1: And this is hardly an obscure find, but the podcast @earhustlesq is SO great. Cannot recommend it enough #critlib

Listening to War on Drugs Deeper Understanding | BORIS Dear | Jason Moran Ten #critlib

A1. YouTube channel Vlog after College, featuring a guy and his corgi. So cute! My cat loves it. #critlib

@aripants I’m so behind in TV, but my bf watched Ozark, so I caught a few episodes. It was crazy! (also seen like 1 1/2 episodes of This is Us) #critlib

@kellyblanchat @metageeky That's what I love about it. They own their mistakes and check themselves. Being willing to say the wrong thing, and then take a step back from it is important. #critlib

A1. Also I really love @NancyPodcast. #critlib

Q2. What would you like to be an expert in? #critlib

A2 – Effectively providing professional development that is meaningful to participants #critlib

A2: per @tressiemcphd and her fab article "In an Age of Wicked Problems, Beware of Simple Solutions," not a damn thing  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/opinion-cottom-wicked-problems_us_5a54c562e4b003133ecc52d6 …. Death to "professionally smart people." "Expert" gets way too close to this for my comfort. Life long learning ftw. #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966133623383523330 …

@s_k_l_w @2DopeQueens The specials are great! My favorite so far has been with @RheaButcher #critlib

#critlib Q2. I'd love to be an expert in even one language outside English, but sadly I'm not a quick language learner (and more of a dabbler, tbh). I'm taking an ASL class now, which I'm enjoying!

A2. I think I'm too much of a natural dilettante to want to be an expert in anything. I would like to know more about discourse analysis, ritual theory, and local Indigenous cultures right now tho. And maybe play piano again. #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966133623383523330 …

We just watched Bleak House mini series seen it before, read the book but was still surprised at the end Dickenson is so good #critlib

It's the 100th #critlib chat! 💖🎉🌈 I'm Donna, infolit coordinator in an academic library in PA. Gonna be in and out but excited to participate as best as I can.

Also, hi #critlib: this is my first chat and I'm an aspiring outreach/engagement academic librarian! studying at @umsi and applying to jobs in central Indiana and eastern Washington!

@arellanover I really loved the perspective on Janet’s career slump. I’m so out of touch w/ the music scene that I hadn’t noticed. I also loved their view on her singing quality in Scream! #critlib

A2. ALL THE THINGS! But if time was not a factor, I'd love to be an expert in Copyright law, coding, and community psychology. #critlib

@ferenjamin @umsi Hi Ben. Glad you could join us. After tonight, you will be hooked on Twitter chats for sure!! #critlib

Q1: the intercepted podcast keeps me sane during these mad times. #critlib

A1 (still): ALSO, The Good Place is a must watch. #critlib

A2: I wish i were an expert at installing stereo speakers, because I cannot figure out how to wire mine correctly right now. I don't even know what to google to troubleshoot this. #critlib

(I never remember the hashtag) #critlib  https://twitter.com/CharissaAPowell/status/966134640712003584 …

Hi #critlib! I'm late but stoked for the 100th! Academic lib in VA.

A1: also, Black Lightning as far as TV goes. And most of the podcasts I listen to are writing related, but I love 88 Cups of Tea, PubCrawl, and others. #critlib

A2: I’ve always wanted to be a really excellent pastry chef #critlib

@jeninthelib This show is the only thing that gives me any hope for humanity right now! #teamchidi #critlib

@violetbfox This is awesome! Would also love to be totally fluent not just conversational in Spanish #critlib

A1 So my kid does plays with the this awesome local performing arts program. Her third show ever goes up this weekend, and my fave listening right now is the rehearsal CD in the car. It's a 30-min musical version of Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon #nerdsquared #critlib

A2. Fingerpicking on guitar and banjo. Better breath control as a singer. Knowing long traditional ballads and their provenance by heart. #critlib

👋🏾 #critlib Sorry I’m late. I’m Denisse, Reference Librarian in Miami, FL and recent grad! A1- I’ve been heavily into the album Alma Mestiza by Rebeca Lane, SO good (It’s in Spanish tho) Also, hablo español! Feel free to codeswitch with me!

A2: I’d love to be an expert in the memoir genre, brush pen calligraphy, and baking delicious cookies for my personal expertise #critlib

I'd love to be an expert in physiology and anatomy. I'm an exercise nerd so I would love to be able to identify, describe, and understand all that stuff. So far I just know there's stuff. #critlib

Favorite podcasts: @tomandlorenzo's Pop Style Opinionfest, and @JohnnysHouse (Orlando morning radio show). #critlib

@jeninthelib YES. 💯 #critlib

A2 I would love to be an expert in info organization! And maybe parasitology.. #critlib

A2: I'd love to know how to sing! But I cannot carry a bit of a tune lol I'd love to become an expert on first year success and transition programs in academic libraries. And if I could learn to be an expert in picking out avocados, my life would improve dramatically #critlib

@gnomadlibrarian It's never too late. Glad you are here LIz #critlib

Dickens! #spellcheck #critlib

(thing is, the songs really are fabulous 💖🎶🎭) #critlib

A2: I suffer from having a ton of small expertises so it's hard to pick something new. For work, maybe understand copyright/fair use stuff way more. #critlib

A2. I’d like to be in an expert in helping leaders lead, be more self-aware, more democratic in their decisions. Also, how to do all the things and avoid burnout. #critlib

It's really really good. Also Chidi is my fave. Or maybe Tahani. I really can't decide. It's a great show, watch it. #critlib  https://twitter.com/jeninthelib/status/966134703882457088 …

A2: But if I was going for pure fun, I think I would love to know at the muscle memory level how to be a master chef when it comes to knives, cutting meat, etc. #critlib

A2: I would be really knowing how to maintain my car: oil changes, tune ups, etc. #critlib

@arellanover @violetbfox Spanish and ASL are definitely the two languages I want to get better at. My toddler-level ASL has been really useful recently. #critlib

Q2: anyone who knows me will be unsurprised that I'd like to be an expert on opera. #critlib

@arellanover @violetbfox I agree! I wish I knew another language. #critlib

Q2: Too many things 😂 But I'd really love to study linguistics, specifically word exchange in contact zones or language isolates #critlib

@kcrowe I’m 100% here for Janet #notarobot #critlib

A2. Fluency in Norwegian. Or jazz improv. #critlib

A2: I wish I was an expert or completely fluent in another language. I know some Spanish, Hebrew, and ASL, but can only have super simple conversations. #critlib

A2. I really want continue to dig into relational theory, learn how to make really good eggs (like, really really good), and finally master a cateye liner #critlib

I was planning on just lurking tonight because I was feeling sleepy, but this looks like too much fun. Hello! I’m Kelly and I am a public librarian in the GTA (near Toronto, but not Toronto.) #critlib

A2 - something to do with applied linguistics--there are so many facets to how language is used in real life! #critlib

A2: Oh, and sewing. I would make so many silly cat costumes though that it's probably for the best. #critlib

A1. A few podcasts I'm flipping between: Yogaland (talk about yoga), Season of the Bitch (witches! socialism! discussions of labor & feminism!), & Witch Please (HP fans). #critlib

@katkimbell This is of interest to me as well. Have just started a book on leadership called Bad Leadership by Barbara Kellerman #critlib

#critlib I know/do/learned too many things I can't be an expert in anything my brain would explode A2

A2 Mechanics. Gardening. Yarncraft. #critlib

Hi #critlib! Dropping in late. I'm Anastasia, academic librarian. It's been awhile, I missed this.

Hi #critlib. A1: Zelda Breath of the Wild is my new fav.

#critlib A2: As yet undecided, but haven't ruled out a PhD somewhere in my future. I love learning too much. Something about learning, technology, libraries, int'l development, publishing...  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966133623383523330 …

@kcrowe Everybody is SO good! But Chidi's indecisiveness speaks to a particular part of my soul 😂 #critlib

A2. At home: Mending and hanging up clothes, asking the landlord to fix things, screening and sorting snail mail so I don’t miss the important stuff. #critlib

@arellanover Cateye liner is tough! I struggled my whole life on it, but then I found a liner and an approach that worked for me and my lids. (maybelleine materprecise liner does it for me) I trace an outline and fill it in, basically #critlib

A2. I would like to know a few good recipes by heart and I’d like to get a lot better at saying “fuck it”. #critlib

#critlib Q1 Happy century mark! I usually just lurk. I lived in libraryland for a good while & am now working as a research administrator. Been listening to the "Hidden Brain" podcast lately.

@lisahubbell Ohh, nice. Do you do any fingerpicking already, Lisa? #critlib

A2. I just came back from a lecture about kitchen gardening, so right now I'm really itching to be an expert gardener with a super lush and vibrant garden. Spring is coming so it's time for some baby steps! #critlib

A2: also ice dancing because I need an excuse to use the word “twizzle” on the daily #critlib

Q2 - I'm struggling with this one. I'm not sure I want to be an expert but I'm going to be inspired by @violetbfox and say another language or two - one of which would be a coding one. And maybe a martial art. #critlib

A2: Amazingly I don't really give a damn about accessibility... It's super important but not to a damn level. #critlib

Honestly, I think government documents would be nice. Always gives me pause when answering reference questions, and feel like I should know it better as a librarian! #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966133623383523330 …

A2: Hmm. Probably would be down to be an expert graphic designer, with actual art skills. I can barely draw stick figures right now. #critlib

Q3. What do you give a damn about? #critlib

A3 – I want to continue to grow as a professional and not become stagnant. I want my instruction to always be fresh and cutting edge. #critlib

A3 - education, equity, inclusion, relationships, and peace #critlib

@ferenjamin Plus, wouldn't it be great to be called Dr. Rearick ?? #critlib

A3 Employee engagement. All hands on deck. Doing as leading. Flattening the hierarchy. Reflection as process. #onaroll #critlib

Hope no one minds me eavesdropping on #critlib from the other side of the world. I'm a card carrying antipodean librarian.

A3: Making sure decisions are made with key stakeholders consulted and heard. #critlib

A3: What I give a damn about is actually sustainable change. I want to change the culture around accessibility, around inclusion, around social justice. #critlib

A3. I give a lot of damns about my little rural community. And, of course, education. Education is my jam. #critlib

A3. Anti-racism, Indigenous sovereignty, disability rights, wetlands conservation, abolishing ICE. That's what I've been working on and bugging my legislators about lately, anyway 😅 #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966135889989533696 …

Oh yeah, Gove Docs is a tough one. Still learning and probably always will be with that one #critlib  https://twitter.com/RoxanneShirazi/status/966136296652582912 …

Accessibility isn't enough if people resent doing the actual work. Make it easier to do. Change the tools. Make it simple practice. #critlib

#critlib A3. I'll apologetically admit that I give a damn about organizing information, and unapologetically holler that I give a damn about dismantling capitalism, colonization, and white supremacy.

A2. I am working very gently on my German. Maybe fluency, someday. #critlib

A3. Working for justice from firmly within my lane. #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966135889989533696 …

@LibDanielleJ pretty sure that not only does no one mind, you are fully welcomed by all in #critlib

A3 I give a damn about younger and newer people having new challenges, and not the same damn challenges as always #critlib

A1. TV: Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency MOVIES: I watched the new Baywatch movie this week and regret nothing. PODCASTS: @nprpolitics @NPRCodeSwitch MUSIC: Japanese Breakfast, The White Stripes #critlib

A2: I would want to be a really good athlete. I almost don't even care what sport/activity. Maybe the Olympics are influencing my answer...just a little bit lol #critlib

A3 I give so many damns anytime someone talks shit about students, especially first-year students #stop #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966135889989533696 …

A3: doing work I’m proud of, inside and outside of actual work-work #critlib

A3: raising kids who are decent humans, doing the practicalthings I can to make the world a better place starting with my own neighborhood in NYC #critlib

Hi #critlib! I’m lae (they/them). A1. Top media in no particular order: @rustbeltradio, @morganmpage ‘s One from the Vaults, @LitReviewChi & Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation

A3 K-20 information literacy pathways #critlib

Q3: What do I give a damn about? That's easy. Students. Also faculty. And staff. Community members. So, basically all my library users. #critlib

A2- Language has been on my mind a lot lately and to echo other tweets, I definitely want to improve my Spanish, learn ASL and French Creole. I want to be an expert in student outreach, leadership, and possibly donor relations/getting that $$ for our students! #critlib

A3 Also, my cat. #LISmentalhealth #critlib

A3 my work, empathy, mental illness, running, people who give a damn about something, and good beer #critlib

I have been reading so much about reflection and have been including a reflection element in my instruction using Padlet #critlib  https://twitter.com/katkimbell/status/966136505176555520 …

A3: I care about representation and making minorities of all types feel comfortable in all parts of society, especially in academia. I also care about helping young people become good, kind, helpful people in my work as a high school teacher #critlib

that’s a wrap, everyone, Violet wins #critlib  https://twitter.com/violetbfox/status/966136916340027392 …

What I give a damn about is making change right. I hate notions of "We're all the same in that we're all different." Diversity should be a normal thing that still matters. You expect diversity and have to work with it. #critlib

A3 Animal welfare. Information organization. My family. That’s what I give a damn about. #critlib

@chiuchiutrain Cats are so important! #critlib

A3: I care about a lot, education, inclusion, access to information, equality, representation . . . #critlib

A3: I have three mental illnesses and I've been sober for 20 years. I Paramedics on my chest is not something I want to relive. Nothing comes before maintaining my mental health. And given my comorbidity and sensitivity to meds. I'm vigilant. #critlib

A3. I give a damn about public service. I give a damn about governance. I give a damn about understanding local & state bureaucracy well enough to help people navigate it. #critlib

#critlib A3: broadly defined, increasing agency and engagement wherever it's lacking  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966135889989533696 …

A3 - lots of things, but politics, power imbalances, literature come to mind first. #critlib

A3 Tacos, all types of tacos. #critlib

@RoxanneShirazi No, no, I'm embarrassed by my answer, tbh, because I spend so much more time thinking about/moving towards justice in info organization, and not nearly enough about bringing about the important stuff. #critlib

A3: I give a significant damn about dismantling systems of oppression and nature and fucking plastic water bottles ugh i want them to all go away especially since so many people don't have access to good water in the US and abroad #critlib

A3: I care a lot about leaving librarianship in better shape than when I found it. #critlib

A3. I also give a damn about books, though I do know and love how much more than that librarianship is. #critlib

A3: I give a gigantic ass damn about writing and reading spec fic w/qpoc in it & amplifying the voices, art, activism, and efforts of folks at the margins. #critlib

Evergreen tweet. #critlib  https://twitter.com/chiuchiutrain/status/966137149342060550 …

A3: being a good colleague, doing good work, getting shit done, not being a jerk. #critlib

@metageeky The heart of American librarianship in the past century. #critlib.

A3. I give a damn about this world not being a total shitstorm for my son and future generations and working to make it better. #critlib

A3: Learning. I love watching my students learn...#critlib

A3. Turning libraries into places where people can plot their collective liberation #critlib

A4. I'm currently on sabbatical from employment a bit stressed about the bills stuff but if I could I'd probably go somewhere quiet with no internet and think about stuff, maybe write a book #critlib

@violetbfox @RoxanneShirazi It's still important since we need to keep/modify/adjust those info org parts of our culture and profession too. #critlib

Late to #critlib but I may jump in on this one, since it’s officially the 100th chat! 💯

@metageeky I love Library Wars. Little Witch Academia, too, but ... libraries :) <3 #critlib

A3. Genre access, cats, women's rights, in no particular order. #critlib

Gardening! Also roller skating. I have become pretty obsessed with watching roller skating videos and want to know how to move like a magical mermaid on wheels. 🧜‍♀️ #critlib

@violetbfox @RoxanneShirazi And by being passionate about both, you can make that change happen more deeply and systemically. #critlib

@kevinseeber TY! I know some who are not as concerned. #critlib

A3. I give a damn about actually caring about mental health in academia and Library/education work with our actions as colleagues, supervisors, and role models/mentors. #critlib

Mic drop right there! #critlib  https://twitter.com/kevinseeber/status/966137634274684928 …

A3. People being supported in living into their gifts, working together on purposeful projects, living lightly on the planet, seeking peaceful solutions to conflict, communicating directly and honestly. I am happiest when my work contributes to this. #critlib

A2 I'd love to be way better at organizing (people, not stuff) & helping folks see power relations even when recognizing them are not in their immediate, obvious interests. #critlib

A3: Honestly? Myself. My well being. My creativity. My finances. Because nobody will ever care about me as much as I do. I want to set up a good life for future me . #critlib

A1. Welcome to Night vale Podcast. TV Show is RWBY. Songs: Togen Renka and Kureha Itoshiuta from GARNiDELiA. Video Game is Gal Gun. #critlib

@maxgbowman Thanks for clarifying. Hierachies are not always bad, and casting too wide nets can dissuade people from accepting change. #critlib

#critlib A3: my current job has convinced me there's a lot left for large academic libraries to do to support the work of staff in units that aren't academic departments.

A3. I'll risk sounding like a librarian cliche and also say that I give a damn about reading and writing. I believe in the power of voice! #critlib

Super late to the super important #critlib chat! I’m Olivia. Art librarian in MA!

Q3 - Diveristy/Inclusion/Equity, justice reform, feminism, gun regulations especially allowing CDC to research it, child development (mostly my own), sustainability, corruption in politics and more #critlib

A2. Manga/Anime/Japan #critlib

@thebookinator A3: Preserving libraries as a place of militant moderation, balancing / including / preserving diverse & divergent views & voices #critlib

A3: I give a damn about sharpening the contradictions of capitalism by fighting against white supremacist imperialist patriarchy. #critlib a little everyday.

Q4. Imagine you have a no-strings-attached sabbatical from your job, and no debt/bills to pay, for one year. What would you do? #critlib

A4 – Professionally – Attend as many library related conferences as possible. Personally – Travel #critlib

A4: A year on my own... I'd focus on changing the tools for accessibility. Get a community building open source PDF editing tools that do PDF/UA. Ridiculous the only 2 options are licensed. #critlib

A3. I give a damn about empathy. And while I’m not always the best at practicing it, I think it could go a long way toward fixing some shit. #critlib

@lisahubbell Cool! I play guitar and bass. I play them good enough to have been in a couple post-punk bands… which means I could still stand to learn a lot. 😅 #critlib

A3. intersectionality. my community. creating a warm & inclusive environment at my pow & in my home. #critlib

#critlib A3. I give a damn about ending stigma towards mental health!

Reminder...following the people in tonight's chat is a great way to grow your PLN #critlib

(why am I having such a hard time answering this) the first thing that popped into my head is that I want to go somewhere with yummy food and wine. And visit as many museums as possible. #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966138153336795136 …

This. And being able to do it in a way that doesn't cause people to shut down in their own white fragility feels (which I feel like is a *process* for most of us white folks). #critlib  https://twitter.com/foureyedsoul/status/966138259892879360 …

A4: I would do an intensive study of electronic music at Mills College or go live in the woods again #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966138153336795136 …

A4. Doctoral studies, either linguistics if I can get most of the coursework done in one year, or LIS more realistically #critlib  https://twitter.com/thebookinator/status/966138153336795136 …

Hello and goodbye from academic Librarian based in Abu Dhabi. GTG get ready for work now, it's 6:30 AM. Enjoy the rest of the chat! #critlib

A4: I'd also want to support more windfall technologies... the little bits of tech that would be awesome for small numbers of people but are not important enough to garner focus. #critlib

@Willoughbrarian @elle_chiefelk T H I S! 💸💸💸 #critlib

A1 So inspired after listening to @msrachelhollis audiobook “Girl, Wash Your Face” #audible #critlib

A4: a deep dive into some archival research that has been on the back burner but constantly on my mind for the past several years. #critlib

A4: Doing a multi-institutional, longitudinal study talking to undergrad students (maybe about student success with @CharissaAPowell ;) ) #critlib And coffee…lots of coffee.

#critlib A4. I would travel the world with my husband, maybe spend most of it in Japan, and write some books.

A4. I have a long museum bucket list. If time and money were of no concern, I'd check a bunch of the international museums off my list in these 365 days. #critlib

A1. I just finished the first season of Star Trek Discovery (it’s amazing!) and the second season of The Good Place. I would 100% recommend both. #critlib

@CharissaAPowell Museums was my answer, too! #critlib

A4 Volunteer in Puerto Rico. Teach in rural America. Take care of my mom and grandma. #critlib

But it would be more important to build a community in which windfall tech could be requested and other coders could seek out doing. #critlib

A3 that we (libraries) are still here in ten years. Oh and being known for my kindness #critlib

A3. I give a damn about anti-racism and inclusion, sustainability (particularly waste reduction), and local food/farms. #critlib

A4 OOF. Maybe go finish one of my two unfinished masters degrees? Or something less structured... yeah. Maybe something less structured... #critlib

A4. On sabbatical now but with a family and lots o medical bills, so this Q is a dream. I’d visit all my favorite #critlib people around the country and take you all out for coffee and just listen to you and learn. Also, convince you to go to hot yoga w me & @zoh_zoh

A4: Write my little heart out. And also volunteer in my community because that kind of time and freedom needs to be paid forward. #critlib

A4: I'd go to the coldest place that has snow and mountains, work on my novel, read books, and not talk to another human being unless I wanted to. I'd also get my voice back in shape so I could start perform again. #critlib

A4 - #critlib 1. knock out my TBR pile 2. write all the things--old stories, new papers 3. travel more! back to Spain, down to South America...but I'm not picky.

Or, for a personal sabbatical, I would go visit all the MLB stadiums in the US (and watch a TON of baseball) #critlib

#critlib A4. Well, my current unemployment is probably as close as I'll ever get to a sabbatical. I've been reading, taking continuing education classes, working on personal projects (including compiling the #LISmentalhealth zine & launching the Cataloging Lab)--it's been great.

#critlib I give a damp about all the oppressed people who fear for their lives and families at our collegein my community and in Syria A3

A4 global nomad (my high school best friend did this two years ago w her husband - saved up, quit job, etc.) - I'd go more rural/small cities than large #critlib

A4 And maybe go around and pee in every women's restroom anywhere that expresses concern about trans people #critlib

A3 cont: also, I give a damn about the POC librarians coming up, currently in library school. I give a damn about spaces that exist to welcome them & create space for their experiences and reflections. I give a damn about them joining and *staying* in this profession. #critlib

@thebookinator A4: I'd work on my superhero-librarian web comic that includes subtext of core info literacy skills modeling. Someone PLEASE PAY ME to do this! #critlib

A3 I give a damn about understanding why things are how they are: in myself (#LISMentalHealth), in my kids and family, in my community/ies, in my profession. And I give a damn about celebrating what's good, and making what isn't good better. #critlib

Q4: I'd live near the mountains and write a book. Or I'd take up some sort of activism - maybe run for local office? I cannot even imagine such a luxury as that much time off. #critlib

Helloooo #critlib! In Chicago, finishing my degree. I co run the African American Studies program at UIC and am transitioning to academic librarianship!
