On this day where librarians consider the closing of Baker & Taylor, I would like to remind you that Sandy Berman still walks this earth and today is his birthday.

www.sanfordberman.org

Welcome to the Sanford Berman website devoted to the work of librarian Sanford Berman who created an innovative, radical and inclusive catalog which used terms we use when looking for information instead of the 19th century language of the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Berman worked for the Hennepin County library from 1973 until 1999. Sandy continues to create subject headings and works for political and social justice.

B&T news out of libraryland has me kinda shocked - knew they had been in rough waters since 2020 but didn’t expect this.

Soundgarden - both their 1996 Underground Atlanta show during the Olympics and their final show in Detroit. I now use what I call the DPI (Death Price Index) which takes the chances an artist will die or the band breakup before returning into account with regards to ticket prices.

Incredibly difficult question - just looking over the track listing and I’m already “ooo this one is up there” at least 5x so far. Have to take a gander again in the morning

Got me there.

Gotta disagree here - largest rodent. And they ride other animals. Perhaps that’s what’s missing in the zoo atmosphere

Not sure how long I can keep working through the world doing *gestures broadly* this - therapist already told me to start making an exit plan - but I am at such a low level of self-confidence these days - not even sure where to place my next foot.

Also I read if you still have the chip (I do) you’re supposed to store it in milk or saliva? Seems strange enough to be legit for my spit

Chipped a tooth pretty bad two days before a colonoscopy. I’ll call the dentist tomorrow who I have an appointment with next Wednesday already but this is definitely heightening anxiety levels.
