So many things. I've found research partners, colleagues and friends. I've participated in voting rights fundraising. I've learned from so many experts

Meanwhile, I got some new books today. Happy Publishing Week to @sherrythomas.com and @markwaddell.bsky.social
A hardcover book . The librarians by Sherry Thomas. The cover has the title in thin Black font with the author's name in thin white font. The cover is and shows the barrel of a gun protruding onto the scene with smoke coming up out of it. That is curving in the shape of a face. A paperback book Colin gets promoted and dooms the world. In addition to the title in black and white, there is two hands one and a glove handing a card to a white hand and a sweater. There is fire and other red things in the background. The book is by Mark waddell

Podcast episode ad for something I just downloaded is an "American clothing store"🤨 "and ensures you aren't footing that tariff bill"

At least they have it right who is paying the higher prices

The new Wiley journal review system is an absolute nightmare. Editorial assistants have been replaced by a clunky, AI-enabled website that makes it harder to find and invite reviewers. Associate editor workloads have increased. I'm not convinced the invitations to reviewers are even going through.
