I know people who work at NASA Goddard whose offices have already been destroyed over the past two months, in some cases without even being able to remove their work or belongings.
Why such careless destruction?

Note that the Trump administration is bringing in bulldozers and is in the process of tearing down half of the buildings on the NASA Goddard campus, including this library.
While a 2022 plan had called for a few buildings to be replaced, the Trump administration is *only* destroying them.

My hot take is that if you are in the position to ILL materials from the library, do so and then just not give it back after the facilities close, which is marginally better than it getting thrown in a dumpster.*

Hope is a Sewer Rat (Caitlin Seida) • Tenneson Woolf
Landscapes thrill me. Like this one above, driving through Montana last week. It's all of it. The clouds. The snow-capped mountains. The open fields. All of that opens my imagination. It casts a spell...

Let's talk about the history of champagne bottles, the myth of Dom Pérignon & how England invented modern champagne.
Dom Pierre Pérignon was a French Benedictine monk (1638-1715) who influenced French viticulture.
And, ironically for someone associated with it, he tried to PREVENT champagne.

Fun fact: "Lovers' Walk" in Cork has nothing to do with amorous feelings, but is a jingle-jangle mis-translation of Siúl na Lobhar "lepers' walk", i.e. the area into which leprous people were confined, just like in Lepers' Town.
