Sheesh, we all look the same. 🧑🏻‍🏫 0 Feb 04, 2021, 22:58 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space Colleague A: mentions a birds-of-a-feather meeting that recently took place. Colleague B: counters by suggesting we hold a snakes-of-a-scale meeting. Colleague A: suggests perhaps a hair-of-the-dog meeting? Colleague B: is outraged and insists academic rigour must be maintained - it is a dogs-of-a-hair meeting! 0 Feb 04, 2021, 05:56 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space Looking into data management systems and have veered from research systems into enterprise systems. All the websites have sections for both Products and Solutions. What is the difference between the two? Who knows? I mean, one of the Solutions on offer is Financial Crime and Compliance? Is financial crime a solution now? To what, I wonder? I am very confused and a bit dubious about whatever it is these companies are trying to sell me... 0 Gene boosted Feb 04, 2021, 00:45 Eric @ericireland@aus.social Eel basket https://museumsandcollections.unimelb.edu.au/news/items/eel-basket-for-melbourne-connect 1 Feb 03, 2021, 12:38 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space  Show more My partner on his escapades from last night: "I was hanging out on Black Twitter and then somehow accidentally found myself on archivist Twitter. I had no idea what was going on. I think I offended a bunch of people. Now I have archivist Twitter hangover and am following Michelle Caswell." 🤣 1 Feb 03, 2021, 03:45 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space Yay! Glad to hear that the ASA have decided not to renew their contract with Taylor and Francis, in favour of moving the Archives and Manuscripts journal to an open access publishing model. 1 Feb 02, 2021, 23:54 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space More from Sen: "Academic standards of rigour are constructed to exclude and disallow certain sectors of society to participate with full voice in their own stories or transmission of their narratives. We are not passive recipients of our own history. Our sense-making of our stories doesn't belong to scholars, whose privileged access to academia push us out of our own picture. I wonder how many academics have been under the objectification they rate so highly?"

Sen says "[M]ost of the archives that depict mental health lived experience are filtered by mental health professionals, but that is like lions representing bird song in roars. Why should the hunters give the hunted's history? [...] How can we tell our true stories when our words are seen as sickness?" 1 Jan 29, 2021, 00:50 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space Writing a LibGuide on open research, including open code. Mistyped "softer" instead of "software". Not really sure if I want to correct myself because, really, don't we need more softness and openness in research? 0 Jan 28, 2021, 22:19 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space auspol, neo-nazis Show more Well, this is scary, despite being predictable: https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/we-do-not-need-to-wait-for-a-christchurch-grampians-cross-burning-spurs-call-for-action-20210128-p56xer.html And of course: "This group and others are creating an echo chamber and incubator on the net, taking full advantage of their virtual audience to feed and amplify their vitriolic fantasies" The ABC's take also emphasises how this affects Indigenous Australians: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-28/anger-over-neo-nazis-chanting-camping-in-the-grampians/13097654 0 Jan 28, 2021, 20:30 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space So much love to the Feminist Library.

This was the cinema responsible for introducing me to The Princess Bride, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Muriel's Wedding, Ken Loach, Alain Delon, Thelma and Louise, and countless others. Don't think I would have made it through school without it. 53d36b78525083b3.jpg Show thread 1 Jan 19, 2021, 20:40 Gene @dzshuniper@ausglam.space The library art I ordered has arrived.
