Musings of a librarian: August 2014
http://musingsoflibrarian.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Musings of a librarian. Depression and modern society are lying aholes. This is a post that I've been thinking about for a few days now and it's rough, raw, emotional and if you don't like it that's fine. I'm not writing it for you. I've combined two ideas into one, because it works for me. Some of the events: Robin Williams passing; Ferguson, MO; an ARC of Liz Prince's Tomboy. Erika Moen's comic " I want to live. 8212; Andy Shuping (@ashuping) August 17, 2014. I will make a comic about this. And soc...

Musings of a librarian: January 2015
http://musingsoflibrarian.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Musings of a librarian. At least a few times a year I look at the books and media and everything else that I own and have and think "Why do I have this? Do I use it? Do I watch it? And go about sorting and selling or giving it away. In the process of moving from GA to VT I went from a two bedroom apartment to a one bedroom and sold and gave a lot away. But lately I've begun feeling like maybe I still have too much stuff. A couple of weeks ago I read a book called " The Big Tiny: A Built-It-Myself Memoir.

Musings of a librarian. The river flows and the journey moves on. Via: https:/ www.flickr.com/photos/33488462@N04/3771091859/. And like the stream that forged its own path to get past obstacles, I'm doing the same. After 8 years at Mercer University, I will be leaving my position on August 21, 2014 and begin a new phase of career/life/journey. This fall I will begin the MFA in Applied Cartooning at the Center for Cartoon Studies. So what does that mean for this blog and my connection with libraries?

Musings of a librarian. You are not alone. Https:/ www.flickr.com/photos/kjcs/4922480879/. In recent months I've blogged about my depression and anxiety. My diagnosis as being on the Asperger's spectrum. I began seeing a counselor who has helped me more than they will ever know. I've taken medication that has helped. I've sought advice from friends, coworkers, and complete strangers some of which was helpful and some of which was not. I hurt people that I care about and they hurt me in return. If you'd l...

Musings of a librarian. Https:/ www.flickr.com/photos/57768341@N00/3558561251/. Lately I've been thinking a lot. About who I am, what I am, what is real, what isn't real, dreams, reality, dinosaurs, etc. etc.and I keep coming back to a few things. Lastly though I'm realizing that.normal isn't real. I wrote a post a while back about normal being bullshit. How is that something that we should all do? And we extend it to behaviors as well. "Its not normal to ask so many questions! Why can't we accept people...

Musings of a librarian: Time to bury the word Normal
http://musingsoflibrarian.blogspot.com/2015/02/time-to-bury-word-normal.html
Musings of a librarian. Time to bury the word Normal. Https:/ www.flickr.com/photos/36330824954@N01/3756538006/. You should cut your hair. You should wear nicer clothes. Those are toys for girls, you should play with toys for boys. Don't you want to fit in? Don't you want to have friends? Don't you want to be NORMAL? It's a word that we all use. One single word. Just one. But what a horrible and deadly word it is. How many times have you wished you could be NORMAL like a friend of yours? So what do we do?
