  1. "Waddling pyramid you go,
    Flounces flouncing in the snow;
    Pretty lady do not rage,
    When I say you're in a cage,
    By a lot of hoops secured—
    Of it, I am well assured.
    Head, of course, is left outside,
    Bonnet on your back doth ride;
    Sweep away the sidewalks clean,
    Of street sweepers, you're the queen."

    Yasss street sweeper queen!

    Found this in an old scrapbook on eBay and it's already the best thing that'll happen to me all day.

  5. Why digital government #records are so hard to preserve | History depends on records that weren’t built to last

    Chat apps, e-mail, and cloud files have become the primary record of how power is exercised. #Archivists are trying to preserve them before formats go dark or messages disappear without a trace
    The #NationalArchives added 463 terabytes of #electronicrecords to its permanent collection in 2024 alone

  18. Washington Blade: Fighting ‘Rainbow Panic’ in museums. “Please know the LGBTQ community will remember the hard truths we learned this past year — that we and our histories were expendable. If we can be cast aside, hidden, or disowned, whose histories are safe? How can (and can we) rebuild trust in the institutions that failed us this past year?”

  33. Hey #archivists: #LostCanadians have made you all heroes in #Canada. I have seen at least 5 articles recently with various keepers of history.

    It is really life-changing (and sometimes life-saving) work for us right now. Thank you from the bottom of our maple-flavored hearts. 🍁❤️‍🩹
