I took this photo a few years ago at the March for Women’s Lives in Washington DC. Over a million people showed up. It got almost no press coverage, but those of us who went will never forget it.
I was lucky enough to run into this fellow librarian from Los Angeles.
We are everywhere. We are legion!

10:40pm and I’m still at work.
Science Magazine is publishing a blurb about our library of animal sounds on Thursday. We got an award for second-best “educational interactive”. Yay.
Unfortunately, this means that a huge group of people are going to visit our site.
And our site was, up to a few weeks ago, still half-baked. We’ve got one of those higher education software teams, consisting of five underpaid geeks and a couple of CS students. Ebay, we are not.
These last few weeks have been a blur. Everyone on my team is pulling dot com hours, working for twelve hours on Sundays, and generally being foolish with work-life balance.
Tonight we ate dinner at the mall food court.
The weird part is, I love this.
I love the focus.
I love the commiseration.
I love the feeling of doing something good for the world that I get working at a nonprofit.
But right now, I would really love a beer and some sleep.
Goodnight, all.
My friend Alexandra was on Gothamist the other day holding this huge pickle.
Her archivist colleagues are all so proud. Finally, an Archivist Poster Girl!
