What is an index, and why is it important? An index is a map; it makes the information in books accessible to readers. It gives a sense of the coverage of the book, and whether it contains the information you need. And you can go back after reading to find what you want #IndexDay buff.ly/LMIHOqs
So who are the indexers? We come from a wide variety of backgrounds and bring our professional experience and subject area knowledge to our indexing work. You can read about some of our members’ indexer origin stories in our blog post #IndexDay

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

It has been a long time since I’ve wanted to see a show as badly as I want to see Orville Peck as the Emcee in Cabaret.
