Couple of recent projects on my Brother KH965i knitting machine. 🧶

A woman stands near a window. She is wearing a dark purple knitted t-shirt.

A knitted shirt sits on a foam blocking board.

A cream colored knitted triangle shawl sits on a leather sofa.

A closeup of the shawl shows decreases on the front side and a half Milano edge on the back side.

Just me and Bob hanging out @csumb.bsky.social library.

A woman takes a selfie with a cardboard cutout of painter Bob Ross. Bob has a squirrel on his shoulder for reasons no one understands.

I have been stocking my library restroom w/ period supplies for years. No other bathroom at the marine station offered supplies, despite this being a common amenity on main campus. I kept asking. Proud to say that 5 (!) restrooms are now fully stocked & have adopted my "official" signage. 💯🦑🌊

The original Crustacean Menstruation Station in the Miller Library bathroom is a wicker basket with pads and tampons in it. There is a sign with an old crustacean biodiversity plate as background with the words "Crustacean Menstruation Station" on it.

A new Crustacean Menstruation Station features a white plastic basket fully stocked with tampons and pads and includes the same sign as in the original.

Another Crustacean Menstruation Station sitting on top of a paper towel dispenser in a single-stall restroom.

The anticipation of blocking! I’ll sew up the side seams of this boxy little thing tomorrow. ✨🧶

A boxy short-sleeve sweater-in-progress is laid out on blocking squares. It’s very dark purple with a boat neck opening.

An endangered Santa Rosa fox sits in the dry brush of Santa Rosa Island, which is now on fire :-(

This bums me out so much. The Channel Islands have species & subspecies that aren't found anywhere else. Santa Rosa is where the oldest dated human remains in North America were found and has huge cultural significance to the local Chumash. Looks like over a third of the island has already burned. 😔

the Watch Duty App shows the boundaries of Santa Rosa Island and where the fire has burned so far. The entire east side of the island has burned, almost 17,000 acres.

Here's Hadden (2nd from the back) with her staff on a trip to the coast in June, 1920. Were all early California librarians this hardcore? Was it part of the gig? Source: ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/c... 📚

In 1920, four women ride horses along a trail with coastal shrubs in the foreground.

Look at this absolute legend, Monterey County's first librarian, Anne Hadden (ca. 1916). She delivered books via donkey all over the area in the early 1900s. What a badass.

A woman sits on a donkey, with another donkey tethered behind them with packages tied on its back. She is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and wearing simple clothing.

What are the youths up to with page margins? Are 1-inch margins old-fashioned now? Asking for a friend.

In between rain showers, I got out for some tide pooling with @brookeweigel.bsky.social & her class. Left foot soaked, totally worth it. 🦑

View from the rocky intertidal out to Monterey Bay. It’s low tide and you can see exposed sea grass.

A beautifully striped lined chiton, probably Tonicella lokii, is attached to an overhang in the intertidal. A small purple urchin is right next to it.

A Pacific Rock Crab walks under some eelgrass. It’s light purple with black tips on its claws.

Three people survey a transect line in the intertidal. Two are crouched and looking at the rocks while one person stands and tells them the coordinates of their location.

Very pleased to share my first specimen, Megapanis gregjubyi. It was used on the bag of alfalfa for our guinea pigs. Standard pencil for scale - this is a large occlupanid!

A large bread clip is sitting next to a pencil (for scale) and a specimen label that indicates the Family, genus and species of this occlupanid.

Discovered in a shipment of laboratory gloves by field researcher C. Cody. Often such gloves would be shipped in a cardboard tube, but one shipment arrived swaddled in a large plastic bag with C. necopinus attached. It is surmised that this occlupanid escaped predation during its postal migration.

I just discovered HORG today - it's the absolute best thing I've seen in a long time. Moving forward, I'm not sure how I'll resist keying out all the Occlupanids I come across ... www.horg.com/horg/

This site contains ongoing research in the classification of occlupanids.

When it is this gorgeous outside, you will absolutely catch me eating lunch outside the library and soaking up a little sun.

A woman sits with her legs up on a bench and her back leaning on a post right outside the front doors of a library.

Listening to Data Rescue Project give the keynote at #RDAP26 and really enjoying it. Plus, this meme: Learn more about their work at www.datarescueproject.org

I was out test-driving cars yesterday and took this photo of my car sandwiched between these massive trucks. Absurd.

A row of parked vehicles on a dealer lot. All of them are massive trucks except for one Kia Niro EV. The roof of the Kia is at the same height as the hood of the trucks.
