I’ve previously shared highlights from my 2018 and 2019 reading. By the end of 2020, I was exhausted. So, while I had actually read quite a few books, I just made sure that I had a written log of them for my own reference and called it good. While I’m not necessarily feeling better now, I managed to pull together books from the two years. This isn’t a complete list. I’m sharing some highlights organized thematically.
A reading list of books on race, white supremacy, war, pacifism, and more.
What happened in the Society of American Archivists 2020 election and why we're disappointed.
Books on the anthropocene, race, white supremacy, nuclear war, pacifism, and more.
Sometimes I forget things that I have the power to do, whether nominating someone for an award, sending a kudos to their boss, complimenting their work in a public forum, etc.
I'm not quite yet ready to say goodbye to Twitter. It's been a part of my life since 2007, in some account or another. I've actively engaged with libarch Twitter since 2010 (although even in 2007, I was somewhat involved).
Mennonites don’t vote.
That’s what I heard growing up. Not that I was raised Mennonite, mind, but even before I knew enough of the beliefs that I knew I wanted to be one, I knew this one fact about them.
Of course, like any “fact” about Mennonites…it depends.
But it’s definitely a part of our history and our spiritual heritage. My husband says we’ve lost our way, but he still votes.
