Intro: Hello! I’m a librarian and journalist who has also spent time with demographers, Wikipedia, and 18F. I care about hyperlocal information ecosystems, new models of information sharing, the South, digital archiving practices, hound dogs, and walking in the woods without headphones.

note passed to me during workday

6th grade career ambitions turned out to be spot on

first day of school was “great, awesome, marvelous” according to a new first grader.

BBQ

Heading to the Asheville Pinball Museum.

Just listened to a 10 minute story involving line leader and door holder malfeasance in the first grade.

“Mom when you’re writing a check is it your money out of the bank or just money coming out of the bank?”

I would like a 10,000 word piece on the people who live a few blocks from me who have a greenhouse that only contains light-up palm trees.

evening walk

trying to visit every state park in north carolina.

Have started listening to audiobooks and it’s quite nice. Currently listening to Daisy Jones and the Six.

I was called the most boring person in the world this morning by one of my children and you know what, I’m pretty proud of that designation.
