F yeah Bob Mould!!! Now I feel like I'm alive. #merge25

Once again—always & ever thus—an archivist saves our asses. Saints on earth. Consistently the most informed, professional ppl we encounter.

I can't get enough of Brenda Shaughnessy. #deadline #schmeadline

We have reached the hide-under-the-bed-and-read-poetry stage of #deadline, an improvement on the F-it-let's-watch-Beyonce-videos stage.
