rowmyboat / is on Nostr

Different hellsite, same old rowmyboat. I’ve got a cute cat, a union card, ten bicycles, zero cars, and a house from the 1890s. #LibraryLife occasionally veers into hard left politics, bike bullshit, boat bullshit, and weirdlife personal tales.

@npub1l3z…4dy5 close cousins — I’m a systems librarian at a R1. I yell about software a lot, especially things like FOSS, interoperability, privacy, UX, and how capitalism ruins everything.

I’m revisiting the greatest hits of early 21st century rad librarianship for an article I #AmWriting. Reading about the collective youths of comrades like @npub13vv…0sze & @npub1hw5…e5pa is sending me down memory lane, and thank you everyone for maintaining your 20yo web presences so I can use them as primary sources.
