weekend project in progress: taking all of the personal correspondence i’ve saved since around 2008 (around 300 pieces) and archiving them

i’m in library school but i’m more of a cataloging nerd than an archives gremlin, so this has been an interesting project! yesterday i tagged everything with its date, and today I’m adding everything to a spreadsheet with things like the date (as exact as possible), who it’s from, the occasion (e.g. birthday card, wedding invitation), if anything was included besides the letter/card, and more. later on, i’ll tag them more formally and put them in some kind of order

I had another four day weekend since Thanksgiving and Indigenous Heritage Day are paid holiday’s at the library.

I’ve spent the weekend rearranging my room to finally get natural light at my desk, and now I’ve made bubble tea. I’ve been enjoying taking time to learn how to lesson plan since I need it for one of my portfolio assignments.

Happy Pride Month!

In case you didn't know, I'm working toward a Master's in Library and Information Science, and that means researching the needs and information seeking behaviors of different communities. For this particular project, I decided to focus on the LGBTQIA2S+ and Queer community, and the problems they face when it comes to emerging, AI-based technologies like Automated Gender Recognition (AGR) and AI Gaydar.
