I’ve definitely made clear over the years my love and appreciation for libraries and how librarians are clearly magicians in disguise. Libraries have given me decades of adventures at the tips of my fingers. First, the GIANT (though I didn’t know what I had when I lived there) library of my childhood. Then, the tinyContinue reading “The Archives”

Wisconsin Pride
A few months back, I had the opportunity to attend the launching of UW-Green Bay’s digital archive – Our Voices, a series of LGBT+ narratives from Northeast Wisconsin. In tandem, there was a screening of Wisconsin PBS’s documentary WI Pride, currently a two-part series. Now, as someone that has lived in WI for most ofContinue reading “Wisconsin Pride”

Last night, I attended a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Big Bopper at the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay, WI. This was not an event that would have probably caught my attention, despite my love for all things live music.

In some cases, though, the internet fails, and we can’t find what we’re looking for, no matter how many rabbit holes we check. When that happens, we get to take field tripsContinue reading “Writing Field Trip”
Research Rabbit Hole
I really love doing research for a project. I love learning random facts and exploring places and meeting people – even if it’s only via the internet. I definitely would not have been as productive with my writing during this quarantine if not for the internet. Well, the internet and my training on how toContinue reading “Research Rabbit Hole”
