A deadline, personal stuff, childcare, classes, health...so many things are more important than the research question.

There are not that many Indigenous librarians and for years, I admired the the work she was doing in Thunder Bay to make the library more welcoming and encourage them to hear what people need. https://www.blakefuneralchapel.com/obituaries/obituary-listings?obId=3733722619 Feb 2025 19:38 +0000at://did:plc:lbwdvs74num2z6dginzhaotf/app.bsky.feed.post/3likjndjdz223https://bsky.app/profile/jmloyer.bsky.social/post/3lgtceugdgk2cThis talk was such a tour de force.
