I am a librarian, freelance writer, and artist. I co-authored the book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries (History Press 2023) and am a columnist for Computers in Libraries magazine. I geek old manual typewriters and Alaskan brown bears.
If you're looking for a fascinating nonfiction book that will make you neglect your household chores, I recommend The Yahoo Boys. After his mother was duped in a romance scam, the author traveled to Nigeria to get to know the men and boys who deceive Westerners online for a living. #Booksky 📚 💙
Over the moon with my groovy orange Olympia SF #typewriter- half-price day estate sale find! ♥️

Do I look phat from this angle? Yes, and marvelous. #Underwood5
New addition! 1924 Underwood 5 #typewriter gifted to me by the granddaughter of the original owner. He was a police officer who used it to type reports. 102 years old, and It still works!
My 1967 Greek keyboard Hermes Rocket #typewriter was missing its right platen knob. Public library to the rescue! I simply uploaded an open source design, and the #library 3D printed it for free.
A Little Free Library made from a repurposed dollhouse near Granby CT. #booksky 📚 💙
Read this book. The audio version is narrated by the author and is especially moving, as well as funny. Booksky 📚 💙
Part of my collection of Van Briggle pottery, MCM bookends, and, of course, books. Happy Sunday.
If a taco is a sandwich, is a stenograph machine a typewriter? I say yes!
My Remington Portable typewriter is featured in an Agatha Christie display at Great Falls Community Library. It's the same model she used for her early detective novels!

If you've ever fantasized about going off the grid, here is a novel about a man who walks out of his own life with nothing but a bicycle, a typewriter, and the cash left in his bank account. Guaranteed to be loaded with #typewriter geekiness! Booksky 💙 📚
