Thursday at MPOW, I attended an afternoon of staged readings of one-act plays by Alice Childress. Open to the public, and standing room only, the readings were done in collaboration with the New Federal Theatre. Attendees reacted strongly to the actors, fearless and authentic in their roles. #NYC

not sure what's more uncanny: that mary worth has stayed basically exactly the same person for 20 years, or that rex morgan abrupty became a different person about 10 years ago bsky.app/profile/mpow...
Do you even *know* what website you work on bro? 😉

Hi... this was me a lot of this past week!
Though layoffs at MPOW, organizational drama, and being short on sleep didn't help things either...

Tonight, MPOW is honoring the "14th Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden with the Inaugural Jean Blackwell Hutson Award." As you know, Dr. Hayden was pushed out of her position earlier this year; her term would've ended next year. www.nypl.org/blog/2025/08... #libraries #BlackWomen #BlackHistory

MPOW is planning on a bathroom reno in my building, mostly to add more capacity (4 single stall bathrooms on the main floor of a high-use building is...not enough), but I was pleasantly surprised that the initial plans are that style of all gender restroom.

Cutting staff members (and by extension faculty) to save money hurts us in the long run. And we're seeing the results. We're seeing similar things at MPOW.
Before COVID my uni had a robust staff population, knowledgeable colleagues who kept the uni’s administration ticking. The shock doctrine of imposed austerity the pandemic alibied means we now have dysfunctional online systems where competent humans were & infinite deputy deans mandating we use them

According to some DOI analysis that I'm doing, someone at MPOW has published over 200 'journal articles' that have a CrossRef DOI. This is year to date!

So an older gentleman who works the deli counter at the century-old grocery, Vincent's Market, near MPOW always says "Here's comes trouble" and "Step aWAY from the fruit" when I am there buying healthy snacks for our students. He stopped into the bike shop yesterday and gave me a box of chocolates!

I remember trying out some ANC headphones from MPow, specifically the Mpow H19 IPO. It was concerning always making sure to have power for the ANC to work, but they were effective anyways even as normal plug-in headphones.

Timely now as we are hiring at MPOW. No, not one of them so far has given this honest answer.

You want warms my heart almost as much as MPOW building more housing? An aggressive timeline to hire our next University Librarian! The Committee is struck, the search consultant is in place, the webpage is up. It's taken 3 years and turnover in uni leadership but it's so close I can taste it...

As an AAUP officer at MPOW, an Emporia alum, and a sixth gen Kansan, thanks for this. Truly, what a cluster. 😕

Anyone technical here?
I recently bought some JVC HA-S36W wireless headphones. Now they connect to my phone okay but I want to connect to my Sony stereo system. I have some older Buffalo Soldier headphones that connect but I have to use an MPow wireless receiver transmitter to play them through.

Potential answers:
a) theses were simply not a thing at MPOW in 1895! It took them a lil bit to figure out how they wanted to tackle this graduate degree business!
b) the library was not ensuring they received copies of theses in 1895! it took them a lil bit to figure out this archiving business!
