Perhaps police departments should be mostly staffed by part-timers. This way everyone also has a different normal job and thus are part of the community. In this way, the police are less likely to develop their own unique values different from the community. And thus, the state enforcing unpopular laws becomes more difficult (moreover since everyone has a second job, they can more easily just quit if they don't like what they are ordered to do). And with all the people it is harder to develop a culture of corruption. Perhaps, it could be a two weeks out of the year thing, if that works nicer with people's schedule. We want as many people to be policemen as possible (in fact, for police jobs that don't require physical stress, we should abolish any health requirements). Maybe, police work should be part of the gig economy. We need more good paying gig economy style jobs. Imagine the delight in giving the person who arrested you a low rating on the app afterwards.

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"
