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

Everytime I watch a mission impossible I'm struck by how much the core thesis is this

Are you ever typing something that your phone autocapitalizes and you go back and re-type it just to force uncapitalize it. Like no sorry mcdonalds doesn’t deserve that level of respect from me

these middle schoolers are touring campus and one of them walked by me and said “hey what’s college life like” and i told him “it sucks” and he said “well it can’t be any worse than middle school.” he’s right

"Guys!" I say as I talk to myself alone in my room at 3 am

"Chat" I say as I am once again talking to myself around 4 am

"STFU!!" I say, talking to myself

"You guys just don't understand" I say to myself as there's clearly no one else in the room

"I'm not stupid, you are" I say to no one but myself

"I'm done talking to you!!" I claim, once more talking to myself "Fine then!!" I reply, still talking to myself

(Real things that have happened, is it obvious I talk to myself a lot?)

I used to have those glow-in-the-dark stars in my bedroom, and honestly part of me is thinking of bringing them back so I can see where the light switch or door is in the dark. 😆
