My casino has new top-of-the-line technology to stop heists: a montage detector. If those bastards want to break in and steal my money, they’re doing it as part of one, long take

i think it's cognitively harmful for younger teens to never read deranged and wildly inappropriate noncon yaoi scanlations. or vampire knight. either is fine because both are neuroprotective and supportive of cognitive plasticity. in my experience.

i just pointed out in my judaism class that it’s interesting to me that when asked God’s name, God did respond with the ineffable name (the tetragrammaton) but put a much greater emphasis on who they are the God OF (I’m the God of Abraham, the God of Moses, etc.).

and my teacher said she feels a kinship with that because she remembers the joy that came with the first time she was called “(son’s name)’s mom”, and how beautiful it feels be named for who you love. and i almost burst into tears

This one time it took me two days, two librarians, and a friend with a PhD in the subject area to find a study that was cited incorrectly in a government document (not my agency! Different agency!).

Extra difficult because it was during Covid and so could not go to The Stacks even once I identified what book it was probably in (because it was only in medical libraries and, well. Those were closed to the public.) The librarian was like yeah without page numbers I am not pulling a several-hundred-page book to rifle through it to find the article. And normally you could come in and do that, but, um, pandemic says no.

Anyway good citations are wonderful and lovely.

me when i have to put proper citations: ugh this is so annoying who even cares what i do in the footnotes

me when i can't find a source because it hasn't been quoted correctly: i am going to track down the authors and they will answer to me. i will find out who caused this suffering. there will be blood.

"Autism is only a disability under capitalism."

I mean, it's definitely made worse, yeah.

But I had a meltdown yesterday because the wind was too loud when I was tired.

So I have insomnia tonight and am thinking about The Pitt bc I finished watching it earlier today and oh my word y'all. I have never worked in direct healthcare but I work in health law and also have worked at Super Large Event things where it's like ok we're doing a 16-hour day of pure chaos and we are organizing the chaos. The show did super great with that, and how people change over the course of the day, hair coming out of ponytails, etc.

Except. The rats.

The rats were clearly supposed to be wild rats per the story BUT they stroll in every time like Marlene Dietrich, just, absolutely glamorous, know their best camera angles, they are getting treats for this and they are going to WERK. Shiny fur. No schmutz from the various messes. No injuries from a life on the streets. Just pure glamor. Very good rat actors. Ractors.

Also Whitaker deadpanning "the patient was positive for rats" was just absolutely golden.

Concept: formalwear for wizards in the mode of 17th Century continental European court fashion, except instead of powdered horsehair wigs it involves elaborately curled and pomaded false beards. The best quality ones are fastened to a shoulder harness because the neck can't take the weight.

I’m slowly beginning to accept the reality that 2007 was not last year but in fact almost four years ago

Oh y'all putting that in the fridge?

I'm eating. Bad news? Eat my feelings. Good news? Eat to celebrate. No news? Routine meals and snacks, bay-bee!

people in books and tv shows are always getting so upset they throw an untouched meal in the trash. that would never be me. i'd receive the worst news of my life and still be like Let me put this in the fridge.

Curse of vladimir putin's large collection of porn themed around thieves and the black blood.

That is an oddly specific curse.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)
