The beauty of the House is immeasurable, its Kindness infinite.

Had a frustrating day yesterday, but sitting down to cut and paste pictures from Smithsonian magazines into a collage inspired by Piranesi by Susanna Clarke made me feel better.

my main requirement in a partner is someone who's willing to "yes, and" me. if i say something completely insane i need them to just pick that up and run with it and commit to the bit until we wind up with a conversation that's funny to us but completely incoherent to everyone within earshot. actually now that i'm typing this out i've realised my ideal relationship might just be "shitty improv comedy duo"

TERRIBLE YELLOW COUCH ACQUIRED

"are you picking up what I'm putting down" brother I am hefting that shit above my head with gusto

Tldr I am not a reference librarian and even a reference librarian WOULD NOT DO THE RESEARCH FOR YOU

[soldier-poet-king]

Yes I am extremely pedantic and petty and only moreso when my inhibitions are erased. This is why I always play dnd wizards. It's incurable I'm sorry. Unfortunate but true facts about yours truly

I need my work email on my phone bc if I'm not at my desk but in the archival storage I need to still get the notifs but I am too tired and tipsy to figure out how to set notifs for just certain hours (can you do that?? I want my personal email but not my work on the weekends?) BC if this guy is gonna keep annoying me ON. THE WEEKEND???? SIR.

[soldier-poet-king]

WHY are there researchers emailing me late on a Friday night I am A LITTLE DRUNK and also the fuckin archival policy is on the WEBBED SITE you can't send me a three thousand long list of questions!!!!Archivists can help with brief research requests!!! But I do not have time to devote days to this!!! we would be happy to host you or a designate in the reading and I can prep and pull all the relevant boxes for you.your phone area code indicates that you ARE in the same geographic region. but ME doing all the research ??? Literal DAYS of work??? IM NOT GOOGLE. THATS NOT HOW AN ARCHIVE WORKS

I have a JOB that ISNT answering your questions. In fact that is a very SMALL part of my job. I LIKE helping researchers with requests, but mostly that's finding items and understanding the contextual bonds of records, not sifting thru all the gd documents FOR you

HELLO??????

[soldier-poet-king]

I talk a lot of big idealist shit but when it comes to my ideals actually being tested and needing to espouse a controversial opinion publicly in order to back my ideals??? And not just doing little Goods on the side where nobody can trace it back to me??

Oh boy. I KNOW it's smthn in actively working on and I KNOW it's less about the strength of my convictions and more about working myself out of the fearful of parent headspace where i am constantly checking myself and being as pleasant as possible to give myself the illusion of safety. And that like. Politics. Doesn't work like my parents

BUT STILL
