Boo. I had it dawn on me yesterday that the 15yo probably needs non-standard width. I’ll give you one guess how many local retailers I’ve found that even have “width” as a filtering criterium in their online shops.

I read this about a year ago and the anti-FDR stuff in particular gave me massive déjà vu to the present-day brokenness of politics.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Teenage new-driver ignorance leading me to take a sharp curve in the road at the speed limit with cruise control on. It taught me that if you are going to total dad’s new car, do it so spectacularly that he’s just glad you’re alive

I worry more that there wouldn’t be a revolution, anymore, if they started doing this.

Given that many conferences want full papers submitted (and I’m increasingly inclined to think this is the way to go for DH too), I don’t think “avoiding spoilers” needs to be a consideration though. You should spell out all the conclusions.

Tara A @byzantini.st · 28/02/2026

Still, whoever wrote that has certainly set a new bar for arrogant and patronizing assumptions!

Tara A @byzantini.st · 28/02/2026

That’s astonishing. (But I’d be careful about assuming the reviewer who said that was native Anglophone without further evidence…)

A meal almost but not entirely unlike Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t decide whether to brave my substitute for cranberry sauce.

A plate containing sautéed turkey breast, roasted sweet potato with cubes, and vegetable Semmelknödel. An unopened jar of cranberry / blueberry compote is next to the plate.

The first thing I had to write in uni that was longer than 10 pages was the bachelor’s thesis, and that got more structured supervision.

Tara A @byzantini.st · 09/10/2025

By my senior year I had worked out that I could produce about one page per hour for any writing assignment, and then it became impossible to make myself start more than N hours before the deadline. This was, as you say, unhelpful for grad school.

Time was, you contributed to an edited collection or resource and got a free copy of the thing. Now you get three months of free access to the online version. Somehow it's just not the same...

I managed to get all the way to this many years old before having to go through my prose and murder Oxford commas to conform to a stylesheet. It hurts.

Yep I had to learn all about that in one of my CS classes in the 90s!

Possibly the biggest roadblock to my uptake of #AI assistants is the fact that I have always been terrible at delegating.
