I don't think I'll ever get over seeing an article that was like "No one stopped to listen to Violinist who sold out Carnegie Hall in the subway." I need you to understand, this is exactly like saying "No one stopped to listen to Violinist who sold out Carnegie Hall on the highway."

This was Monday and it turned out to not be bad. I have two classmates in my 1st class who are also in my 2nd class so we all traveled together, and a classmate in my 2nd who also takes the train home. Both ways I had guides to chat with and get me to my destination fairly quick.

I was listening in on a cassette tape I was digitizing for class and thinking "Why does the name of this lady they are talking about sound so familiar?" Turns out it was the homophobic orange juice woman who got pied in the face on TV.

I'm going to miss being an LIS/archival science student. My classes get me into so many cool places that are very hard if not impossible to get into. I went to an archive yesterday that was also the preservation of a home almost exactly how it was left when the artist died.

I take a totally hardline political stance which is that anyone who makes a phone call in the quiet coach of the train should be fined £500 on the spot for the first offence. And for the second offence? Death.

It's always awkward when a new doctor asks me about my romantic life/gender preference. I'm always like "Uh no, I'm not interested in that. Just not for me." Because like, a lot of queer people barely acknowledge aroace people exist, I don't even expect possible straight people to know what that is.

I'm being asked to do math publicly and I would really rather not. Especially because other classmates are giving different answers. We are basing our answers on different maximums, so it makes sense I am giving a different answer, but makes me nervous because they are all assuming the same number.

This is about Shiga toxin producing E.coli in sprouts. Shiga toxins are bad news and in worst case can lead to kidney failure. Also ood safety experts will tell you that sprouts are among the riskiest foods for bacterial contamination. So be smart. These days it's consumer beware daily.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

It seems I've fully confused advertisers as far as my location goes. Sometimes I have local ads, but since most of the time I open google maps it's to look for stuff in the city I often get ads for residents. Which is a change from the beginning where I used to get ads for visitors.

The nonsense continues! I went back to the clinic where I went for my broken toe asking about a doctor's note to clear me for work, they were like "You need to go to a specialist, I can't clear you." Why didn't the first doctor tell me that!?

If there's one thing that pisses me off regarding ancient art, it's when people use depictions of gods/goddesses interchangeably. I just saw a relief of Ereshkigal labeled as Aphrodite. That's the wrong culture of origin, the wrong geographic location, and the wrong religion.
