Firstly, you pass buskers in the subway every day, many of them are very skilled, but you pass them because you have places to be. The subway is for getting from A to B and that's pretty much it outside of a few outliers. It is the most normal thing to pass a busker by without looking twice.

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."

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Slide 5: Authors and librarians need YOU. Even just one person speaking up in support of a book or an author can sway opinion at a school board meeting. Book banners win when the rest of us are silent. Don't stay silent. This Banned Books Week, make plans to call your reps, keep track of book-banning attempts in your community, and research the candidates for your local school board elections. Together, we can make a difference.

I got out of the 1st class early because we were also at an alternative location. It was nice because we stopped to get a slice of pizza and then ran into the classmate who takes the train who also got a slice. It turned out to be such a nice day!

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.

The whole project is pretty cool. It's nice to be helping out a volunteer run organization get their media digitized. And a prime example of getting more out of an in-person program. The annoying commute is worth it.

More interesting was the portion of the show where they were taking phone calls. They would hang up on men who called in like "This is a lesbian talk show, we only talk to women." Also so many "Turn your radio down, we're getting double audio." "Oh! Sorry."

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.

Oh wait, I thought you were asking about the second half of my post! The doctor who I was referring to in the first half is a psychiatrist and it was during a "getting to know you" appointment.

Yes, but it was an OBGYN who asked after I told her that at 34 I'd never had sex, and I did not want to in the future. If any doctor were to ask, I think it would be that kind. (Also, very cute bee!)

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 went from "Come see musical!" to "Please open a bank account!" Sorry advertisers, I just have professors who like field trips. Ordering from the same restaurant on [Redacted]St for weeks on end probably adds to targeted ads as well.

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 first doctor's note is good until the 12th and luckily I was able to get an appointment for an orthopedic doctor tomorrow, but it's cutting it close. I would have been so upset if I couldn't get one sooner and I had to tell me job I didn't have a note and couldn't get one until god knows when.

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!?

I'll kinda forgive people for not being able to spot the mile wide stylistic difference because they don't have a trained eye, but the only thing those two share is the fact that they are both goddesses. (You get a quarter of a pass for comparing her to Hecate, but only a quarter.)

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.
