iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

TBF they have gotten me to broaden my perspective on what might make me THINK about thinking about loans and collateral and what may or may not be available (in the non-scam non-AI) market, should I ever, at some point in the next, idk, 1-30 years? consider if I might want a loan?

Aw, Donna! Just when I was about to call it a call free day!

Carla, lending department, and this is the message.
Here's what they were all trying to tell you. There's a personal loan sitting on your file, no collateral, no cosigner. Going as high as 70,000 with one fixed payment and an end date on it. That's it. That's the thing everyone's been chasing you about. I didn't bet because | like losing money on lunch. I bet because when people hear the actual terms, they call.
So call us now on this number. Let's really get this

It mostly makes me sad because these are choices women make to get approval from patriarchal structures that will throw them away the moment it’s convenient

We should come up with a “how not to lie and also keep your friends when you’re autistic” manual It would do well probably

There are genealogists who help you figure that out if you find your local chapter and say you’re interested! You want to avoid the “restoration” chapters—they’re the very conservative ones (someone plz correct me if I’m wrong lol) I joined with a group of friends & that way we had more influence

I played a video for my freshman that explained the neuroscience behind this, and how it can go awry in strokes, etc. It was so interesting!

Psychology fun fact - you also retain (and process) information better from print than reading off a screen. Physical books have just always been better.

25 years ago, I remember teaching whole lectures about, “y’all don’t THINK you could be Nazi’s, but so much of this rhetoric about illegal immigration is VERY close to Nazi rhetoric and no one seems very bothered!” Anyway, I somehow thought it was just a thought experiment, not something coming 😭

It was an old edition of a book about writing in the sciences. I have a couple! It’s not my favorite book, though. I kind of hate it tbh 😂

So it turns out that compared to centralized distribution of digital information on the web, printed material in libraries provided a kind of distributed defense against the casual whims of an authoritarian government aiming to rewrite history.

I work in higher Ed, and had a student tell me they don't trust digital copies, because they can be edited and censored remotely without you knowing. And they're so right! There's something to be said about the security of a printed text.

EXCITING NEWS After 15 years of never being able to sell a used textbook to the guy who comes by our offices, I just sold a TEN YEAR OLD BOOK because APPARENTLY no one trusts E-texts anymore and everyone is going analog again!! PRINT BOOKS ARE COMING BACK BABEE

I tried to make it more complicated by giving them a specific structure to use so they’d have to do it paragraph by paragraph, but I figured why not add this too 😂🤷‍♀️

A sign telling us to stop and not come in if we think we have measles and to instead call a measles hotline. Which apparently exists now! Cool!
