listening to Wizard of Earthsea as I type an entire section of a French article on mining in World War II into DeepL because every time I try to OCR it for translation I get gobbledygook, this is fine

@jesse I could maybe ILL it, but the turnaround time will probably be slow relative to when I have to turn this thesis in (8 days from now lol)

there's an out of print book about an obscure company relevant to my thesis that cost $108 and I am so annoyed

sobriety, being a dweeb 

OMG WIlliam Gibson's sobriety date is MY BIRTHDAY wow

at the state of overwhelmed where I'm deep in the slog of doing work but not receiving validation for said work, which means that it's either time for me to give up entirely or take a little walk

This reads exactly like the list of people who liked a post that just says something like “Hands Holbein the Younger” or “we should respect that he took our advice and mackled less”. botsin.space/@ryanfb/109999045

More to come nearer the time; for now, sit back & wonder to yourself: Where is that plane going? How could I explain what electricity is, only using hand gestures?

thinking again about the time Mari misremembered the title and called it "Everything Too Much All The Time"

Including footnotes I cleared 15,000 words on my silly little thesis tonight!! Excluding them I am about 800 words away. I might be overdoing it with the footnotes.

@fka_tabs to be clear, I was making a joke about writers putting (on leave) in their twitter names unable to resist posting through it

buttondown.email/perfectsenten this week in sentences: a no-brainer, decorously abstract, spoken by sunlight, gravity and authority, the massive continuity of ducks
