@yehoak I was this close to being like "fuck it, I'll convert my thesis to LaTex" because that's the only other formatting option my university accepts

@TeamMidwest I like Ulysses a lot? Notion is also good and has a decent Zotero plugin. My main gripes with Word are the interface is by default overwhelming and I have to click too many things to make a footnote.

I haven't used Word in probably over a decade? This is maybe the worst word processing experience of my life, feel like it wasn't this annoying when I was a teenager

can't believe I have my period AND I have to use Microsoft Word today

@aparrish server farm lol

I want to know about the farm where my search engine chatbot was raised

except he called it "raster I/O" and not "rastair-ey-o" which is the name for people who want to pretend that it is a two-bit magician and not a python library

had a real dweeb moment this morning in my geospatial data science class where the instructor introduced rasterio and I almost went "hey I know contributors to that library!!"

"Wolfgang Schivelbusch" would be a great name for a pet chinchilla

can't believe nobody has bought this jacket since I posted it yesterday!!

thinking about poppets

Oh shit, Harlan Ellison did an audiobook of Through The Looking-Glass

started looking up other Harlan Ellison-read audiobooks and uhhhh he did Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea and a lot of the Discworld books, tracks

aw man I'm previewing the Rob Inglis audiobooks and he reads it soooooo seeeerious, boo

Finished the Harlan Ellison audiobook of Wizard of Earthsea and very sad to learn he didn't do the other books!!

good to remember that The Hold Steady still absolutely rules

current with-footnote count is 23,624 words. I need to write a conclusion (always my weak point lol) but I think it's close? gonna start revising the (mostly garbage) introduction tonight because I know it needs a lot of work and I think that will make writing a conclusion a bit clearer.

@meetar Peter it's probably too big for me but I bet it'll fit you
