I don't want to come across as a smug "why are you shocked" guy and also I am still having a hard time with "oh no must protect democracy in the apartheid enforcing ethno-state"

https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-13/ this week in sentences: metallurgy, as new as tomorrow, the missiles may have always already been launched, more ancient, glittering electrons like cocaine

31,343 words total including footnotes

Final count was like 30,000 ish words

it's OK there's some time for revisions before it goes to the university

I'm so tired

I did it, I turned in my thesis to my committee today please clap

think I'm gonna get a tattoo of a cool rock next week to celebrate finishing my thesis, where do we get tattoos in Brooklyn these days

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

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
