DON'T FORGET!!!

50 is a rough page estimate. The accurate length is 15,883 words.

If you want to visualize and compare it, I've graphed the length of each entry and given some other entry stats in another post linked here.

Google says it takes approximately 5 minutes to read 1000 words, so plan accordingly!

geordi was so fuckin real for casting himself as watson like his idea for a perfect evening was to book out the holodeck and acquire period appropriate outfits just so he could listen to data infodump at length

"we have time for me to be your watson" <- worlds greatest Autism Flirtation

#fred says a thing #star trek #daforge #and he got MAD when data was just solving puzzles he remembered from the books like 'NO i know youre EVEN SMARTER THAN THAT'

Where is All The Book Data?

Where is All The Book Data?

Culture industries increasingly use our data to sell us their products. It’s time to use their data to study them. To that end, we created the Post45 Data Collective, an open access site that peer reviews and publishes literary and cultural data. This a partnership between the Data Collective and Public Books, a series called Hacking the Culture Industries, brings you data-driven essays that…

[image id: several drawings of Data from Star Trek TNG.

top left panel: Lore hands Data a gift and says, "happy *birthday*, I guess." Data replies, "thank you, broth-" Lore interrupts him: "just take it."

top right panel 1: a front view of a yellow book. Data is holding it in his hands. the text on the cover reads, in all caps, "meow: the book is for your cat only. written in own language."

top right panel 2: Data has now opened the book. the text reads the word "meow" over and over.

bottom right panel: Data from the chest up, reading the book. he says, "quite humorous indeed."

bottom left: Data lying on his side, holding the open book in front of Spot, who is sitting next to him. there are three question marks above her head. Data says, "look Spot. it is written in your language."

the peril of reading old scifi/fantasy is i’m left trying to navigate author websites that were clearly hand coded in html 20 years ago and haven’t been updated since when i just want a nice neat list of all their books that they somehow don’t seem to have 😭

#out of date and broken links and truly horrendous font and color choices they’ve got it all #goodreads can’t even save me because some have written too many books while others are obscure enough goodreads doesn’t have all the data #using my goodreads librarian status for once to save others from scrounging around like i am #mine

i knwo im sleep deprived as hell because i just had a sudden conviction to invent a distinction between smps-in-videos and smps-as-played-by-real-people a la c! and cc! distinction. i think if we are going to keep using c! and cc! we should also do the same to our entire concept of "the server"

#peter posts #my pinned post contains 'and this is NOT a manic state' for areason. #like it's literally like how books don't exist. i mean to say that there is no such thing as A book unless it is instantiated #and a server is a text in the way that all geography is a text (the most instantiated of texts) esp when inclusive of accumulative time #therefore. we really ought to stop considering “servers” as existing accessible to fans when speaking of it any context outside the actual #copies accessible through the specific data - but nobody in fandom ever means 'the server' in that sense. bc that is not EVER #a relevant instantiation of the text. am i making sense. i assume not

i saw the kindle app has begun tracking how long you read and giving you little prizes the more you do it, and imo what a way to suck all joy and soul out of books

#“you know what will make reading better” #“being TIMED” #reading as escapism is over - reading as quantifiable data is IN #I love knowing how many books I read but that's about it

I saw your DD graph asking for other ideas, so... if you still have any desire to do further Dracula graphs I'd be curious to see how the word count per character breaks down (not how much they speak but how much they write. Adding all their diary entries together, etc.). Obviously Mina wins by default from having typed up the whole novel but outside of that detail, how much did each person author?

Thank you so much for this ask! What an interesting data set this one is! Lots of unexpected information.

So first off, if you just want to visualize the author breakdown, ta-dahhhh!

Seward was staunchly in the lead, talking his head off and burning through those wax recording drums like no ones business. Poor Mina for having to transcribe it all. In total his words made up 39.3% of Dracula. Nearly 40%!

Seward unsurprisingly had the most individual entries overall at 47, and had the longest streak for being the narrator in an entry at 10 days (09/02 - 09/11) with Mina following right behind at 9 days (08/10 - 08/19)

Mina surprisingly was 3rd overall both in word count and number of entries. She wasn't even in the top 3 for most words in a day which is as follows.

1 - Seward October 3rd - 9942 words

2 - Seward September 29th - 7206 words

3 - Jonathan October 3rd - 5944 words

Van Helsing only had 9 entries total but still came in number 4 for word count, in front of Lucy. It's interesting to note that the amount a person writes doesn't correlate to the amount of time they are being written about/appear. Which is why Arthur and Quincey don't even beat out the newspaper clippings for words, lol.

There are lots of authors we only hear from a single time, like Sister Agatha. So I've decided to make a small fry pie as well. (Authors under ~500 words)

The captain of the Demeter and Van Helsing both had more days written than Lucy! Though I didn't break up number of entries, like when the log of the Demeter had 3 or 4 on one day or Lucy wrote a letter and in her diary.

If there is any data I haven't presented here that you're interested in feel free to tag me or shoot me an ask like this lovely person did!

"For both bonobos and chimpanzees, the bodies of the dead evoke many emotions. Even if the process often begins with trauma and confusion, typically corpses shift to a liminal status; not alive, but equally not a lump of meat. They're more intensively manipulated than hunted animals, and carried for longer. In some – if not all – cases, the eaters must know what and who they're consuming. Cannibalism is very probably a powerful means by which individuals and groups process the impact not only of killings carried out on emotional impulses, but other deaths too. In other words, it's about grieving. [...] "Shift these scenarios to Neanderthals, and add into the mix their far greater cognitive sophistication, and lives that revolved around using lithics. Suddenly it's not difficult to envision how skills in carefully taking apart hunted carcasses might be transposed into a grieving process that involved butchery and cannibalism as acts of intimacy, not violation."

#quotes #rebecca wragg sykes #kindred: neanderthal life love death and art #what could be a better way to start off this new year than #💛💛💛 cannibalism 💛💛💛 #& 💖💖💖 grief 💖💖💖 #this book is excellent btw if you're interested at all in neanderthals i HIGHLY recommend it #it is dense with data but the author takes care to write about it in an accessible way #& with a sense of profound wonder that suffuses everything #like even if you don't read through the whole thing i encourage picking up a copy just to peruse the little creative writing vignettes #at the top of each chapter

anyone else getting nervous about the lack of info about the book 10 title?

#she ALWAYS GIVES US A DAY'S WARNING #and she ALWAYS ANNOUNCES IT ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY #so if she was planning to announce it this week she would've said something by now #right? #and in the past when she's gone past feb 1 without announcing the title it's because there isn't a normal book coming out #unlocked/the graphic novel/no book #this book has already been delayed a year so i don't think she'd delay it again but she DID just have a new baby #maybe she'll do the book of short stories that she's mentioned wanting to do? #i'm extrapolating based on extremely limited data though #so there's no reason for me to be coming to any conclusions #but i'm the king of overthinking
