Upon the precipice of fateful choice, Where past, present, and future intertwine, A decision made shall alter time's course. No crystal ball can predict the outcome, In this dance with destiny, we entwine.

me sending yet another email to a French public service to ask them why they use so many gratuitous English words in a service that's supposed to be non-discriminatory and accessible to everyone in the country

#this time it's about the paris library network which offers new book suggestions every month #and so many of the category titles are in english..... why? all the books are in french #'cosy mystery' 'space opera' 'road trips' 'climate fiction' < all of these were in english #i don't care how widespread some of these phrases are; you are public libraries and the public speaks french #do you really want to discourage people who don't read in english from clicking the links to check out the books?#why are you doing this. i am throwing virtual tomatoes at you #a lot of older people are confused or intimidated by this deluge of english loanwords. fuck them i guess?#and yes i picked napoléon in waterloo because i know this is a losing battle #même à la fnac on voit des intitulés de rayon en anglais alors que le rayon ne contient que des livres français...

▶ Wilding

One of the most common "rituals" in the nomad community is called (by the anti-nomad media) "wilding". Wilding is when a group of nomads, usually all youths, venture into static society to "see what it's all about." It is a fairly new occurence in the nomad community, but has gained an increasing interest among the youth. Despite the name and media portrayal, most wildings are peaceful and boring. ━ NeoTribes, page 21

Coffee With A Codex is an informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn’s collections. Each week we’ll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend. Events are on Thursdays at 12pm Noon EST / 5pm GMT.

On January 18, Curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 1233, a breviary for use in the diocese of Cologne, probably in the Kölner Dom (cathedral). Made in the 15th century, it was used, annotated, and repaired through to the end of the 18th century.

Register to attend.

Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.

See the full schedule for Coffee with a Codex.

Join our mailing list for weekly updates.

Past CWAC events are available on YouTube.

Hope to see you there!!

"Rachel is the compatible character that's written in relationships with Taylor the least despite their canon interactions even in fics about Taylor x many girls because she's butch and not conventionally pretty so people are superficial and ignore her" send post like throwing a rock at a crowd

#half joking #but also not really #because this is an actual phenomenon #virtually everyone in the fandom with a brain agrees that they have some of the most chemistry in the book #and their interactions are some of the most romantic #yet they're never fucking written together?#like you can count the number of multichapter wolfspider fics that have been published since Worm started in two hands #(and I have written two of those)#which compared to like smugbug and pillbug is #nothing #like it's nothing #write more wolfspider please #I'm on my knees begging you #parahumans #rachel lindt #taylor hebert

older Snape fans, what are your oldest works like?

i’m curious 🤭

found the old display book where i stored my second (and longest)(and unfinished) fanfic and i’ll have you know the highlight was Severus stabbing a dragon in the throat with a poisoned dagger to save Hogwarts, in front of everyone 🙌🏻

he was able to jump on the dragon because he had ✨angel wings✨ black covered in ebony feathers, of course 🖤

and every chapter had deep poetic introductory quotes bc i was a dramatic teenager.

#the whole thing is an emo cringe fest #after that feat he has to go into hiding bc he has thwarted the dark lord’s plans #the wings were already a consequence of a malediction by Voldie + following suicide attempt 🤷🏻‍♀️#(the fic was set right after the end of the 4th book)#and the only place he can hide is remus’ house where sirius is already hiding #no snirius tho they hate each other #and the geography of magic teacher is already after him #i was already drawing him like a girl haha #found a drawing from 2010 yesterday and thought wow i haven’t progressed at all that’s what happens when you never practice #but looking at those it seems i *did* progress between 2003 and 2010 #also we had to spend hours in the library checking encylopaedias and stuff about plants #because the internet was virtually inexistent in boarding school D:#severus snape #pro snape #snape fanfiction #snape community #my art #old art

my augmented reality community garden again - outside in the sunlight this time ☀

the idea for this one is to show how AR glasses could be used in future classrooms - with children exploring virtual gardens together and learning about plants via facts hidden in their roots. 🌻

#art #digital art #artists on tumblr #ar #augmented reality #figmin xr #3d art #vr #virtual reality #this kind of work is my absolute favorite to do #imagine classrooms with more movement.... less staring at books/desks/boards #children are natural scientists and learning machines but they need to EXPLORE #and our current education system isn't giving them nearly enough of that #because field trips and gardens and hands-on activities are expensive #but if it could all be made out of light........ someday someday someday #things could be different

virtual journal, 25/07

the past days the weather has been a disaster, but this morning i’m simply grateful for the fresh autumn air, i went out for breakfast to breathe it in

🪺 thoughts: my erasmus could be a great exercise in taking myself out on dates, i feel drawn to visual work again (<- so do it!)

🪷 for today: read for an hour, put up books/clothes on vinted, journal, laundry, meet up with my landlord (scary!), draw

2023 reads

The Deep Sky

scifi mystery thriller

on a deep space mission traveling from an environmentally devastated earth with hope to restart humanity elsewhere

when they’re halfway, an explosion kills 3 crew and pushes them off course

the only witness is the Alternate who has no specific role, and she has to figure out who caused it & if they might continue to sabotage, while they're figuring out a way to get back on course with limited resources

flips between present and the past: of her childhood and training for the mission, her identity struggles, and relationship with her mother

questions the ethics of ‘restarting’ humanity elsewhere vs putting resources into fixing earth

#the deep sky #yume kitasei #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #i really loved this!!!!!#very intense but also a lot of interesting character introspection #love the virtual reality AI aspect!!!! though I do feel like. in the end I was expecting it to go way further with it?#(basically like instead of seeing the inside of the ship all the time they can 'be' in forests or aquariums or whatever)#no romance #(there’s side lesbians; and one flashback scene where she briefly wonders about kissing a random person; that's it)#emotional core about her mother and brother and best friend !!#i like that it gets into the flaws of 'humanity's last hope on another planet' bc like. yeah in real life things....don't work like that...#why is there zero acknowledgement that the concept of every one of them being expected to give birth being extremely fucked up?#like obviously everyone on board is there because they agreed with that but there’s not a single flashback of #when they found out that information; or mention of someone questioning it...#(for example a character mentions that they hid their mental health/use of a therapy animal bc they wouldn't have been let in and the -#eugenics around that is iffy to say the least)#but to me. pregnancy is horrifying and nobody questioning that was weird.#also there’s supposedly 80 people on board but we get to know less than 10 of them which felt a bit strange at points #Also! I love the cover. I can’t find the designer (the book info only credits the internal lllustrator..)#also: bird facts!
