just realized that selecting all the nice hardbacks to go on the smaller bookshelf is effectively me sorting my books by texture
I have reached new heights of autism
please send help and/or applauses

higher education is doing great
Um wtf
The recordings also captured students, who were unaware of the surveillance
Do students give up all rights to their image and voice when attending UNC?

A business school professor was startled to learn that the university had recorded his classes as part of a โreviewโ he didnโt know about. The university says it has no formal policy on filming classe...

Seriously: People have so much grief & rage & trauma & pain, these days, and so so many of us seem absolutely adamantly opposed to acknowledging that, let alone doing anything about it. It's honestly sad, in the abstract, & just so deeply wearying when they decide to make it everyone else's problem.
oh man this one hits so hard
I cannot begin to tell you how many (largely unsuccessful) rounds of "I swear I'm not being an asshole, I just don't understand" on a regular basis
huge thanks for the folks who know me well enough and care about me enough to believe me
and on top of that, the constant need for clarification is generally interpreted by allistics as manipulative - so, unless the person is aware of the dynamic, doing that is just digging the hole deeper, and we never understand why

I never get to be the normal one in these scenarios so I resisted assigning them @richterscale.bsky.social's article for @contingent-mag.bsky.social on triscuits
but only barely
contingentmagazine.org/2020/03/31/t...
and how did I feel about charcuterie
obvs I feel great about any meal comprised entirely of meat and cheese I get to eat with my hands
they brought over like conservatively 15 cheeses, several meats, one bell pepper, a thing of apple slices, two different kinds of triscuits, two loaves of bread
also this person, surrounded by cheeses and a BYOT: IDK I keep winding up in relationships, I'm really just trying to keep it casual
me: *gestures everywhere*
like we had a VERY frank conversation about neither of us looking for anything serious but fifteen cheese options in no way imply "breezy"
look for real the only part I truly care about is that they brought the good butter
and that is the story of how this new friend wound up making toast in my living room while we watched Black Sails and ate many, many different cheeses
the end
them: IDFK, I'm never sure what people have in their houses
*sheepishly*
I actually have a toaster in the truck, a lot of people don't have one and I really like toast
me: yeah no I'm
I'm gonna need to see the toaster
"when I'm doing a thing I like to do the whole thing"
"but I didn't bring a corkscrew bc I felt like that might be doing too much"
*proceeds to open the wine with a screw and a hammer, which was p hot actually*
me, looking at the sheer amount of food: but the CORKSCREW would have been too much
two bottles of red wine, olives, an olive oil balsamic herbal dipping thingy, and a full bottle of olive oil,
(and also a bottle of Japanese whiskey for me, bc we'd been talking about it)
me: this is great but I do own olive oil, I'm not a monster
...I don't actually have a corkscrew tho ๐

it was really cute, honestly? I have Gotten Excited and Did Too Much my own self plenty of times but I'm not sure I've ever been on the receiving end of this level of hyperfocused enthusiasm ๐
the short version is we'd talked about dinner and they mentioned having a bunch of stray meats and cheeses
it was, kind of? but one never really knows what to say when a gentleman caller arrives with his own toaster
I have been on so many dates in my life but somehow never one that involved a BYO toaster

Every time I rewatch PACIFIC RIM, I think, okay, this time I might be disappointed, so let me not expect too much. But no, every fucking time is a banger.
y.i.k.e.s.
"In a 16-year period ending in 2022, the ATF identified more than 52,000 guns recovered from crime scenes that were once used by police agencies. It took a federal court order for the ATF to release that data."
honestly we needed this
