I have a client who
communicates exclusively via Microsoft Word.
If she has something
to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message.
Whenever she wants to
email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its
background.
But my favorite thing
was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL
(“W… W… W… dot…”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word,
made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there.
yeah we put your girl in the fandom and they villainized her beyond comprehension. yeah sorry they took out all the nuance and made the argument completely black and white. yeah my bad. we can’t reverse it. sorry.
We put your girl in the fandom and they still managed to make her posts about a popular male character. Sorry. Yeah, it was basically inevitable. I know. Yeah. Nothing we could’ve done. Sorry again
Yes! Marbled polecats have to be the weirdest of the noodle-y mustelids. The ear puffs, the color, the patterns, the stance, the pout, the length, they have it all!
Other polecats like the Saharan and striped are also pretty wacky skunk lookalikes. Convergent evolution!
I think Malayan weasels are the funkiest literal weasels, very interesting color scheme for a critter living in the tropics.
Japanese martins look pretty similar to the Malayans, but even more vivid. Really would like to know why this coloration evolved twice!
Another tropical guy, nilgiri marten have very bold and striking colors. You look like a bee.
Tayra are not especially weasel flavored as far as mustelids go, but they always look kinda sad and concerned. One of their names in Spanish translates to ‘old man of the mountains’ and I can see why. Has an elderly vibe.
I’m obsessed with this chair. The artist takes a flimsy hunk of injection-molded plastic that’s been cost-cut to hell and back, and insists that we look at it with fresh eyes and understand its beauty. And they went about it in the most labor-intensive way I can think of.
Absolutely nothing about this design is convenient to execute in wood. Every piece is curved, most have compound curves. This is artisan craftsmanship: it’s inherently slow, manual, and skilled. Notice, also, that most features of this chair must be thicker and heavier than on the plastic chairs being imitated. Injection-molded chairs can be produced in this shape in a matter of minutes with far less material at very low cost.
If these flowing, organic curves are so beautiful in polished wood, perhaps they are also beautiful in the mass-produced chairs that are far more accessible. Perhaps we should remember to admire designs that succeed enough to become ubiquitous. I don’t know about you, but I’ll never see injection-molded chairs the same way again.
whenever a kid is signing up for a library card and they and their parent have good silly vibes i like to treat it like a knighting ceremony. i’m like “jacob, child of hannah, i bestow unto you this card of great freedom and power. are you prepared to take on the literary responsibility of your very own library card? i believe you are.” and it always makes them laugh and feel very important it’s so much fun. like yeah we do a little improv at the library we do some bits
recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours
best thing i ever accepted about people is that most people are just kind of gross like, physically
like most people have gross little bad habits and let the laundry go a little too long and sweat in weird places and are messy eaters and have weird laughs and are a little greasy and asymettrical and have stains and tears and wear on the things they own and its like literally fine and human. we dont need to worry about that stuff and frankly we should kill whoever is responsible for making us think humans are even capable of being perfectly polished made up hygeine machines 24/7. we are little animals we came from the dirt and sometimes you scratch your buttcrack or pick at scabs or what the fuck ever it is literally normal animal behaviour !!! let the soft animal of your body ect ect nd sometimes the soft animal of your body is a little yucky.
