author of this article is waaaay more sanguine about the potential collapse of tradpud than i am, but, still some interesting data here, esp. why kindle unlimited hasn't managed to spotify publishing (yet)

i'm trying to figure out how i somehow got put on three (???) different VERY aggressive catholic mailing lists the exact day that i arrived in Rome. like, i'm not mad, i'm just puzzled. is there some kind of sweet hack where, if you're within 20 miles of the Vatican, they beam the pope rays directly to your gmail or something

#maybe i put my email on something in a church without remembering but idk i think i'd remember that???

it drives me crazy how every time some random pundit pushes the "Don't Go To Some Snobby Elite Private School, Go To A Salt-Of-The-Earth Public School Instead" line:

1) they themselves invariably went to a Snobby Elite Private School and materially, obviously benefited from this (yet are somehow oblivious to that fact!), and

2) the "salt-of-the-earth" public school they choose to name is, like: university of michigan. or, university of north carolina. y'know, internationally well-regarded schools whose tuitions are just as bonkers & just as hard to get into if you're applying from out of state. like come on

#for some reason Southeast Missouri State never comes up gee i wonder why

do chemists ever, like. get extremely fixated on this One Weird Molecule That Will Go Great With EVERYTHING

& then they totter around their lab trying to figure out every possible weird way this molecule can react with other stuff

& eventually they run out of all the obvious candidates, so they start working themselves into a tizzy, b/c what the fuck do you MEAN xenon won't react with my cool molecule. fuck YOU noble gases. i'll show YOU who's boss

& then they waste SO much time and energy pioneering bizarre new techniques to make this reaction kinda sorta work, but in circumstances that ONLY exist in a lab but never ever in nature in a million years

...because i feel like this is my general approach to what is known as "shipping" in fandom circles
