I! HATE! ACADEMIA!!!!!!!

#i have been trying to get into this pdf for 30 minutes #i have access through my institution #but every time i try to sign on it says 'oh you've been redirected one too many times try clearing your cookies' #i cleared my cookies #i cleared my cache from the last 7 days #i closed all my other tabs #i switched from chrome to firefox and back #I CAN'T EVEN GET TO SCIENCEDIRECT.COM WITHOUT IT GIVING ME THAT FUCKING ERROR SCREEN #AHHHHHHH #jstor save me #save me jstor #anytime i try to find the full text somewhere else it just redirects me to elsevier or whatever the fuck it's called 😭😭 #fuck this im going to bed

returning to the arms of my lover (jstor) oh how i have missed her

#jstor save me….. #it’s kinda a toxic relationship bc we only ever interact when i need something (ideas for my essay) #and she tells me what to think and do and say (she shows me all the clever critical readings) #but it’s beautiful nevertheless

Maybe this is going to sound so stupid AKFKKRKEKFKFKF but where do you start learning about angels? Any particular sources that you recommend? I want to expand my knowledge on ✨👼🪽a n g e l l o r e ✨👼🪽 without accidentally falling from some tradcath's attempt at making church look cooler than it really is

Youre not stupid!! and I don't want to start coming off as The Authority on angels or anything - I'm just a guy. I think I'm really wary of others positioning themselves as an authority on angels (or theology generally) when they make videos/tiktoks explaining angel forms/hierarchies/etc. hence my frustrations

Unfortunate boring answer but: I think the best place to start is the Bible, reading the (few!) scenes where angels are present, examining how they act and how they speak. Read the scene where Jacob wrestles the angel, or the one where angels rush over to comfort Jesus after his days in the desert, or the angel that shakes Elijah awake then feeds him (then does it another time). (Book of Tobit, too, if you want to see Raphael!)

It's after this that I think you can start getting into the "sources." I would recommend reading the Book of Enoch - it's short, the summaries of it online are not good imo, and it's pretty simple. One translation I've been enjoying atm is George Schodde's ! Next, I would suggest moving onto the real "angelologists."

So, of course - Pseudo-Dionysius' The Celestial Hierarchy. Books like Thomas Heywood's Hierarchie of the Blessed Angells, and dictionaries about angels/demons. Here is where all the "fun" stuff is! I'm a boring loser so I usually read up on these, before or after, on JSTOR (or at least I did until I graduated) because you can learn a lot about the context in which they were written, and why you might not want to take what's in this umbrella of angelology/theology at face value. (Remember that these type of books/studies were often commissioned by powerful people.)

Around here or after this, you can move onto the writing about angels that isn't trying to convince you it's actual theology – so Milton's Paradise Lost or William Blake's work generally. I love William Blake, he's probably the only guy more in love with Lucifer than I am.

I wish I had a singular "Angels" book that I recommend but, as of now, not yet! I've hardly touched modern full-length books on angels, just articles (and those don't feel introductory enough to recommend, i think?)

But honestly? Just do whatever you want! No one is the authority on angels, just have fun with them fr <33

#angels lore is kind of tricky too because at once point you're just reading up on Jewish history and culture #regardless im sorry i dont have like youtube or tiktok recs or anything simple #in my defense im (was) a journalist so im used to just going to sources myself and not trusting anyone on the way LMAO #one day ill talk about how the Book of Enoch summaries online are horrible at explaining the actual contents of the book #again sorry for my “just go straight to the sources” brain #anyway #mine #ask #theology rant #oh i guess i have some JSTOR articles still saved but not a lot anymore because i am out of uni #one that stuck with me though is “Some Uses of Angel Iconography in English Literature” by Harry Morris ig

watch me turn 450 words into 750

#time to start adding singlular setences #citations will save me (bold face lie) #they will add like. 120 words though. #gonna go back to the depths of JSTOR to find new sourceswith very long titles

[glrlafraid]

I ❤️ JTSOR

#remaining in academia my whole life so i can access JSTOR for free #save me academic articles on niche subjects im interested in #academic databases my beloved #journal

[snowrassa]

reading ea robinsons lancelot to cleanse myself of the blasphemous camelot academic takes i have read this morning

#no jfk was NOT comparable to an english king of legend and getting published on jstor does not make you right #getting dangerously close to defending the brits these articles have clearly done something terrible to me #i need the cleansing power of lancelot-centric literature to save me

[rubiatinctorum]

i find it incredible that this is a website full of a) parody accounts and b) uni students/academics, and somehow the JSTOR account is real. that bit could have been ripe for the committing just like osha was and there are people in here who are the very target demographic that would pretend to be JSTOR but!!! that is real actual JSTOR on tumblr of all websites

#rubia speaks #jstor #thank you jstor for saving me during that environmental history research project only you had the sources i needed

[meltorights]

the debates about god's existence or nonexistence and his simplicity or complexity are like literally the least interesting parts of philosophy of religion. but i cant look away.

#my friends and companions: no!!! stop!! stop reading modal collapse articles on jstor!!! you're destroying yourself!!!!! #me: im afraid im too far gone..... save yourselves #tep.txt

I went down the internet rabbit hole trying to figure out wtf vegan cheese is made of and I found articles like this one speaking praises of new food tech startups creating vegan alternatives to cheese that Actually work like cheese in cooking so I was like huh that's neat and I looked up more stuff about 'precision fermentation' and. This is not good.

Basically these new biotech companies are pressuring governments to let them build a ton of new factories and pushing for governments to pay for them or to provide tax breaks and subsidies, and the factories are gonna cost hundreds of millions of dollars and require energy sources. Like, these things will have to be expensive and HUGE

I feel like I've just uncovered the tip of the "lab grown meat" iceberg. There are a bajillion of these companies (the one mentioned in the first article a $750 MILLION tech startup) that are trying to create "animal-free" animal products using biotech and want to build large factories to do it on a large scale

I'm trying to use google to find out about the energy requirements of such facilities and everything is really vague and hand-wavey about it like this article that's like "weeeeeell electricity can be produced using renewables" but it does take a lot of electricity, sugars, and human labor. Most of the claims about its sustainability appear to assume that we switch over to renewable electricity sources and/or use processes that don't fully exist yet.

I finally tracked down the source of some of the more radical claims about precision fermentation, and it comes from a think tank RethinkX that released a report claiming that the livestock industry will collapse by 2030, and be replaced by a system they're calling...

Food-as-Software, in which individual molecules engineered by scientists are uploaded to databases – molecular cookbooks that food engineers anywhere in the world can use to design products in the same way that software developers design apps.

I'm finding it hard to be excited about this for some odd reason

Where's the evidence for lower environmental impacts. That's literally what we're here for.

There will be an increase in the amount of electricity used in the new food system as the production facilities that underpin it rely on electricity to operate.

well that doesn't sound good.

This will, however, be offset by reductions in energy use elsewhere along the value chain. For example, since modern meat and dairy products will be produced in a sterile environment where the risk of contamination by pathogens is low, the need for refrigeration in storage and retail will decrease significantly.

Oh, so it will be better for the Earth because...we won't need to refrigerate. ????????

Oh Lord Jesus give me some numerical values.

Modern foods will be about 10 times more efficient than a cow at converting feed into end products because a cow needs energy via feed to maintain and build its body over time. Less feed consumed means less land required to grow it, which means less water is used and less waste is produced. The savings are dramatic – more than 10-25 times less feedstock, 10 times less water, five times less energy and 100 times less land.

There is nothing else in this report that I can find that provides evidence for a lower carbon footprint. Supposedly, an egg white protein produced through a similar process has been found to reduce environmental impacts, but mostly everything seems very speculative.

And crucially none of these estimations are taking into account the enormous cost and resource investment of constructing large factories that use this technology in the first place (existing use is mostly for pharmaceutical purposes)

It seems like there are more tech startups attempting to use this technology to create food than individual scientific papers investigating whether it's a good idea. Seriously, Google Scholar and JSTOR have almost nothing. The tech of the sort that RethinkX is describing barely exists.

Apparently Liberation Labs is planning to build the first large-scale precision fermentation facility in Richmond, Indiana come 2024 because of the presence of "a workforce experienced in manufacturing"

And I just looked up Richmond, Indiana and apparently, as of RIGHT NOW, the town is in the aftermath of a huge fire at a plastics recycling plant and is full of toxic debris containing asbestos and the air is full of toxic VOCs and hydrogen cyanide. ???????????? So that's how having a robust industrial sector is working out for them so far.

Desperately digging for an article to point my research, I saw a JSTOR link, and prayed aloud, "Save me, JSTOR." And the article was incredible and really interesting and now my paper is done. All hail!
