Obsessed with this guy’s report to his funding body about an academic conference c. 1999:

Stimulated by Messrs Trautmann and Ekman, the delegates then undertook informal discussions in "break-out groups." You are probably familiar with this alarming term, "break-out groups." A break-out group is not a cohort of escaped prisoners, as one might think or even hope, but a random selection of folks, very often complete strangers to each other, who are presumed to form instant affinities thicker than blood in the simple act of breaking out, that is, in sitting together in a group of ten or a dozen. Break-out groups derive, I believe, from the world of church youth movements and self-help organizations; and they are probably pretty effective when the topic under discussion is one's spiritual quest or one's sexual addictions. Problems of intellectual property, alas, do not seem sufficiently magnetic to induce the spurious intimacy characteristic of the successful break-out group. One delegate—I shall not name him—broke out of the break-out group and sat in sullen, silent isolation a few yards away. He uttered but one sentence: "I do not break out."

Is this OSHA approved? Absolutely not. A PAPR system and tyvek suit would be better. But for diy painting in small amounts? It'll do.

sometimes it really sucks to be writing a WoT thing and be constrained by the fact that they really only have two in-universe swears. sometimes you really just want moiraine damodred to be able to take a look at A Situation and mutter jesus fucking christ under her breath about it

#sometimes also you want moiraine to smoke a cigarette after getting laid but I’m choosing to focus on one issue at a time #yes part of the beauty of WoT world is the linguistic difference from ours #but also #let moiraine damodred say Jesus fucking Christ 2k23 #the wheel of time #wheel of time #wot fic #moiraine damodred #rare pic of me in the wild

there is SOOOOO much to say about gendered emotion and the self in heloise’s letters but 90% of the time all i can think is why did she not kill abelard with her own hands

#the historia calamitatem or whatever it’s called is soooo self absorbed it’s like truly men should shut up #rare pic of me in the wild #heloise

so thanks to some gifsets we all knew that sophie okonedo is deeply hot in slow horses s3. well i am reporting back from the trenches of s1 to say that kristin scott thomas is also doing it for me and in approximately the same way if you can believe it. i have previously been scared of women with blonde bobs but no more. if this is news you can use then use it

#miss okonedo is on screen for all of three minutes across the first 6 eps so you have to find something else to fixate on #i gather that she does not show up in s2 but i will bravely soldier on thanks to KST #and then s3. well i am anticipating #rare pic of me in the wild #slow horses

the moiraine-anvaere sister relationship. not to also be an older sister who's too intelligent for her own good with a wildly different and therefore jealous younger sister who sometimes says insane and perceptive stuff to me while being very annoying and yet also very caring and considerate. but that was like, a lot to take on board, personally

for some reason I as a very new employee am manning the store by myself this morning but there’s not a lot going on so I was in the middle of taking an autism test on my phone when my boss called to check in

#if you are wondering I got a score that is certainly within range of having autistic traits #but I do not consider myself autistic at this time #anyway what else should I do on my phone until something happens #rare pic of me in the wild

scenes from 9:30am the day of Thanksgiving: my sister started asking my mom if she had ever had an abortion and then said “wait…” and my mother said “no sweetie I’m a gold star lesbian” and my other mother said “we don’t say that anymore” and then we all got on with roasting the sweet potatoes

#grateful af for these weirdos tbh #rare pic of me in the wild

it is so important to never learn what celebrities name their children because i would rather not have to lose respect for certain people (MS PIKE) over it

#sorry guys the grazia photoshoot is going around so i went to go read the profile and man. why the hell did she name her kids THAT #rare pic of me in the wild #rosamund pike

tasted the gravy i made for my dinner and instantly said “ooh that’s lovely that is” out loud to the empty kitchen. +2 for a successful béchamel on a tuesday night, - infinity for thinking that gives me license to talk like an old british woman

1: huge 1 bedroom but in a basement/down some annoying stairs which means my grandmother could never visit, and very dark. like “only the bathroom has an overhead light switch and the windows are useless except at noon” dark. giving “depression cave” vibes according to my mom but on a REALLY nice residential block. kitchen a little out of date but the right size for one person to cook in and shared building laundry. underpriced for both size and location which would be so amazing for my social life and my budget.

2: smaller but still nicely sized 1 bed facing the street on the ground floor so my grandmother could make it inside but across from some gay bars so tbd on her wanting to visit but again amazing for my social life. big kitchen space with dishwasher and lots of light from the living room but because it’s the ground floor there are iron bars on the windows. no on-site laundry and idk where the nearest laundromat is. same price as 1.
