Hello, when I see questions like this on Tumblr, and your answers @neilhimself, I always smile. Then Sandman crosses my mind and I comment as below. But, even if you are only a dream, sir, you make this world worth to live in. ❤️🌍 I would spend hours talking with you about all that you know and want to share, not only about books. Some people, as I can see, often seems to forget you are a man, a human being like us, before to be a famous writer. PS: I love when you reply with sarcastic words. 😎😌
@hallenbeck@lastwordonsport@bookstodon Excellent list These are books that stay with you. Just finished The Salt Path last week. It was a celebration of courage and determination in the face of injustice and bad luck.
“In discussing the questions summed up in the phrase academic freedom, it is necessary to make a distinction between the university proper and those teaching bodies, called by whatever name, whose primary business to inculcate a fixed set of ideas and facts. The former aims to discover and communicate truth and to make its recipients better judges of truth and more effective in applying it to the affairs of life. The latter have as their aim the perpetuation of a certain way of looking at things current among a given body of persons.” — John Dewey, “Academic Freedom” (1902, MW, 2: 54)
If anyone is trying to access stuff at the British Library but can't due to the #CyberAttack, National Library of Scotland is worth a try.
For example, it has some historical maps of the entire UK.
I've been looking at a large scale one for Suffolk, where my grandmother's family farmed up til the 1880s, and overlaying a modern satellite view. #BritishLibrary#maps https://www.nls.uk/
@markhburton While awaiting the return of digitised manuscripts & context to the British Library website, I've been hoping to find alternative sources after all the international collaboration on IIIF etc? but meanwhile just discovered that some popular images are at https://imagesonline.bl.uk
@beanjbunny I haven't been playing Palworld because guns and more colonialism were not the things I've felt Pokémon has been missing. But it sounds like there's something AI-related, too—can you shed more light on that?
Good intention, to let us know about the strategy. But i would guess everybody knows the strategy since most of us are working in IT. Hence the downvotes.
But tbh. everyone should hear about it. No backup? No sympathy. (Kein Backup? Kein Mitleid)
The devastating combination of ADHD, insurance fuckery, doctors being booked out five months in advance, and that providers simply Do Not Answer Their Email Or Phones means that I've been trying to see a doctor about daily pain for... over a year
"You should see a doctor about getting on ADHD medication. You have an actual diagnosis." ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha you are totally right but somehow it has slid down my priority list every time for the last decade
@aphyr I have to admit some amusement at a practitioner saying to someone with #ADHD, “you should prioritize this.” Srsly? “You didn’t just seriously suggest prioritizing to someone with ADHD did you? Are you even remotely aware….?” Hahaha
@mikey By being spineless, profit chasing dirtbags...They laid those people off due to wanting to make their profit margins look better. Even though they could easily cut the salaries of overpaid higher management the mad amounts of cash for their work instead to achieve the same effect. But no, instead like all lay off addicted companies, Microsoft chose the worse option and affecting the lives of so many people just to look good for some damn investors. Capitalism without firm regulations is a huge mistake!
