time to hibernate

[archaeologist voice] so this is a site from the le creuset culture, known for its colorful and really fucking heavy cast iron cookware. ah fuck they found another one. just leave it in the ground man my back hurts

i don't have an informed opinion on the accuracy of this translation, but i can say for sure that "the huēyi tlahtoāni (reverend speaker) ahuitzotl" would have confused me 300% less in the first second after reading

having an extremely low blood pressure day so i am practicing self care (chugging salty snacks and thinking about my pet peeves)

Watch the #NationalDayOfMourning livestream here on Nov. 27 at 12 noon EST. #nothanksnogiving #thankstaking www.youtube.com/live/6u-jF6p...

rip to the territory but the map is different. and better. maybe even better than the territory

youtube auto-cc thinks "jarl" is "charles." welcome back leigh bardugo grisha

i worked at a grocery store for years, thanksgiving rush isn't news, but i always feel mildly baffled about where everyone came from. what were you eating for the rest of the year

Ah, I'm awake again. Time to open the psychological harm app

i hate driving but i do like being able to disapprovingly say "25% of deer accidents occur in november" to people zooming by me and know they can't hear me

why do people keep writing 900 page history books on subjects i'm curious about. break that shit up. end on a cliffhanger

that tumblr post about (woodrow) wilson and (edward) house is all fun and games until the book you're reading yourself reaches the wilson years

my city is likely a little larger in area and population than the classic period mayan city-state tikal (/yax mutal?) at its peak and yet has zero jaguar temples

we should have a fad of puritan-style names for kids but from academic texts instead of the bible. this is my daughter Contested Spaces Winthrop. Imaginaries Ashe. Cross-Disciplinary Analysis Adams. but those get too popular so people start panicking and naming their kids Velar Nasal and Phonotactic

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

i'm not saying it changed me in ways that were especially interesting but i'm not sure i ever really recovered from gary paulsen's anecdote in woodsong about seeing a squirrel tear a chipmunk's throat out

why does a fucking tendon have opinions about the rain. you're literally inside my skin

i've gone too long without sitting by the ocean for hours but now the ocean is cold >:(

i always forget what an evil season winter is

i think for me intellectual curiosity is a symptom of migraine prodrome

if i'd ever said anything mean about nyc i'd take it back now, but i am pure of heart

i think we should get three extra hours tonight

contemplating a belief system where the more books you die still in the process of reading, the more merit you accumulate. to die halfway through 30+ books is hero tier, 1 is an acceptable normie death, etc. if you die having finished every book you started and intended to finish: oblivion

having one of those days where i decide it's absolutely vital that i read about 200 hours' worth of history books in the next 48 hours. the patient needs unmanageable to-read lists to live

i use one of these beautiful government center bog bodies as my discord icon and for a few seconds i was looking at this like "who took this picture of me"

me every day: i don't live in nyc or maine, elections in nyc and maine are not my problem, i don't even really need to know there are elections in nyc or maine me every day like an hour later: what the FUCK, (ok #uspoli for the mute lists of wise people staying at step 1 here)

what makes a book good isn't plot, characters, settings, etc., it's whether it displays a photo of la gallina loca from teotihuacan on one or more pages. "but my book isn't about teotihuacan it's set in the netherlands" whose fault is that

i am responsible and can be trusted with metadata powers please your db is in shambles <- unsent draft to local library

i'm the only person doing perfect opsec for no kings (physically unable to go)

the library has bridge to terabithia under nonfiction. big if true

i keep finding myself thinking "when i have more free time--" i can't walk enough to go anywhere or do anything, this is the most free time i'll ever have

first person present tense is meant for things like complaining to your friend about an unreasonable stranger, not for novels

i need to make a list of categories of wikipedia articles i'm not allowed to read, especially at night, and then enforce it somehow

is there a word for sunday scaries but about the seasons

i hate it when a dream can't be bothered to do any worldbuilding so i have to show up at the mechanic's like "hi i'm here to fix ummmm your car machines. whatever they're called"

i like that as generic as the word "pained" sounds, i almost exclusively hear it used to describe the specific suffering of hearing someone say something stupid

if we had the courage to sleep for 17 years at a time we could call them "cicadian rhythms"

i need an albion's seed mentioned jpeg that expresses confusion and doubt rather than joy. like the anime girl going 🤔 deformed piglets off to the side

working on a new medical theory of achilles tendonitis that posits its cause is miasmas

Supporting the #SomervilleMA man grabbed by guys in balaclavas even after they determined he was 'lawful' www.universalhub.com/2025/support...

i appreciate that every little satellite city here has a different evil nature to its roads, so i can drive 20 minutes away and return home like thank god i'm free of four lane bridges land and back in the normal place where there's a malevolent rotary every ten feet

i think it would be fun to have a bookstore where the category of true crime (a) supersedes all other genre considerations, and (b) encompasses all nonfiction which prominently features unlawful acts. for me, not for customers trying to find books

i should be at the club (fishing dock at the river at dusk)

every time i read about hurricane katrina at some point i remember that one fandom_wank poster who was insisting people should have just walked out of new orleans. i will never be free
