Chaos, i guess

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I’m doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I’m bad at tags.

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you’re able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

I have a zombie gnome on little stump by my front porch.

Today, I saw some kid walking to the bus stop, turn and come up my walkway.

Gently, he knelt down beside my gnome, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a smaller gnome with a rainbow hat. He carefully placed the little guy on the stump, then turned and went to the bus.

I went out to take a look and it looks like the little guy was hand painted to match the zombies facial expression.

I think I’m going to treasure this for the rest of my life. Yeah, there’s good in the world. And the kids are alright.

You are so right, tumblr user @ubersaur.

Lol

I cannot stop laughing at the idea that socialism ignores humanity’s highest spiritual ideal: owning yachts.

honestly kinda unfortunate that the only spooky library aesthetic is the victorian fancy bookshelves dark academia one bcos like. ok here’s some library stories.

• while i was at the university the library was undergoing a major refurbishment so for a little while the print journals were being stored temporarily down in the basement.
• basically nobody ever consulted the print journals bcos 99% of stuff undergrads would be looking up is online these days so every time i went down there it was dead fucking silent & empty. you had to walk through what felt like several miles of empty basement to reach the collection, which was in a room w a photocopier shoved in the corner and a bunch of these:

u turn the handles to move these around (saves space) and every time you had to go and check the aisles first on the offchance that someone was in there so they wouldn’t get u know. Compacted.

• many years ago i did a week’s work experience with the National Library of Scotland. here it is:

but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. it keeps going down the side of the bridge, like so:

i got a tour of the stacks while i was there. it’s floor after floor of this:

the bookshelves are made of metal & i was treated to the ‘fun fact’ that the shelves are, bizarrely, load bearing. for this reason they have to be constantly vigilant about fire hazards because even a relatively small fire could cause a bookcase to buckle from the heat, which in turn could cause the whole building to collapse in on itself like a house of cards.

this has haunted me ever since!! thank you.

adding onto this as someone who spends a lot of time in library/archive settings

• if not locked, the stacks (compound shelving) WILL move and they will NOT stop. you can actually get hurt in them
• a lot of archives are temperature/humidity controlled so it’s always pretty cold in there, and you’re prone to hitting random cold spots
• old stuff creaks. bad. some artefacts will make random popping sounds
• there are mannequins for textiles and old clothes and they are so scary in the corner of the eye (and even in direct vision)
• the archive i worked at had motion controlled lights and so you’d walk into pitch blackness and have to just hope you didn’t run into a stack. they always came on late.
• an empty archive is so scary. the bigger it is the scarier, and you’re often alone. the archivist i worked for once sent me in and went “just pick whatever looks cool” EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME. I FELT SO SMALL. humbling experience.
• paintings. that’s it. that’s the point.
• some stuff reeks
• museums often have a lot of mask type things of really wild expressions which can be actually terrifying to see out of the corner of your eye.

The nature of the immigrant is any food they make is inauthentic, neither “authentic” food from their homeland nor “authentic” food from where they live. This is of course, not xenophobic in the slightest.

I think about this every time I see someone pretentiously going on about where a food ackshually came from because immigrants are never fucking good enough. If you do this I fucking hate you. Apologize to every immigrant immediately or face my wrath.

I promise your culinary experiences will only improve if you start to consider immigrant foodways as valuable traditions in their own right. Immigrants devising ways to make food they like using what they find available in their new homes is one of the greatest examples of how humans express love through food.
