Adding this to the list of things to get my nearly 6 year old niece later if she is still super obsessed with spiders in a few years. 🤞
FYI if you're a 10-year-old who says they like Ranma 1/2 because it's funny, the NYPL teen librarian is going to hand you something called "Giant Spider & Me"

I have been watching a lot of Nutcracker stuff because I will be performing it this year, and I just want to give a shoutout to the Boston ballet's rat king. The costume is giving RAT. The trinkets and embellishments look like he stole them from the Christmas decorations and are so detailed. 🤌

I would because, somehow, my former partner had the same birthday as me, and T also has the same birthday as me. Coincidental, but also a little irksome. 😂
Serious inquiry, because I’ve heard differing opinions on this.

Would you all date someone with the same birthday as you ? Why or why not ?

I have been reading all the "students these days" threads from various sides and I have an essay's worth of thoughts -- there's a lot of complexity and heterogeneity that is hard to communicate on social media. There are a couple of things I will say here though. 1/

I am allowed to fail students for AI use, and I do, and I say I will, repeatedly and emphatically. As a result, I wind up having to fail very few students for AI use.
I read the thread and know why they're not failing the students. They gotta let colleges fail the students for the sake of the curriculum and other students
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I have my entire life been a poor sleeper, and I am looking forward to icing my noggin tonight.
Three evenings ago I read an article about using ice packs on the forehead to help beat insomnia. The original study was from 2011 IIRC. Apparently if you drop the temperature of your frontal lobe by a degree or so you trigger a cascade of sleepy time metabolic events.

Just want to note that I spoke with three professors at three different institutions about that thread, and I will say that anecdotally, it was not reflective of their experience either. Take that as you will!
I've seen a lot of depressed takes today about modern students, who in these stories are completely disinterested and disconnected from their classes. I don't really want to disagree with takes which come from real experience. But I do want to note that this has not been my experience at all. 1/?

Spontaneously built the base for a custom desktop tonight and installed sit stand legs. Ultimately, it is to design on and ensure accurate measurements and will have to be completely disassembled, but that is the joy of woodworking.

JP is my friend and a great colorist! The best way to support comics artists is to purchase their work, and a great time to do that is, of course, right now! If you love comics, request these issues from your local indie! In Boise, you can check out Captain Comics: captain-comics.com

Chloe makes these delightful pieces of art. The one I purchased is of a squirrel, and I love him. His name is Jimmy. If you are looking for some unique art this season, this is a good place to start!
Hello I’m Chloe, I’ve added these three original artworks (Theseuses and Minotaurs) to my website as originals to buy. Sorry there’s a lot of this at the moment, before Xmas is really my best bet. Ta! 🐂 🇬🇷

This is good advice! I personally tend to try to limit my colors to one, and I think using text styles (H1, H2, body) is useful. They don't look fancy, but they are effective. I do include a funny, relevant image (never AI) for section title cards, though. ☺️
Clean fonts, no more than 2. Contrasted colours, no more than 2 aside from if a graph needs more. Pay attention to your line endings. More margin. No background, or one solid colour. Keywords and short sentences; bullet points.

Wanted to highlight this as I push people toward shopping their indies! As a former bookseller, this resonates. The 1st request would get me looking into the book, the 2nd would put it into consideration, and the 3rd would result in additional orders (generally speaking). Your interest matters!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
