"Examining the sources" is what life is all about, my man. Don't outsource it to a vending machine.

Brave, funny, loving, shameless, compassionate, horny, and in solidarity with everyone fighting a good fight: Alice Wong was the example of how to live your life. Live it in such a way that people around the world gush about how much they loved you when you pass. Alice knew how to live!

These ghouls have zero clue about how anything in the humanities works. Same breathless urgency of the early ‚learn to code’ bullshit; kind of interesting how there’s still nowhere near enough people capable of running dig hum infrastructure that will still be quotable in a century.

Ooohhh, okay; my bad!! Asking before raging is a lesson that escapes me sometimes, sadly.

Ugh… just why?? Any decent newspaper used to fire somebody over something like this. The NZZ used to be a highly respectable newspaper; conservative, yes, but informative & quality journalism. I sometimes read it for it’s feuilleton; wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole these days.

Same. I keep telling the story of how my neurologist warned me in the early weeks (!) of it all to try my best not to get it for as long as possible. And that I did. Pretty much everything she could only speculate about back then was proven later; forever grateful to the actual pros, really.

Nur mal nebenbei bemerkt: Bitte niemals denken, sowas sei vergebene Liebesmühe; als Editionsphilologin wurde mir schon so dermaßen oft der Allerwerteste von manchmal winzigen Privatsammlungen gerettet (Papiere, Wasserzeichen, Schriften…)!! Danke, liebe Ehren-Spezis. 🫡
