Ears Are Ready For Take Off

I was working on some other tasks and somehow landed on the animal figurine side of JSTOR (don't tell my manager).

May I offer you three conspiring jerboa figurines from the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

it wild to me that there are people out there who aren't interested in history

like wdym you don't think about the fact that women would tell stories as they made butter in the same way we listen to podcasts today? wdym you don't think about that one Chinese poet who wrote about how much he loved his cats hundreds of years ago? wdym you don't think about the fact that we found a gravesite of a young child surrounded by flowers from THOUSANDS of years ago? wdym you don't think about how people wrote "i was here" into the walls in Pompeii? wdym you don't think about the little egyptian boy who drew little doodles at the top of his school works more then a thousand years ago?

wdym you don't think about the fact that people, no matter the place, time, social status, are fundamentally no different from you. that they loved the same as you, enjoyed the same things you did, dreamed about a better life the same way you did. that despite how seemingly detached you are from these people, in time, place, and culture, the things you do and the thing u are, are so undeniably human that it transcends time and space

I don't want convenience. I want control.

I hate where modern technology is going. I sound like an old woman but I dislike wireless, I hate the bloat and spyware that seems to be normal. This is why I support and use libreboot. Hell, even why I use Gentoo and why I love openbsd.

Ahh the good old Linux Transgender Allegory

i am a tboy and i started using ubuntu (my first linux experience ever) like 3 months ago and i just realized using linux is exactly like being transgender

like some things get difficult cos most people arent using linux but everything that's harder about using linux is completely trumped by how pleasant it is to not use windows

This is poetry to me, thank you anonymous Ubuntu tboy I will think about this forever

Claiming epiphanies just seem to come to him when he sits by an orca tank, local man Troy Morales told reporters Friday that he always gets his best ideas in the splash zone. “Something about a 10-foot wall of water crashing onto me really gets the brain juices flowing,” said Morales, who described a phenomenon in which his mind is able to ideate freely given the lack of distractions at the edge of the orca pool, allowing inspiration to strike while he is drenched by a whale-induced tsunami.
