@twistylittlepassages @pagrus i’m so jealous of Japanese KitKats—it’s so hard to find flavored ones in the US and when you do they’re almost always boring (the somewhat confusingly named mocha + chocolate duo is decent as far as coffee candy goes, if you happen to spot them but. Also one of the least controversial flavor pairings for a chocolate candy possible)

There’s also an undertone where in my last paper I included some observations on how Besant uses Hinduism to give her arguments cultural legitimacy and he was like ‘you should drop everything else and focus on that’ which I did, technically, by writing a paper about how Besant consistently conflates Hindu Nationalism with Indian Nationalism and rejects all other religions as irrelevant or inherently foreign

Which is *probably* not what he meant by that lol

> Are you developing public services? Or a system that people might access when they're in desperate need of help? Plain HTML works. A small bit of simple CSS will make look decent. JavaScript is probably unnecessary - but can be used to progressively enhance stuff. Add alt text to images so people paying per MB can understand what the images are for (and, you know, accessibility).
