During this weeks round of ‘So is Ao3 ever going to get its shit together re:fandoms racism problem’ someone suggested ‘well if they’re going to keep claiming they’re an archive why not make it more like an actual archive and get rid of all the social aspects’ (specifically kudus, comments, & hitcounts, though the pro’s & cons of also ditching bookmarks were discussed)

I wonder whether the people I lend my notes to notice that 'administrata' is not actually a real word or if they just accept it

Damn skull.supply doesn't ship to Iceland :(

Public transit funding, electrical grid upgrades & expanded access to broadband are all being funded by this package which I’m happy about

Not personally thrilled by the amount of $$ going to highways and roads but I’m not surprised its in there and it will help some people so whatever

«Biden signed the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan into law – the largest federal investment in infrastructure in more than a decade…In the House, Democratic leaders expect to vote on the roughly $2 trillion climate, safety net, and tax package this week and send it to the Senate…If the social safety net and climate bill passes the House and Senate, the total increased infrastructure spending as a share of the economy will eclipse Roosevelt’s New Deal.»

I’m not like, pro Avignon but:
a) they aren’t *that* much worse than plenty of non-french popes, like there are plenty of 70 yr runs of shitty Roman popes
b) lets be honest the whole thing was at least 60% Rome being OUTRAGED that they weren’t being treated like they were the center of the world anymore and, smarting at the loss of social capital (as well as probably some literal capital, pilgrims were a lucrative business) deciding that obviously the popes MUST be puppets to the french king to decide to reside in France because there was no other possible reason a pope might voluntarily leave Rome

This textbook is taking a weirdly strong stance against the Avignon papacy

Anyway I have arbitrarily selected the end of DST as the point at which it is enough winter that i have to take vit D every morning. If you also need to take vit D in the winter, here is your free reminder to go stock up
