As a sort of tag to my friending meme promo (which is still going on btw!) Dreamwidth has posted some notes about successfully importing to Dreamwidth from LiveJournal: https://mobile.twitter.com/dreamwidth/status/1501280756068495361

The short version: LJ is intermittently blocking the IP addresses Dreamwidth crawls from, possibly because of people misinputting passwords. There’s not a ton they can do about that unfortunately but trying again later will usually work

If you’re on dreamwidth or want to be on dreamwidth & are looking for accounts to follow, there’s a friending meme going on right now!

Targeted at the current LJ exodus but welcome to all: https://friending-memes.dreamwidth.org/1083.html

Cannot believe I tutored stats without touching excel for two years only to get tricked into it by the library archives

if I get three layers of excel recursion deep you have permission to confiscate my computer

there is now a second excel sheet about the first excel sheet

This professor plans his classes like a Chinese drama

«One of the wildest sects of Communists in France proposes not only to hold all property in common, but to divide the profits not according to each mans in-put and labor but according to each mans wants. Now this is precisely the system of domestic slavery with us. We provide for each slave, in old age and in infancy, in sickness and in health, not according to his labor, but according to his wants. The masters wants are most costly and refined, and he therefore gets a larger share of the profits. A Southern farm is the beau ideal of Communism; it is a joint concern, in which the slave consumes more than the master, of the coarse products, and is far happier, because although the concern may fail, he is always sure of a support; he is only transferred to another master to participate in the profits of another concern…»

lmao this women is talking about how she was arrested for preforming illegal abortions before Roe v Wade and the cop questioning her is like "oh I see you used to be a teacher, I used to be a teacher" and she's like "yeah I was a biology teacher" "well where did you go wrong" "where did *I* go wrong, what do you mean why did you stop being a teacher and become a *cop*?"

A native Spanish speaker just offered to review this for me and I'm just like,

for both our sakes you don't wanna know what american foreign language education produces 😆

#Ao3TagOfTheDay: character death but I don't think it's anyone people particularly care about

I'm not saying that writing emails to prospective employers isn't a valuable skill, I'm just saying it's kinda unfair to expect me to manage it in Spanish when I've never even tried it in my native language??

I can't believe I had to finally figure out how to format my email sig for a Spanish class of all things

I should really add autocorrects changing all of the wrong florespondence hashtags to the correct one

Signs of spring!
