ctrl+f is one of the greatest things to happen to academia and indeed this world

[classicslesbianopinions]

it seems like some people don't know keyboard shortcuts so here are some of my favorites. each shortcut is a set of keys that you will press at the same time:

ctrl+f, obviously: search/find, will search a page/document for a word or phrase

ctrl+c / ctrl+v: copy/paste, highlight text and hit ctrl+c and it'll show up again when you hit ctrl+v

ctrl+x: cut, it does the same thing as ctrl+c but it deletes the text, again it'll show up when you hit ctrl+v

ctrl+z / ctrl+shift+z: undo/redo. ctrl+z will undo whatever you just typed, ctrl+shift+z will put it back.

ctrl+a: highlights all the text on a page. this one is a real unsung hero.

ctrl+p: print document.

ctrl+s, ctrl+shift+s: save, save as (for when you're working on a document or project that needs to be saved. note that i don't think ctrl+shift+s works on microsoft word anymore for some godforsaken reason)

also, if you're working with text and you press control while pressing the arrow keys, your cursor will jump from word to word instead of letter to letter. saves a lot of time if you're proofreading/formatting.

be sure to check individual programs and system settings to see what other shortcuts might be available to you. some people have mentioned ctrl+t opening a new tab in a browser, for example.

if you go into your system settings on your computer and search "shortcuts" you can probably also change these or set up new ones. for example i always use a shortcut to switch between keyboard layouts quickly so i can go back and forth between the greek and latin alphabets on the fly. which is epic and awesome!

In at least Firefox and Chrome, maybe other browsers too, you can press ctrl+shift+T to reopen the last browser tab(s) you closed. If you've ever accidentally closed a tab you were working in, this keyboard shortcut is a lifesaver.

In Windows, you can hit Win+V to bring up a list of everything you've copied since the last time you rebooted. That's great for when you want to paste several different things at the same time.

[sycamorality]

often, you can also just use ctrl+y instead of ctrl+shift+z to redo :)

I don't see people talking about this so today is the 110th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, in where the factory owners locked working women and girls inside to "eliminate the risk of theft" (in reality it was too keep them from taking breaks), which resulted in the gruesome deaths of 123 mostly immigrant women and girls and 23 men, many of whom jumped to their deaths from the ninth floor either in a panicked attempt to escape or in order to die quickly. There were reports that some of the workers were on fire already as they jumped.

The eighth floor of the building was able to telephone the tenth floor to warn them about the fire, but the factory on the ninth floor where these women and girls labored had no such communication and such warning.

The factory owners were criminally charged with manslaughter for actions that contributed to the mass deaths but acquitted. However, this tragedy led to mass sympathy to the labor movement, and unions spurred on safety regulations that passed in New York state and eventually the entire country, and activists were able to reduce child labor in the process.

This tragedy is a reminder that has been forgotten in the 110 years since: every safety regulation-- every scrap of paperwork contributing to the hundreds of pages of red tape people like to complain about--every word of it was written in the blood of a laborer.

We have to keep reblogging this so future historians will read it and puzzle endlessly over its meaning

[moodycow210]

The heavy implication that historical ‘abstract’ poetry that people have been analysing for ages without being able to conclude the meaning could have just been shitpost level in-jokes between poets is sending me.

[aqueerkettleofish]

Okay, but unironically yes.

One of my favorite examples of this is "The Raven," by Edgar Allen Poe.

You've undoubtedly read countless analyses of the symbolism and themes of the Raven. But if you're the sort of person who writes metered poetry, it's something entirely different.

It's a hysterical, but historical fact that Poe wrote it for a bar bet. One of his editors said "Nobody could ever write a coherent poem using trochaic octameter" and Poe said "Hold my beer." And because he was one of the greatest phonic poets in human history, he used what would have been an awkward rhyming scheme for anyone else and he packed it full of alliteration, assonance, and sibilance.

It's the equivalent of the drum solo in the live version of YYZ.

I don't know how long this will last, but the situation here in Gaza is getting worse every day after the war between Iran and Israel. I forgot about Gaza. No one talks about us anymore, and the news doesn't mention us. All that is being discussed is Iran, Israel, and America.It's as if they forgot that the main problem is Gaza.

And out

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles

[what-even-is-thiss]

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The new plants also help even more water soak into the ground which reduces flooding even more.

These places also give people places to grow food and graze animals like people are turning completely dry compact desert into a refuge for wildlife and plants and solving regional food insecurity just by digging holes.
