“My name is Elsa Sánchez de Oesterheld, and I am the wife of Héctor Germán Oesterheld, world-famous for writing the comic strip El Eternauta. During this country’s tragic era, my four daughters, my husband, my two sons-in-law, another son-in-law I never met, and two unborn grandchildren disappeared. Ten people disappeared in my family. But I prefer to remember the years when I was happy.”

Elsa Sánchez de Oesterheld - "Los Oesterheld" (2016) A Biography.

In the picture, the four Oesterheld daughters, ages between 14 and 19 years old. The girls were part of the "Unión de estudiantes secundarios" (High school students union).

Argentina's last civic-military dictatorship that took place from 1976 to 1983, supported and financed by the C.I.A. from the United States through the so-called "Operation Condor"; kidnapped thousands of people, took them to clandestine camps, tortured them mercilessly, stole their newborn babies (giving them to new families and hiding their true identities from them afterwards) and disappeared them by extrajudicial executions disposing their bodies secretly.

putting "being argentinean" on the same level as "being racist, violent, misogynistic" is xenophobic as fuck and i'm fucking tired of y'all pretending it's a harmless joke. hope this helps 🤗

It feels like this every time I write a fic

[ryebreadgf]

just learned americans have different standard paper sizes than everyone else. what do you MEAN you don’t have A4 as the standard. what do you mean your standard paper size isn’t even the same size as an A4. apparently it’s like. ’letter’ and ’legal’ and whatever else. help!!!

[ryebreadgf]

this is so scary

Hi! I'm a printer from the US!

What's scary to me here is the idea of having to work with a stack of 8.27" x 11.69" sheets. You would be surprised at how every millimeter counts in the world of printing.

Letter and Ledger are both just rounded versions of A4 and A3, and nobody ever uses Legal. In fact, it's most often used for folded brochures and menus. The rounding is necessary for our strange American brains because if I had to precisely measure and cut a print on an A4 size piece of paper, I would have an aneurysm.

Letter and Ledger can also be referred to as ANSI-A and ANSI-B if you want.

Okay somehow the post came back to my timeline and I was reading the notes, and I think this is very clearly a case of people talking about the same thing while at the same time talking about something entirely different.

The USian take seems to be "what do you mean you use decimals to know the size of your paper???", while the Europeans are like "what do mean you have to think in the measures of your paper at all???"

(I'm not ignoring the rest of the world, but in the rest of the continents there seems to be kind of a mix between different standards).

That's the magic of the A-standards: you don't need to precisely measure anything to cut down paper: just fold them in half and cut... And if you are a professional , you won't even have to do that. You have a A3 printer and you want to print a bunch of A5 sheets? Print 4 of them in the a3 sheets, take it to your paper cutter that is already calibrated to tell you where the half point of each size is, bam, you have bunch of A5s, no need to even think about the exact size you just cut.

I'm pretty sure 95% of the people using A3/4/5 doesn't know it's size in millimeters... Why would they? It's an standard and you don't need to think about it in centimeters, ever.
