The reason Sophie was so obviously and unabashedly enjoying herself at the Bridgerton masquerade, in contrast to “the other young ladies,” is quite simple: Those women were at work, while Sophie was on an escape from work (and a generally sucky life). The former is basically what she pointed out to Benedict—these events are how they have to secure their livelihood (and at the very least, get out their parents’ house). They ain't playin' around.

“Constantly pursuing you? While I can imagine that is taxing for you [lolz], you must imagine that those young ladies have spent their entire lives preparing for the pursuit. Hundreds of hours acquiring their accomplishments, endless fittings, not to mention the three hours alone it takes to do up their hair, for the five or six hours they will be at this ball. All in the hope that you might simply notice them.”

Side note: Shouldn't he have already gotten this by now? He's got 4 sisters, 3 of whom have debuted, 2 of whom have gotten married, and he's been their back-up escort for years, what's not clickin’, bruh? Idk, the luxury of not having to pay attention I guess, lol

so today a group of 8-9 year old kiddos approaches my desk and goes “hey. we want to go to the downstairs part of the library.”

i’m like “you can totally go downstairs, but just so you know, right now the only thing down there is the genealogy department. that’s like the history of this area and the people who lived here a long time ago.”

i’m expecting them to lose interest, but to my surprise, they go “we want to see the genealogy department!!!!!!”

so i’m like “alright let’s do it!!!!” and lead this group of maybe six elementary school kids across the library make way for ducklings style and downstairs to our extremely not kid friendly genealogy room. our genealogy librarian is super cool, though, and he pulls out a few interesting things for them to look at & they ask a lot of questions and try to find where they live on maps from the 1800s

after about fifteen minutes, their curiosity has been sated, so we go back upstairs and over to the children’s department in that same duckling parade style

truly wish i could render this little scene artistically for you all it was a delight

if you're shopping for a uhhhhh customizable and unique gift for the various parental holidays coming up, may I recommend batblobs? Whether your parental figure was responsible for wrangling just you or a whole mob of feral creatures, pick the number of glow-in-the-dark eyes that suit. (Eyes come in a variety of shapes.)

Or if you'd like something with a bit more pizzazz, a little bit less of a cryptid bent, but that still says "Thanks for keeping us mostly alive and intact," try a batroyshka!

The standard BatFam set is good for traditionalists and groups led by a long-suffering but competent Alfred figure

while Team Robin is perfect for the more feral groups, as well as found-family vibes

I handpaint all of them, and if you hit me up on Tumblr instead of through the link, I can give you a discount (because E*sy won't be taking a cut.)

thinking about diatoms again

crabussy

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

crabussy

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.

crabussy

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

They are so cool, and ubiquitous. Their silica forms deep sea silaceous oozes, which become cherts and they also supply the silica for the flints found in limestones, and diatomaceous earths and diatomites.

crabussy

yes!!!! I love a good deep sea siliceous ooze..... I have some facial mud mask stuff containing cosmetic grade diatomaceous earth, which is why I remembered them. diatoms really are everywhere. they're on my face.

Hey anyone notice how google translate is being pretty liberal with their translations as of late? Takin some real liberties to infer tone.

melongifts

ask and ye shall receive: When I write in Japanese I usually also throw it in google translate to double check that I'm not using the wrong kanji by mistake, and two years ago it gave me very dry and literal translations.

I was doing it today and noticed it had a pretty strong voice added to the output

For reference, to give a dry translation I would put: Lately I'm into in Hanafuda. Nobody seems to know anything about it here, so they probably wouldn't understand my brilliant jokes. I guess you guys will never be able to understand "Mister November and the Scary Cave".

I have a fluent friend who is able to check my work for me and give me tips on hitting the correct tone (I was going for a comically casual feeling), so I'm confident that I'm expressing the feeling I'm intending. While Google is also hitting the same emotion, I really don't like knowing that it's assigning tone in the first place.

To check if it was editorializing based on informal grammatical choices, I formal'd up the writing to be more polite and remove any non-standard vocabulary.

I'm just like... what is anyone who is translating what I'm thinking into their own language going to think when a translation app decides that it knows my intended tone? When online communication is already so complicated and nuanced? I'm a non-native so I'm spending ages agonizing over 117 characters, but when I'm chatting in English I'm not being so deliberate. How likely is it that tools that 'naturalize' are going to make choices that don't reflect reality and lead to insulting misunderstandings? I spoke with an English learner just yesterday who thought they were being bullied (they were not, the commenter in question was just excitedly infodumping about sociology) because something was lost in translation, and I wonder if it's because of tools making choices like this. I'm just a luddite I don't trust stuff like this. stinks of ai asking me if it can rerwrite my email in a more quirky style.
