people have said it before but if you read a lot of historical literature you do begin to just sort of think in that style of language. I’ll put down the 18th century journal I’m reading and have to resist the urge to send academic emails with every Noun capitalized and punctuated only by the profuse Usage of the Em-Dash — it is a deceptively challenging Instinct to resist, & worse is that Instinct when spelling certain Words to utilize what would, some Centuries prior, be an appropriate Spelling, excepting that my Correspondence occurs in the Twenty-First Century, where Men are inflexible and uncreative in their Methods, & this Propensity of mine would appear only foolish & incorrect, instead of suggesting what it in actuality reflects, which is that I am simply an Incorrigible Nerd — O! the Woes of modern Sociability! Why should I be compelled to conform to these d——d modern Conventions! Is it not enough to be unabashedly and impudently Autistic?

Gnosticism is just so *weird*

trying to use twitter more, on the theory that scrolling twitter is so viscerally unpleasant that it might actually get me to put down my phone

One of the RAs at my boarding school did a thing where if he caught you with chewing tobacco, he'd take your dip bottle and go, "If you can drink this and keep it down, I won't write you up."

As behavior-reducing interventions go, I'd rather attempt that than browse twitter more tbh.

okay sorry for binging your back archive of poasts (I’m sure I follow you on Twitter?) but I feel I must plug my article about boarding schools
