Stained glass window in St Mary’s Church, Banbury - Pictured here is HMS Terror stuck in the ice. The images was taken from the Arctic reports and notebook of Admiral Sir George Back during his Arctic expedition in 1836. It was commissioned by Henry Back, the admiral’s brother and vicar of the church in c. 1860.

i love translators’ notes. i love seeing a little footnote that’s like “compare my good and grass-touching translation to the STUPID translations of smith and johnson, who rendered the passage ‘xyz’ because their heads are so far up their ass they’re giving ouroboroses body dysmorphia” or “this sentence isn’t translated very well, but that’s because the author wasn’t making any FUCKING sense”

absolutely wild that [redacted event] is happening at [redacted location] today too. what even is this place

#unfortunately the event and location would make me instantly triangulatable #sophies ramblings

whyyyy is my dept head emailing me at 8am on a saturday. boy.....

i'm being just as bad and replying because i'm probably going to run into him this afternoon anyway, so we might as well get a head start on the conversation. I guess.

#sophies ramblings #the nature of living in a very small college down is that my young colleagues group chat is all going to this thing #and bc my head of dept lives in town he will almost certainly be there to. lmao #he will be seeing me in ripped jeans and a band tshirt because i am 29 and it is the summer. i have no obligations to you sir

i know it's probably asking a lot, logistically, but at the same time, would it kill people to write a wee little program to convert special character code to the actual special character when creating OCR'd text. i know that they aren't included in the barest of plaintext, but it would be nice to not have to remember what unicode or whatever i'm looking at.

#sophies ramblings #actually. maybe i should. it would make using the histoire ecclesiastique a lot less annoying

#sophies ramblings #i know it's doable small scale bc ive done it #a friend wanted a text document broken down word for word which is pretty easy to do #(put in file and write program to make a list by essentially cutting it space by space. you get some errors but not that many)#but then i had to go back and fix all the accented characters in the resulting CSV #AND some nbsp stuff #but that was like a quick 10 min thing.

This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

#friend time tomorrow :)

so i'm hearing that That Movie is doing 16th century reception

#sophies ramblings #this is SPECIFICALLY about the references to the age of bronze ending. let me get out ronsard #LMAO god of course it's hydra and not discours. i only make the most niche of references #the lines i thought of are “Un siecle. non. ny de fer ny de cuivre / Mais de bourbier en vices nompareil”#(periods should be commas)#there's technically also hesiodic intertext with the whole sons turning on fathers etc in the discours (and every other WoR era work...)

trying to phrase "his death is super yuckily described" in professional terms. in case you're wondering, it involves stinking open sores infested with vermin.

#we're going with 'described in excruciating detail' for now #sophies ramblings

one of the funnier examples of environmental storytelling is perhaps the "title no longer than 15 words" restriction on a lot of calls for papers in my field

#sophies ramblings #to be clear concision is a good thing #but it IS funny and we ARE bad about it #(my current title is 11 words lol)

this abstract seems so lacklusterrrrrr
