most notable non-professional uses of my graduate degree so far 1. cleaning the tarnish off my earrings with a pencil eraser 2. altering my sister's bathroom door so it doesn't get stuck when closed and 3. knowing what to do when discovering a water leak in my parent's closet

I just wanted to make a pretty graph but I couldn’t figure out how to move the text box so this is what I ended up with

Me working on a problem set trying to pull up the right lecture slides for a specific question: which episode did we learn about that

Reading about hides and leather and it turns out that the skin covering an animal’s butt is….you guessed it….called “the butt”

We also get to learn that butt leather is the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Who knew

I came across the word "furrier" in one of my readings, which turns out to be the term for "a person who prepares or deals in furs." I wonder if furriers ever sell furs to furries for fursuits

I just learned that early European papermakers made paper from old rags and textile scraps and they called the processed fibers ready to become paper “stuff”

Ca you imagine a guy in the late 1790’s going “this stuff is horrid” or like saying to their apprentice “go on boy, prepare the stuff”

“Today you will learn how to make stuff”

It’s like the Tiffany problem post
