Lo! You found a Thing out in the wild that reminded you of your current bullshit!

Plot Twist! You are now into this Thing as well!

Oh so we're at the Ordering Fabric Swatches stage, are we? Fantastic thanks.

Oh, so we're at the stupid mockup and obscure interlibrary loan stage now are we? Wonderful.

#I am once again back on my obscure bullshit #periodically the 18th century pops out of the woodwork and takes over my entire brain #currently in the throes of shoe quest #pour one out for The Met and its excellent selection of references #alas most modern options aren't remotely saucy enough for what I'm after and I'm loathe to shell out $300 for historical repros #that also aren't saucy enough #okay but getting absolutely sent by Ivor Guest tho and the sheer amounts of tabloid-esque deets he's got on everyone at #the time #bonus points for Marat's gnarly old breeches there are placeholders for now

someone accused me of feigning a sexual attraction to spiders for clout. there's easier ways to get clout, man.....

Someone once called my 22 minute hand sewn 18th century buttonhole tutorial video "Empty, clout driven content" so I think some people will just say anything.

Had a soul-searing moment where I sat unblinking trying to figure out what a "hand sewn 18th century butthole" could be for, until I read that again.

Excellent timing, @vinceaddams. I've been queuing up some resources for 18th century butthol- I MEAN buttonholes, so this will be very useful 🤌🏻

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.

Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.

"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.

You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

Bad News, Lads!

The Hyperfixation Pendulum™ is swinging back to Fancy Useless Men (versus Practical Soldier Men), so expect more incoherent spam about 18th c. dudes with 52-word long Wikipedia pages.

Dude in presentation about pirates: "And he dressed very finely and would commonly recruit captured musicians to provide music for his own crew."

Brain: 👀

Me: "DO NOT"

#we're gonna go very full very early 18th century at one point friends #child-tailor was desperately jealous of the kid in Hook getting a kid-sized copy of the Hook fit #so gonna need a do-over in adulthood sometime

Deeply delighted by the HMCS Sackville and its garbage bag full of U-Boats.

Maybe if I just work harder, this empty cup will pour again

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Question 3/3

Presentations over Microsoft Teams are so weird. How can I tell if anyone is laughing at my shitty jokes

#please these jokes were tailor-made #anyway telling the army how the army works as a military historian is weird but no one seemed to get mad #so we're counting this one as a success
