The European Central Bank has revealed proposed designs for new Euro bank notes, and is taking feedback.
Which do you prefer, and why?
For any European mutuals who, like me, are sickeningly jealous of Brazilian reais with their neat animals, now's your chance!!! Bird currency!!!
reading Balzac's Seraphita and this mf is romanticizing Norwegian peasants???
"the luscious Northern vegetables"

Do yall want me to live post through my writing process for this paper on mystic women and disability
reposting this comment on the main post because it’s incredible and you’re so right @aprillikesthings
Would I ever want to like, hang out with her? Have dinner with her? Absolutely not.
Am I glad she existed? That she was a constant thorn in the side of so many people? That she called out shitty priests?
And that she had it all written down for her from her own perspective? 100% YES
For those of you who don't know: She lived in the late 1300's to mid 1400's. She was English and middle class, and married and had fourteen children--at which point she told her husband God had asked her to be chaste. (Which was actually a struggle for her, side note.)
She was prone to having visions during mass that caused fits of hysterical sobbing, writhing on the floor, and wailing. I cannot exaggerate the degree to which people found her incredibly irritating! But courageously dealing with others' hatred of her was part of her devotion to God, so people complaining always backfired lol.
She was tried for heresy multiple times, as well as preaching (which was illegal for a woman to do)--but was never convicted.
She went on numerous pilgrimages (including the Camino), annoying the shit out of people all across Europe and the Holy Land. She also met Julian of Norwich, who said her visions were genuine but also told her to maybe cool it a little with the hysterics lol.
And we know all this because she wrote (well, dictated; she was illiterate) what is considered the first autobiography in English! It's called The Book of Margery Kempe.
More info at wikipedia, of course.
There's a very good novel about her life and Julian of Norwich's life! It's called For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain by Victoria Mackenzie. Quite short, like 150 pages.
This is the longest post I've ever seen about Margery Kempe that doesn't mention how bad she wanted to make love to Jesus.
Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.
If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.
Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.
I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.
But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.
Like to charge. Reblog to cast that Anthropic will have to pay out the ass.

I hope they lose very badly. I'm fortunate that I'm a "young" enough researcher that none of my papers have made it into the database, but BOTH my parents are in here, several times over, as are various friends, mentors, teachers and colleagues, none of who are wealthy, all of whom have taken teaching and research jobs for genuine love of knowledge.
For Meta to steal that work and use it to enrich billionaires while at the same time spreading harmful misinformation and doing their part to dilute genuine scientific knowledge is such a violation of their work.
I hope they go bankrupt. I hope they go bankrupt SO HARD that it takes down a good chunk of the AI industry. I know that may not be very realistic but god, what assholes.
ALL kinktober submissions must include:
A description DURING sex of the lovers' tripartite relationship with God.

It must be thoroughly clear that a SPIRITUAL LOVE is coming and the bodily habits associated with it will gradually come to WITHER AWAY.
Please make it clear whether or not your characters think that the BOLSHEVIKS are the object of the APOCALYPTIC LONGING of our POETS.
