Gonna write a posthumanist farce where the protagonist is an academic listserv. Gonna call it “The Pearl-Clutchers”

"Each of the expensively bound anthropodermic volumes... was an upper-class creation of a prestige artifact fabricated literally out of the grotesque bodies of the poor and dispossessed. Books bound in human skin were devices to enhance the social position of their owners, exhibiting them as connoisseurs of finely crafted objects accumulated by a discriminating class, and as priestly magicians transforming the bodies and fates of others"

@inquiline That is disturbing on a visceral level

isposdef,
@isposdef@alaskan.social avatar

@inquiline Oh yeah that was absolutely part of my gut reaction. I’m glad people are working to bring attention to this and fix things insofar as that is possible. I’m also not surprised that this has taken so long for Harvard to acknowledge and deal with. I’ll be keeping an eye out for other institutions to (quietly) follow their lead.

@inquiline > Antiquarian bookseller Tim Bryars, who runs a shop in London's Cecil Court, said that "anthropodermic biblopegy has a grisly pull on everyone who has heard of it, booksellers included"

Speak for yourself buddy…

The book at Harvard feels like a very particular encapsulation of class, gender and disability

@seachanger Social Stigma Surrounding Conspicuous Consumption Reaches All Time High

Billionaires are virtually unable to appear in public as protesters dressed as nuns from the formerly popular Game of Thrones television program consistently surround them with ringing bells and shouts of “Shame!”

I love my dog, but I’m not a big fan of being woken up at 2:45am so he can go outside to lick more rain off the sidewalk.

@seachanger I’m usually the lighter sleeper, and got conditioned to jump out of bed after a few accidents early on

One of my favorite features of the Mona app (iOS) that I haven’t seen elsewhere is the ability not only add notes about other accounts, but to edit their display name and change the display color. I don’t always want to block obnoxious accounts personally when it would be better to keep an eye on them for reason to block them at the instance level if their behavior escalates.

Here's a question that shouldn't be too controversial here:

What Linux distribution should I install and why?

Please boost I'm super curious I'd love to learn what's out there now.

@rooster If you want a pretty full-featured i3 setup out of the box, I’ve been using Regolith installed on top of plain Ubuntu and enjoying it.

Huh, so the word "yacht" comes from the Dutch "jacht" which means "hunt" because the original yachts were small, fast sailboats used in the Dutch Republic for hunting down smugglers and illegal fishing boats.

Yacht clubs started when rich guys and volunteer coast guard-type organizations would have "fake hunts" for practice, to see who would catch a hypothetical criminal first -- which slowly morphed into just yacht racing over time.

I’m ready to get the current Covid vax (over 3 months since I had Covid) and wondering which one to get? I’ve had all Moderna so far. Is there a benefit to doing Novavax at this point?

isposdef,
@isposdef@alaskan.social avatar

@inquiline @seachanger I’ll second fewer weird side effects from Novavax! I got shingles after my initial Moderna series, then a week of migraines after the Pfizer booster. Novavax was a couple days feeling off.
