Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

No, no, you see: all YA books are derivative and tropey, except the one I read at 14 that permanently rearranged my neurons. That one is good.

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. "it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for "omegaverse" also leads to "alpha/beta/omega dynamics" and "alternate universe: a/b/o" and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it's completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

Bueno, vuelvo con info relevante e importante (es una redundancia? No sé ni me importa):

A esta altura calculo que todos conocemos qué pasó con los lotes contaminados de fentanilo de HLB Eharma y Lab. Ramallo. Esos lotes por alguna razón (aka gobierno deficiente y abandonico) siguen en circulación. El fentanilo es de uso rutinario, así que en el caso de que tengan que operarse de algo, pidan que el fentanilo que usen NO sea de los lotes 31202 y 31244, y en lo posible, que no usen NINGÚN producto de HLB Pharma/Lab. Ramallo, y déjenlo por escrito. En general, si un lote tiene una contaminación es probable que todos los productos estén contaminados o tengan algún tipo de problema. Estuve chusmeando y HLB tuvo un montón de productos suspendidos en los últimos 18 meses, no son para nada confiables.

Cuidense mucho.

I really think we should stop saying "kid-friendly" and start saying "ad-friendly". We shouldn't indulge these companies and their excuses anymore. I also think that continuing to pretend that this is about "protecting the children" pushes a lot of the blame onto kids and teens, who don't have the political power to push through any of this censorship legislature. Corporations and governments are to blame.

old people really don't like when you say "no problem" as a response to thank you; try "and I'll do it again too, you rotten son of a bitch"
