In case you are thinking about going to school and becoming a conservator for a library with a large and convoluted mix of collections, know this:
Your pockets and desk will be FULL of these kinds of little notes that you will only kinda sorta remember their purpose when you find them days later.

And your camera roll on your phone will be littered with pictures of books and archival boxes that you know have problems that need to be investigated later.

The first museum object I’m conserving - a Roman black burnished ware jar!
It’s honestly crazy to think that I started my programme 4 weeks ago and now I’m being trusted with such a cool artefact. I’ll likely fix up previous attempts at conservation and attach pieces that have broken off
Obligatory pictures of pictures I took of it earlier lmao

What do we really know about how ancient peoples understood and used color in their art, architecture, and clothing? And how do conservators analyze and treat ancient pigments? We sat in on a class at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures to find out.

Lies and Lying Liars
When we speak truth, we are truly speaking. We speak our Word. Our greatest bond is when we give our Word. Unfortunately, we often swim daily through a sea of lies. Not your close friends, but many others will speak falsely including, of course politicians and the corporate news-propagandists. A culture built on lies is not to be believed, trusted, or revered. Liars think they are getting…

Something I find very interesting about this CEO assassination is that the guy who did it has basically become an American hero.
They're probably quite worried about what will happen when they catch this guy, especially with the level of public support he has. If they catch him alive and he gets to air his grievances, he could unite the entire country against the private healthcare system. It could go to trial and result in jury nullification, which would basically send a message to the American public that catching a rich body comes without consquences.
If they kill him to keep his mouth shut, I'd say people will burn cities to the ground, and it could potentially provoke even more anger against private health insurance. In a powder keg, it only takes one person lighting the match.
I know it sounds over the top, but a figurehead is a powerful thing, and that's what this shooter is. The rich understand it. That's why Blue Cross just magically decided they were going to pay for anesthesia again. Those dead-eyed psychopaths were going to take everything they could until someone shot that guy and that's the gospel truth.
Keep the hate fire burning. Watching their fear is the closest I've come to knowing joy since the Bush administration.

This pretty much summarizes how it feels knowing what's going to be coming and just having to take it.

This is coming from the same people who want the government to force preteens to give birth.
It's also coming from the same people who judge people for being childfree.
