Hey. Hey everyone.
Can I convince you all to make a purchase for #LesbianVisibilityWeek? It's a single book. A novella. It's $2. But it's the best sapphic book I've read. And I want to do something nice for someone who has had a rough go of late.

An embroidery with tea and coffee labeled in Chinese.
Last week's assignment was to create a data set from your life, but Celine Heck took it a step further and embroidered it too! This is her caffeinated beverage intake for the week. Chinese was easier than Latin for embroidering the labels, a #MultilingualDH win on top of it all! #DHmakes
Meme with a photo of a fountain drink machine with a cup sitting under two nozzles (red and blue), a hand pushing both buttons at once and liquid coming from both nozzles. The blue (left) drink is labelled "grateful for the insight I have gained from all my experiences" and the red (right) drink is labelled "still thinks some of that sh*t should not have happened". The hand is labelled "me".
a correction notice in the print edition of today's financial times. it reads as follows: Correction • Researcher Brené Brown was misquoted in an interview published on April 6. She described herself as "solidly in my fuck it era" rather than "solidly in my fucking era".
very pleased to report everyone's favorite @financialtimes.com correction today is, in fact, in the print edition too

just write it terrible for five minutes and see where it goes. or write questions to yourself into the draft—“what the fuck goes here, i don’t know, but it’s something about blah blah this will sound smarter later” is acceptable rough draft material

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them
He's a pretty birb!

And immediately calls the marketing team 😂

Illustration of three cats baking pies in a kitchen. One is carrying a basket of berries, one is making a pie crust, and one is carrying a pie (with oven mitts) fresh from the oven. They're all wearing little aprons and handkerchiefs.
Illustration of the hobbits - (left to right) Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry - returning home to the Shire, a cozy sunset welcoming them.
Illustration of a ghost scooping apple cider out of a cauldron into a mug, beside a stall selling apple cider donuts, caramel apples, and fresh apples displayed in a barrel. There's a creature behind the stall, of just two eyes and hands, and an orchard in the background.
Illustration of a ghost, at sunset, raking falling leaves. There are jack-o-lantern style leaf bags propped by a tree. And in the distance, a black cat is playing with the falling leaves.
