I was trying to use the Word for Web to work on a grant application and my text just disappeared? Undo/version history do not show me deleting it. I am ready to go back to floppy disks, you guys

Starting July 1 there will be new limits on student loans for MLS students under the limited understanding of what fits as a "professional" degree.
This limit is going to further restrict access to the field.
I haven't seen anywhere near enough discussion of this (truthfully, none) by pro orgs. 📚
Feeling just generally insane trying to do anything in my office. Not actively preoccupied by world events and nothing particularly bad is happening at work, but I am ready to ride the photocopier down the stairs
as someone who dresses like a lesser member of the bene gesserit, dress shopping for a wedding with an unknown climate control situation is stressing me tf out
seems like a good day to notify everyone that lynch's dune is on netflix
The other day our curator suggested using AI for someone's retirement video and I was like "should I just **** myself"
(am I going to go the Bluesky jail if I don't censor this)
::gestures at big ole overlapping venn diagram of genAI psychosis and climate denial::
Because I know the leak my landlord is ignoring will eventually cause a huge problem, I have now secured a second storage unit. I'm going to basically be showering and sleeping at the apartment and keeping all my stuff in storage... which is still cheaper than RI rent
I have absolutely crashed today and could use some motivation to do any part of my job
being “radicalized by Greta Thunberg” just means femmes aren’t eating shit anymore hope that clears it up
Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you
Sat in my living room last night and watched the new development of wasps or something engaged in building a nest on the eaves of the bay window. My landlord will probably try to charge them rent
I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr
1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment
heated chivalry
Bluesky error message in a red banner reading “Not enough resources”
Relatable, though.
Don't love that we are having a thunderstorm at 2am
What's your most idiot-proof resource to share about data centers contributing to climate change and water shortages? People in my department are talking about an AI-generated contribution to someone's retirement video and I am going to throw my computer out the window
Does anyone have insight into how “Proquest Biographies” of authors/historical figures are created? I’ve copied a (paywalled) link to one example below
This is the resource one of my grad students believes used/stole his dissertation research—they’re encyclopedia-style but include zero citations
Thank you!! 😭🥵 We have to get the goths through climate change
what people think archival work is like
My mom, brother, and I are cradle Catholics and so my dad had been going to church with us for years, but he still went through a year of RCIA classes to convert. I will be texting him about this
2-yr Postdoc @ Indiana in the History of Black Writing Research Center to highlight Black archival collections across the country.

pope leo: murder is bad
every republican: how dare you mention me
I am a woman (apparently) on antidepressants with an undiagnosed hormonal problem my doctors do not care about because I am not trying to have a baby, so I am hot ALWAYS, but unfortunately for my linen needs I am also a weird little goth
The temperature has hit 60 which means that I am back in hardcore linen shopping mode. Is there a legitimate dye reason why linen only comes in pastels or tropical colors, or is it just the limits of designer imaginations when they think of summer?
I've been checking in and apparently people get excommunicated all the time
Hampshire College to close permanently after fall 2026 semester Emma McCorkindale
While Hampshire’s case is in some ways unique, it is amazing to think that in a single lifetime - about 70 years - the US founded the greatest public and liberal arts college system in the world and then destroyed it, to build prisons, give tax cuts to the rich, and own the libs
I screamed and had to show my office mates lmfao
Having one of those afternoons where I'm looking at French Wikipedia pretending I know what's going on
