The Great Covid Cleanup. I spent two days in LastPass updating passwords on my accounts because I became a thrall to my security dashboard rating. Then I spent another two days excavating and reordering files in my Evernote. My computer got the grand cleanup in the Spring when I was moving Steam out of my system…

I wish her rest, she’s earned it.

Thank you for the write up. I wish primary schools did a more thorough job in teaching this information. 

I’m shocked to say I do not remember this. I should. I was sneaking into clubs to dance to the 90's big band revival and the “world music” section at Borders was my home away from home. Ah, the 90s...

these tracks ain’t shit compared to the greatest 16th century banger, Pastime with Good Company written by King Henry VIII

I saw some of these videos recently and greatly enjoyed them. I liked the relaxed style and the lyrical turns of phrase were funny.

I never expected them to be authentic, any more than I expect Postmodern Jukebox to be authentic.

I liked the peek into how medieval music ‘worked’ in this article though. It reminded me…

I saw the exhibit at the Portrait Gallery and it was great. I often go to see exhibits at the National Archives and they’re always great, I’m sure this one is good too. I’m kind of stunned that they’d use this image to begin with, when they absolutely did not need to and it was bound to stir up controversy in one way…

I vaguely recall it- though I have to admit I’d either forgotten or didn’t realize it was a Burns production. If I remember - the first part about Cady and Anthony was much better than the second half about the decades after. I was disappointed because it was just a few years after Colorado’s Centennial celebration…

Wish I were in DC so I could see it in person. The altered photo aside (and I did submit a comment to the National Archives about it) - the website for Rightfully Hers made me happy right off the bat because they got the 19th amendment right. I am so tired of the inaccurate “women couldn’t vote before 1920" and the…

Well, we know Chewbacca has a wife, a son and a cantankerous pervert of a father.

Copyright lawyer here. This sort of thing has actually been going on for a long, long time, with governments large and small, and it’s almost always about money. Either there’s some sweetheart deal with a publisher, as you have here, or the municipal entity itself wants to sell its official documents. Georgia’s…

George Lucas Sr. ran a stationery store.

But unfortunately all those settings don’t actually keep the spam events from being added to your calendar. With the settings, you aren’t shown the events, but if you share your calendar with someone, they still see them. Then, to delete the spam events, you have to turn the setting back off so you can see the event…

Goodness, Emily. This article comes across as all kinds of snarky. Yes, the LDS community believes that consuming certain chemicals like caffeine are harmful. Live and let live, sister. *This* is what you’re going to call them to task for?!

It’s called fry sauce, god damnit.

It’s taken me years, but I finally learned to let go of nerd trinkets. The turning point for me was when I realized I had a bunch of crap lying around for things that I didn’t really like anymore, and yet I was still dusting them or trying to find storage space for them.

Honestly, I didn’t know that it wasn’t okay for people to treat me that way.  That came with time!  One time I was at Walmart buying diapers (because even though I felt bad shopping there, it was so much cheaper and I was broke) and the cashier asked “exactly how old were you when you had your daughter?”  When I…

“I didn’t have much experience of how to organize domesticity.”

As a single ambitious woman, I sighed reading “highly educated guy who’s confident enough to not get in the way of a comparably highly educated woman’s aspirations and accomplishments.” That’s my dream spouse.
