2021-03-21T07:27:54-00:00	imagemagick is ....dang.
2021-03-21T07:31:11-00:00	I figured out that if you look at cut-and-fold zines in terms of two page spreads (which makes sense because there's no gutter so you can have content flow across the centerfold) you get chunks the same aspect ratio as full sheets of paper so they can be done large and scaled down
2021-03-21T07:32:21-00:00	this is more meaningful for 11 by 17 inch paper and the micromini one page zine fold that lets you have 7 spreads + cover at those same aspect ratios as the normal letter size paper
2021-03-21T07:34:32-00:00	that layout is sort of annoying,though--youre gonna have a bad time trying to do it in something like word or Google docs. enter imagemagick! with enough finagling, I figured out a command that lets me even out imperfect scan sizes with blank padding, resize everything appropriately, do the necessary concatenation and rotation,and convert to PDF.

2021-04-22T22:37:06-00:00	even lefty people thinking that immigration is good only as long as immigrants maintain less power in their community than they do. yeah, maybe they're so *graciously* going to say they're okay with brown people coming here to do back-breaking work for pittances, but as soon as it's californians moving to other states, programmers from other countries getting $$$ jobs here -- they can say abolish borders but there's an awful lot of policing of boundaries that look an awful lot like borders to me

2021-05-13T07:46:07-00:00	I just read Docile by K. M. Szpara. I don't think it needs a full review on my website, so here goes: bits of this felt a bit too perfectly therapized, and sins too neatly swept over. Maybe it could have used a few more edit passes to tighten up the plot/cast. That said, it was a good read, even for me as someone who reads 0 m/m stuff. More speculative fiction stuff should commit to exploring one idea thoroughly. Definitely read CWs for the book first!

2021-08-12T17:52:01-00:00	it's really really fascinating how people on both sides of incremental vs. revolutionary theories of change use the same rhetorical appeal to "this is too important to approach the other way!"
2021-08-12T18:12:07-00:00	this is *not* the same way that the opponents of the change characterize the two sides' proponents. pro-change incrementalists tend to say "we can't wait for feasibility of revolution to make things better", not "revolutions end up with monsters in charge." pro-change revolutionists tend to say "your incremental improvements aren't going to improve things without attacking the root", not "regulations lead to government capture" or whatever.

2021-08-19T17:58:15-00:00	most of the time when people use "tribe" in its metaphorical sense they should be using "herd". I am specifically thinking of growing up with goats. they are miserable on their own to the point of suffering health effects and are excellent at each casually pretending the decision of the group (e.g., to move to the lower pasture) happened to be their own personal inclination.
2021-08-19T19:28:58-00:00	also, despite the fact that it's metaphorically deployed as a derogative 99 times out of 100, herding behaviors in reality are often adaptive and prosocially efficient and have nothing to do with herd animals being stupid.

2021-08-21T17:27:54-00:00	I'm really suspicious of people lamenting what new technology has done to us who don't seem to recognize the positive things people have done with it too. But at the same time the whole Bay Area optimism is... so not my bag.
2021-08-21T17:29:13-00:00	I don't mean on the strict sense of "are you really sure what you do on this wifi is worth the environmental and human cost of extracting the rare earth elements necessary to provide it", I mean in the sense that people worry about the social impact (within postindustrial society) of XYZ tech thing the kids are doing nowadays
2021-08-21T17:41:34-00:00	like if you're engaging with e.g. what "the internet" has done to "attention spans" favoring short-form content but you're not even briefly acknowledging how bitches are out here writing fanfiction hundreds of thousands of words long, maybe you're not taking a wide enough lens on your topic
2021-08-21T17:42:54-00:00	totally niche vs. twitter MAUs? sure, absolutely. but there are a lot of niches. it's easier to say "the screens have made us weak and stupid, look at the popular things that are bad" than to try and make a consequentialist argument that actually encompasses *all* of the internet, because the latter is .... probably pretty impossible
2021-08-21T17:45:36-00:00	if you have a piece bemoaning our Big Web Corporate Overlords without directing attention at the people and small groups doing cool stuff on the web, I'm not interested. and if you have a techshiny optimism piece about the future of VR that doesn't reckon with the divide in good and bad shit there is now (and that there will be more of in the future), I'm not interested. thus despite being super fascinated by the web i find a lot of writing about it not worthwhile
2021-08-21T17:46:28-00:00	probably nothing most anybody does on the wifi is worth the rare earth elements.
2021-08-21T17:48:40-00:00	VR is a super arbitrary example I guess. genuinely excited to see the "metaverse" that weird furries build the infra for, and not excited to see any other "metaverse"

2021-08-24T18:47:04-00:00	"but November isn't in Halloween season" Halloween is about the dead, the dead are allocated all of November, q.e.d. Halloween season
2021-08-24T18:50:27-00:00	feeling my way out here, I'm gonna guess that late Halloween season is most appropriate for horror, and November for the ancestors and Shakespeare and all that.... but what of Early Halloween

The strength and light weight of plastic containers may reduce carbon emissions in transport, but their lifecycle involves health-impacting chemical pollution. Even when carbon emission lifecycles can be estimated, that isn't a number you can line up for comparison against, e.g., the cancers of folks in the countries where that plastic ends up burned. Resist simplifying these issues.

2021-10-17T05:11:55-00:00	I have a theory about an attribute of social media and I want to bounce it off ppl to see if it seems like A Thing to y'all
2021-10-17T05:12:50-00:00	people have talked about context collapse before, where your internet presentation isn't able to be segmented into what you'd show church people, employers, peers, family, etc., and it's all just one context
2021-10-17T05:14:46-00:00	but of course we know that in practical terms, people don't *use* social media as if the context were absolutely everyone in their lives seeing it. that's why it's always awkward when a Bad Tweet goes viral and it's clear the tweeter was using Twitter to chat within their social network, with a thicker context, where more subtle ironies and such might be expressed.... but actually they were posting publicly also
2021-10-17T05:17:27-00:00	my theory is that there's something particularly psychologically stressful about having to deal with Schrodinger's Audience: when you put something out there, you have to adopt a tone of humility appropriate to only a few people, maybe your close contacts seeing it... but you also have to communicate as though you might be talking to Absolutely Everyone. and you don't really control which.
2021-10-17T05:19:20-00:00	tiktok seems really prone to this since 100% of discovery there is algorithmically mediated, but I remember getting the sense of this in tumblr days. you could tell sometimes there'd be something cringey about a response where a person was writing as if they expected to go viral, to have thousands of reactions back them up, but... they were just some kid, you know? and yet, they *might have.*
2021-10-17T06:47:51-00:00	I guess the key here is that most of the time, functionally, it *is* only that small circle seeing it... there's just... a slight chance otherwise
2021-10-17T06:51:05-00:00	https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2142694884/the-chemical-wedding-by-john-crowley <\- I have this and I love it and ... how can I buy more copies of really nice new translations of old texts like this? they don't even have to be as nice, physical object-wise.... i'm sick of only dealing with centuries-old translations because they're public domain
2021-10-17T06:51:43-00:00	https://www.grimoire.org/grimoire/cyranides/ please tell me there's an english translation of this that doesn't suck ass
2021-10-17T08:00:17-00:00	this seems *different* somehow than the long-feared "but what if my boss sees my weekend partying". that's someone outside the intended audience seeing it. instead it's about... not even clearly intending an audience to communicate to, I guess, because of how stochastic it all feels
2021-10-18T07:02:52-00:00	a fun thing, and by fun I mean kind of cursed, is that once something reaches the canon of public health advice, it's never possible to measure its effect using simple latitudinal surveys ever again. why?
2021-10-18T07:04:04-00:00	well, let's say I hack into all the CDC websites and tell everyone that gummy vitamins are very dangerous during pregnancy, very dangerous, and must be avoided. I get someone to go on Oprah about it. the advice is Out There.
2021-10-18T07:04:50-00:00	now, before that point, we'd expect gummy vitamins to have basically 0 association with health during pregnancy. after my hack, though, the association will appear, clear as day, in all the relevant data.
2021-10-18T07:06:21-00:00	that's because as long as *most* health advice isn't absolute garbage, people who follow it in *aggregate* are going to have better *outcomes* in aggregate than those who don't. so now in our example, avoiding gummy vitamins is statistically tied up with all the health advice that *isn't* meaningless.
2021-10-18T07:07:23-00:00	there's also a complication with blah blah education blah blah class blah blah trust in authorities blah blah people who were more likely to have good material circumstance... but you would still have this same problem even without that complication, which is *wild*.
2021-10-18T07:09:21-00:00	I read about this because someone was trying to analyze how big a deal alcohol use during pregnancy really is, and it turns out it's really really really hard to disentangle from all the other stuff people aren't supposed to be doing while pregnant.

2021-12-12T18:57:48-00:00	anyway, public radio seems to consciously explore podcasts as another side of their coin -- broadcasting some made-for-podcasts as programming, making sausage of its proper programming as podcasts... to me it seems to work well, though I can't vouch for the economics. what are other equivalent pairings of convenience-tech and open-access tech?

2022-02-06T05:37:53-00:00	his name is lutz kirchhof and in 2000 he released an album called "Lute Music for Witches and Alchemists". in 2000. i believe in my heart he did this out of a genuine sense it was the best title and not with any SEO-type logic.
2022-02-06T05:39:48-00:00	nevertheless a number of dorks like me, disproportionate to the general lute fanbase, were willing to type "alchemist" into spotify search and scroll through the results have come across this album. reader, it slaps. it opens on "The Fairy Round (Galliard)" and continues strong through the whole album.
2022-02-06T05:43:28-00:00	this album is everything that classical guitar aims to be and isn't. it merits the attention. yet when the spotify people noticed this did they shine a greater light on, perhaps, another of lutz's albums? no they released a playlist with a copycat name that they've now renamed to "medieval vibes" but you can see it still comes up (WITH OTHER COPYCATS) for the "alchemists" search (note I didn't search "lute", they are TRYING to ride on my man lutz's good work)
2022-02-06T05:45:44-00:00	anyway, the call to action here is to accept no substitutes, support the original lutenist to witches/alchemists https://www.amazon.com/Lute-Music-Witches-Alchemists-Kirchhof/dp/B0013AUULK https://music.apple.com/us/album/lute-music-for-witches-and-alchemists/213762208 https://tidal.com/browse/album/642940 https://open.spotify.com/album/3PdQWrrT44V9EoZjhccESU

I've seen that as my failing, but it does come so often... long-dead writers feel less threatening, so it's easy enough to handle the canon. maybe I'll stick to the dead.
