RECALL: Rgw ewreuwcK ID UBDIENruib ub wgucg tge

Generally, I’m quite good at typing without looking at the keyboard/computer screen, and going back to fix things that I instinctively know are mistyped, still without looking. This was not one of those times.

(Translation: RECALL: The retrieval of information in which the… (the rest of the intended sentence, for those of you who really want to know, is “processor must generate most of the information without aids.”))

I didn't dress up for Halloween.

originalist:

And I haven’t for years.

Instead, Brittany and I: sat around, watched tv (Halloweentown! and other stuff, I guess), bothered each other with our feet, walked to Sheetz and got food items, watched P.S. I Love You, and are watching the Penguins game on TV right now.

…MAYBE I’M PATHETIC. I’m cool with that.

remember when we trick or treated as wizard rockers back in high school?

When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. “This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar” she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’

It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?

Sandi Toksvig lists ten unsung heroines, from the inventor of the cotton gin to a queen who led her troops into battle wearing an iron leg - the world’s first known use of a prosthesis. (via bingoparaphernalia) (via gauntlet) (via robot-heart) (via fallingdeep)

HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS BOOK. Can you guess what it’s about? NOPE. It’s the Historical Atlas of the Rice Plantations of Georgetown County and the Santee River. A book about rice plantations. In a single county in South Carolina. Yup.
This book is HEAVY.

I see your single-county rice plantation book and raise you…
crap, I sent my big books home for the year.
