@wydna777 Oh, man. This is like 2014 on steroids. Cherubic profile picture? Essays? Is the Tower Society back?! I non-stop think of that one essay you wrote on Collection As Learning. Thanks for this! I can't wait to read it! The side notes are killer, man.
There is a new pseudcast episode up with Ed where we talk about the book Double Fold, and the OSS and CIA connections to microfilm technology, along with the issues of destructive scanning and AI. Also mummies. Very timely discussion. https://t.co/Lb0kaMAlVI
@wydna777 Really awesome. I have done the year-long piss technique myself, though it was of canine origin rather than feline. Exact same method, same results. Thanks for this!!! I can't wait for the essay!
@wydna777 I still can't believe that the Ossian Poems are now just easy to order new printings of on Amazon and stuff, same with the kind of hodge-podged "restoration" of Sidney's Arcadia ed. Ross & Davis. I spent ages trying to get OET editions of the Arcadias. Need to go relisten to this
@Logo_Daedalus Learned how to read fully independently by three years old at home. I'll never forget my first day of school, and the disappointment and dread that immediately set in surrounded by a circus of illiterate children ringled by incompetent fools masquerading as "teachers."
@wydna777 So much of that stuff was done with a brush, and it was just beautiful. I could stare into those strips for hours as a kid. Setting up gags and telling these little fragments in weekly dispatches was very Schlegelian and Novalic
@wydna777 Increasingly, more and more of my reading and studying is done on my computer screen or just my phone. That's what my life has adjusted to. Part of me had always thought that people would want to read the books with me one day, that my kids would be able to have any book on hand.
@wydna777 I've studied them all and love them and know them like the back of my hand. I have scanned the most precious and rare, inaccessible ones. Others, I have digital copies of. I have binders and notebooks filled with notes. It feels like having them physically is all for nothing.
