I've been intending to do this for ages, but I finally finished the inaugural post for my Ko-Fi. I'm practicing my librarian/archivist/blogging muscles and posting about works in the public domain. Stop by and take a look and maybe get me some of that great virtual caffeine!

It's very cool. And a bunch of people moved to different seats so I'm now sprawling much more comfortably across about three of them.

After complaints about Timothy Dexter's A Pickle for the Knowing Ones (1797) being entirely devoid of punctuation, in future editions the eccentric businessman supplied a supplemental page so that people “may peper and solt as they please”: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/dexter-pickle

Overheard in the hallway, one of the students talking to his girlfriend: "How do you say thank you in Spanish? I just realized you've only yelled at me in Spanish, you haven't taught me manners."

My anesthesiologist was so genuinely kind to me in my recent surgery and I'm trying to imagine having that experience but it's Peter Wingfield who comes into your room!??!!?!?

Unexpected moment of joy: Finding out that Peter Wingfield, who played Methos on Highlander and was beloved of many people I know (I also enjoyed his episodes as Tanith on SG-1), is an anesthesiologist now. He went back to medical school in 2013. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_W...

People suck so much. I hope those bitchass motherfuckers have pimples inside their noses forever.

I guess the 7Seas one is the best we're likely to get? Also Zhu Yilong was SO GOOD especially in the last few episodes. And I see he's in something with Wang Qianbei, which I will be gobbling up ASAP.

Also THANK YOU

Katriena Knights @katrienaknights.bsky.social · 5d

Well, none of that really happened because it's fake--the book version is real.

Katriena Knights @katrienaknights.bsky.social · 5d

Okay, that's what I thought but I couldn't find confirmation anywhere. Although I STILL have questions but most of them are rhetorical LOL
