Had a great time catching up with @dannybate.bsky.social today, and super excited to get my hands on a copy of his new book!! I love learning about new topics and Why Q Needs U is a deep dive into the history of the nuts and bolts of written language- letters.

why does Disney agree to this? Because Stetson has a campus in celebration and it’s written into the contract. Why did they put that in the contract?

because it’s so much fun for the students idk

actually that first one is eluding me a bit. I know I know it but I can’t place it precisely right now. The second is the view from duke Humfrey’s towards the Uni Church and the third is New College cloister

So a Fun Thing is that Disney Orlando has several fake snow machines for like, Disney reasons, and every December on the week before exams they lend them all to my undergrad university for a week and they do a full scale blizzard on the green, complete with sledding hill, etc, snowball fights

PeculiarSusan @peculiarsusan.bsky.social · 4h

Why they built a theme park in Florida then covered everything in fake snow I don’t even want to wonder about.

I mean we could just ask OP but where’s the fun in that

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 4h

I'm gonna be honest, I'd rather not be living through it, but: if anybody is gonna be able to take on USA hegemony and have a right chance at it, the Vatican is an unexpected but worthy contender

Ah, yes, that sounds quite plausible then! in that case then there's no official requirements in the church at the time as to the requirements for a font, so really any container will do. obviously though a nicer one is considered more respectable, so that might explain the language

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 6h

my initial guess is 'boys' was substituted in for 'pueri' which refers to all children or all boys in the way of latin languages, and then my architectural guess is that the stone large font had been removed or damaged and so a standalone lead bowl was being used temporarily when needed
