Siddhanta (appropriately) is the only one to fully handle the ligature. Sanskrit 2003 seems to have struggled the most.

kṛṣṇar*dddh*iḥ कृष्णर्द्द्धिः ????!!!!!!!!!
From the Siddhanta Kaumudi: ७१। झरो झरि सवर्णे । ८। ४। ६५॥ हलः परस्य झरो लोपो वा स्यात्सवर्णे झरि । द्वित्वाभावे लोपे सत्येकधम् । असति लोपे द्वित्वलोपयोर्वा द्विधम् । सति द्वित्वे लोपे चासति त्रिधम् । कृष्णर्धिः । कृष्णर्द्धिः । कृष्णर्द्द्धिः । यण इति पञ्चमी मय इति षष्ठीति पक्षे ककारस्य द्वित्वम् । लस्य तु अनचि चेति । तेन तवल्कार इत्यत्र रूपचतुष्टयम् ॥ Verse: द्वित्वं लस्यैव कस्यैव नोभयोरुभयोरपि । तवल्कारादिषु बुधैर्बोध्यं रूपचतुष्टयम् ॥ 71. A mute or sibilant (झर्), preceded by a consonant and followed by a homogeneous mute or sibilant, is optionally elided. When there is not doubling and there is lopa under this rule, then we have only one ध्. But when there is no lopa or when there is doubling, then we have two ध्s. Thirdly, when there is doubling, but there is no lopa, then we have three ध्s. Thus Kṛishṇardhiḥ; or Kṛishṇarddhiḥ or Kṛishṇardddhiḥ.

too lazy to learn to type with an InScript keyboard layout, instead i just made my own based roughly on the SLP1 Sanskrit encoding scheme. why do i do this to myself
keyboard layout that crams as much of the Devanagari unicode block as i could manage onto a keyboard alongside the basic US layout. it's awkward as hell. XKB symbols file defining the custom layout. i had to type out the unicode values individually.

bsky post box but it's 504 characters over the limit: "what's best movie ending of the decade" post floating around with the final scene from Babylon ughhhhhh. i saw that fucking movie in a theater (friend took me along, i knew nothing of it beforehand) and it was probably one of the worst movie experiences i've had. i thought the guy at the end was crying because he saw how vapid and marked with suffering all the events of the film up to that point had been, how it was pointless to sacrifice yourself to the disgusting machinery of the mass entertainment industry, that no movie could make up for the suffering of beings, no movie in all of cinema history, and my friend was like, no, he's crying because it's worth it for The MoviesTM, Babylon absolutely believes its own mythology, it was directed by the La La Land guy, and then i was just so furious

[opening of Natsume Sōseki's "I am a Cat"] I am a cat. As of yet, I am without a name. Where I was born, I haven’t the slightest guess. I only remember crying out, nyaa nyaa, in some dim, gloomy space. There I saw for the first time one of those the creatures called “humans.” Not only that but, afterwards, I heard that he was of that most cruel variety of humans, those called “boarding students.” The story goes that these “boarding students” from time to time catch us, roast us, and eat us. But, at that time, as I was without any thought, I didn’t think them particularly fearsome. Instead, as I was suddenly lifted up to be placed on the palm of his hand, I felt only a kind of softness. It was there, on his palm, slightly calmed, looking into the student’s face, that I had perhaps my first glimpse of humanity. The feeling I had then, that they were strange creatures, remains even now. Firstly, his face, which should have been mantled in fur, was as smooth as a kettle—since then, I’ve met many cats, but I have not once come across such a deformity in them. Not only that, but the very center of his face protruded quite a bit, and he occasionally blew puffs of smoke out of the holes in it. I was worried I might be suffocated. It’s been only recently that I finally came to know this as the “tobacco” that humans often smoke.

the best thing i can say about staying one quarter in campus north is that my depression got so bad that my egg cracked and i took a year off school so i could transition
Meanwhile, the most expensive of these projects, at $148 million, is Jeanne Gang’s Campus North dorm. It’s built in what we in the biz disparagingly call the “Dutch style,” after the penchant for irregular forms and seemingly pixelated façades pioneered by Dutch architects in the early 2000s. In addition to being an eyesore, the dorm is sited in such a way that the passageway beneath the two parts of the building creates a notorious wind tunnel. It only adds insult to architectural injury that the university constructed such luxury dorms after selling existing ones to—you guessed it—pay off some of its debt.

this object was used as part of the Yamanote Line Incident, a piece of performance art staged by Akasegawa Genpei, Nakanishi Natsuyuki, and Takamatsu Jirō, who would go on to form the Hi-Red Center group.
Nakanishi(??? not entirely sure) on the Yamanote Line, October 18, 1962. He wears white face paint and is shining a flashlight into the compact object, chained to the overhead railing. Onlookers watch. Photo by Murai Tokuji.

i had to dust my old grammars on this one
‘Teika ason’s mother’: Bifukumon’in no Kaga, Shunzei’s wife, d. 1193. ‘Took leave of her body’: i.e., died. ‘Shrine’: or temple. Text has 堂 dō which is vague as to religion. I imagine it as Buddhist, but am not sure. ‘In’: translating the 半 ‘middle’ of 夜半 yowa ‘middle of the night’. ‘[My] seldcome nights’: those rare nights when Shunzei visits the gravesite. ‘Seldcome’ is adapted from an Old English word appearing in the poem ‘Wulf and Eadwacer’—seldcyme—in which a woman laments infrequent visitations among other things. まれに mare ni nari-adj.
