Just here to make friends and have fun! Oh, and to stare into the void. Mostly my garden and project journal, tbh.

Eariy snow, sniffly kid, and a Friendsgiving coming up, so I got out my trusty cookie press and made some extremely derpy #Thanksgiving cookies.

Admittedly, that poster might very well find an attractive confident woman hard to live with, but that’s really on them.

I had a student who was friends with the β€œmean” girls and they ensured that her social transition was smooth. They were very protective and supportive, which was great to see.

I pulled up the old list and the new list and the differences are pretty notable. In particular, it goes from 2 turkeys and 2 pies to one of each.

Sometimes you gotta put on your gnome apron, load it with tools, and disconnect the rain barrels and reconnect the downspout.

If it exploded as they say, surely we’ll have turkey shrapnel as evidence. Incendiary pickles, combustive provolone, etc.

I was horrified to learn from an ex-LDS YouTuber that they’re typically made of polyester and/or nylon. And they’re supposed to be 24/7.

This reminds me of the time Gwyneth nobly tried to buy $25 worth of groceries for the week and it was mostly highly perishable greens.

it’s a nice juxtaposition to W who wore boots and jeans to disguise his aristocratic background.

8 months ago I planted the seeds for these marigolds specifically so I could put them on the ofrenda today and tomorrow. I’m surprisingly emotional about it.

Three carved jack-o’-lanterns with candles inside

I cannot believe I’ve seen the whole journey from pumpkin seed to jack-o’-lantern! πŸŽƒ

We carved these three out of 12, and I think they would probably be good eating pumpkins too. Nice firm, evenly colored flesh and lots of seeds.

Happy Halloween!

In his opinion, the most historically accurate version would be the kids going to the Derry newspaper office and asking to see a copy or someone having clipped the article.
Reading microfiche at the public library was more of a 70s-early 2000s thing.

I hope you found this nominally interesting!

He explained a famous case history of two newspapers in the 1980s who put their whole archives onto microfilm- except one picked a company with poor QA and destroyed the paper copies before they realized the scans were unreadable.

So scanning wasn’t necessarily done contemporaneously.

Microfilm/microfiche was fairly advanced technology at the time. Higher chances at a university library, though.

He also said that if you wanted the paper from a year earlier in the 1950s, you’d most likely have to go to the local newspaper office bc they would keep copies.

Coincidentally, I was hanging out with my gov doc librarian/archivist friend and he said the chances of a small town public library having microfilm at all in the 50s would be exceptionally low unless they had received a huge grant and someone really pushed for it.

Watching Welcome to Derry and I’m all like β€œReally? It’s been one year since this kid’s disappearance and the small town Maine librarians have ALREADY transferred the newspaper to microfiche? UNLIKELY!”

I mean, I guess there’s also a clown-spider, but srsly.
