Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was discovered by accident during the Apollo program when NASA discovered what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

now that you mention it, it’s dawned on me suddenly and for no obvious reason that i can’t go on living as i am

Why are there just blobs of fake rubber meat that a bunch of unrelated microbes can build in the dirt but they've only ever been found in china and can't be classified any further than "biological objects"

Don't mind if I do!

The Book of Kells has lots of writing, It's Insular and majuscule. They say that three scribes penned the letters, I think those scribes were really cool.

Okay @waffilicious you cannot just leave these in the notes!! I GOTTA know more about the clowns and the hidden love notes!!

OKAY SO. This turned out to be a story, so I'm putting it behind a cut.

Wow!! I think you deserve a big round of applause, @waffilicious for such an excellent follow up!!

But also WHAT THE HECK.

I hope BPL learned their lesson and has gotten more serious about inventorying and cataloging their stuff as a result of all of these shenanigans.

I also wish it didn’t sound so relatable, given what I’ve seen myself at my own library. 😱

This reminds me of the time when my former supervisor called and texted me multiple times after I resigned to ask where the university’s founding documents were and if I would come in to help him find them. The archive was a tiny room without climate controls, relocated in a hurry from its former home upstairs after a water leak, and large portions of the collection did not match the labels on their boxes. Said founding documents had been located by me on accident while looking for something else, and I’d carefully made a scan of them so we could read them and share them with researchers without handling the disintegrating notebook and various loose papers more than necessary.

For anyone worried: said documents were eventually located exactly where I told him they were, without me setting foot in the archive or library. He just hadn’t looked hard enough.

“One of the poets, whose name I cannot recall, has a passage, which I am unable at the moment to remember, in one of his works, which for the time being has slipped my mind, which hits off admirably this age-old situation.”
