I saw that one of my students just made a (doctored) L&S-style entry (formatted as if found on @logeiongklat.bsky.social ) for an invented Latin word. What a delight. Behold: flamamammama!

10 years ago I took a road trip through Montana that consisted of driving all day, going to a Dairy Queen, sleeping at a motel and then leaving the state on the other side and it's still one of the greatest trips of my life because till then I didn't even know how much sky there was in the world

It was brought up in my presence the other day that our workplace is majority female and to watch all of the women in the room one by one point out the structural reasons why that's likely to be the case in museums was a thing of beauty.

If you're wondering why Flock leaves cameras up after a contract end, part of their business model and marketing strategy is being able to advertise that their customers can access data from cameras all over the country. You may have canceled your contract, but the cameras still fuel the system.
