It just seems easier to spin up a wordpress blog instead of having to maintain software on your end just to do the same thing. But if you want penny sheets or xeroxed zines you could probably just print out a couple of copies of your writing and nail them to the front door of your local Alamo Drafthouse for something just as satisfying

I had to go back into my notes to check but here in New Zealand, I was taught the Whitaker model (Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia). I've literally never heard of archae-/eubacteria in my life haha. That said my lecturer was basically like "taxonomists are always fighting over everything so don't worry about it too much." I do remember them talking about domains more than kingdoms though.

The definition they gave for protista was unicellular and colonial eukaryotes, giving protozoans and fungi as examples

"The EWI has a silicone mouthpiece with sensors for air pressure (sending MIDI Breath Control by default) and bite pressure (which sends vibrato, more specifically a quick pitch up-down "blip" by default)."

technology is amazing

I think conflating surreptitiously taking videos of strangers with surveillance sort of normalises it in a way that makes me uncomfortable. Like, I don't like having security cameras everywhere, but those ostensibly are to investigate crime etc etc. These are just creepshots for zoomers

designed to fit a surveillance aesthetic

What, pray tell, is the surveillance aesthetic

The laws and legal systems of the U.S. will be complicated at best to understand and follow. State and territorial laws can vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, meaning that the US actually consists of at least 54 separate legal systems with regard to any area of law not within the purview of federal law.

*wikitravel voice* shits real weird
