  • I love anise. So much. Do you like the salty licorice they like in Northern Europe? I can’t get enough of that shit. Not just salty and licorice, but with a strong undertone of ammonia!

    Also, three weeks ago, I went from a country that used only stupid weights and measures (America) to a country that only partially does (Britain) and it has not been easy. I don’t care of Celsius is rational, all I know is that it’s going to be a high of 4 today and of 12 on Thursday and that means nothing to me.



  • That’s my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

    They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That’s what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it’s sometimes worth converting.









  • And the racists say: Jews are not white. The Nazis said it all the time—the project of the Jews, as far as they were concerned, was to undermine the Aryan white races. And the exclusion of Jews from the category of whiteness is still key to present-day white supremacists.

    Also:

    Well, according to the law of Schrödinger’s Whites, a brilliant conceit that I am not responsible for, in which Jews are white or non-white depending on the politics of the observer, in this context Krug’s Jewishness enhances the story.

    (Highly recommend that book, by the way.)
