aww that sucks. I wouldn't want to try to learn a new rideable while pregnant either. If you have the energy you could try to cluster your out-of-house errands with your appointments.

How far away is the hospital? Honestly your labor will probably be long since it's your first birth. You have time to call an uber lol.

I just finished it a few days ago! Interested to hear more of your thoughts on it

What is it that a father finds in one to favor over others? Did Isaac know what grace was his in primogeniture while Ishmael wandered? Did Esau find his father’s way not right And think the issue of the pottage just a specious way to further predestination,

To choose my father— He passed along that odd selection too, So Joseph was his pet— I heard him say that Rachel was his love, and saw her eyes in Joseph’s face. I know such ancient tales of brothers— one chosen, the other not, inexplicably— And like Abel’s brother wish I knew why God must choose.

Also why does Rebekah have to lie to get Jacob the blessing? Seems kinda shady.

Cataloguers, do you have any recs about where I can get a sense of the landscape of the field? What % of original records come from what orgs, what the balance of copy v original cataloguing is done at different kinds of institutions, etc.?

NOT looking for info about MARC, RDA, or other standards

It’s so rare to get a decision like this. I hate to be grateful for the bare minimum but I’m grateful to the work of everyone involved in obtaining this victory. www.engadget.com/ai/the-supre...

Hmm new pages patrol will flag pages that don't meet notability criteria for deletion. But they might not know how to evaluate foreign-language sources.

Guys I started playing Station to Station and it is so good. Imagine a game that attends to a young woman's inner life and ambitions! And is also pretty insightful and funny about college life!

no like actual jousting! I was reading a passage in The Bright Sword imagining how heavy the lance is and how much confidence it takes to charge straight at the other night and keep the lance aimed at the sword. Seemed like a good fit for the crank.
