I feel like I’m the last person alive writing in Word, but wanted to share this because it might save someone some heartache.

I am used to Word autosaving relentlessly; for the last few years it didn’t really even have a “File>Save” command that I could see–it just autosaved like every five seconds or something. It took me a long time to get used not clicking File>Save at the end of every writing session, and I never really trusted it–with good reason, it turns out.

Apparently, when you turn off Word’s new ai features, AutoSave is disabled and cannot be turned back on. There is toggle button in the upper left for it, but when I try to toggle it on, it says “Autosave is not available because of your privacy settings.” I worked in my document yesterday, put my computer to sleep with the doc still open on the taskbar (my usual habit), and when I opened it today, the new work I did yesterday was gone.

This time I only lost about 300 words, which I had typed into my document from my longhand-writing in a notebook (so I guess I kind of autosaved them that way!), but if I’d really been on a roll, this could have been a disaster.

Be careful out there. Everything is terrible!

thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow… its going to make me cry

ohhhh my god

”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”

Voting did matter. Even the worst democrat or in all honesty the next worst republican was not going to do all this exact same crazy shit. Voting cannot fix a broken system but if the system asks you to weigh in on how much more broken it wants to get, you can tell it “no, not that far please” instead of effectively “I don’t care, go hog fucking wild”

So please vote in the midterms, for the least evil options on the ballots, instead of telling them you just don’t mind who they put in charge of whatever the hell they want.

the benoit blanc movies show really beautifully how to write a queer character whose story is not centered around their queerness. it’s shown that benoit blanc is gay married (to hugh grant!) it’s shown that he participates in queer mediums like musical theater and fashion, but none of those things are ever explicitly remarked on. he doesn’t have a big coming out scene because he doesn’t need one; and the subtle details about him not speaking to his mother, the way he associates a church with homophobia, allows us to draw conclusions about how his family felt about his queerness without making that the sole conflict in his story. the conflict in benoit blanc’s story is not that he exists in the world as a gay person, it’s that he’s always trying to wrangle a bunch of 30 somethings into not confessing to crimes they didn’t commit

if you’re in northern/mid europe right now, we’re experiencing one of the strongest aurora storms in about 20 years. the northern lights are visible all the way to northern italy (i’ve seen pictures from southern Germany, the netherlands, and the italian alps). they’re appearing in both green and red, so go outside and watch!!

Times like these I remember that Malcolm X quote about healing and how it requires acknowledging the knife is there. Things like “this isn’t who we are” and “this is un-American” and “what are we? [insert another country]??” reveal a deep seated denial of American history and state-sponsored domestic terror that I’m just not gonna entertain anymore from leftists over the age of twenty.
