'A document is a shadow of earthly things'

I like this phrasing (thank you Sofia Samatar).

What is a document? A shadow? An echo? A border? A periphery? Must it be on paper or can it be digital?

"Epp gave a sermon called "Shadows and Essence". He used Hebrews 8:5, a text on the shadow of heavenly things. A document, I think, is a shadow of earthly things."

— Sofia Samatar: White Mosque, pp. 32-32

Claas Epp is a figure from Mennonite history, who led a pilgrimage to Uzbekistan. I love this sentence on the document.

in reply to enargeia

it's amazing. I can't remember where I first spotted it so it may well have been you. If so, then thank you for propagandizing!

complicado estar com la misma intensidad en los dos mundos. Com en ido de que este es el lugar y de que no podemos irnos de las redes sociales hegemomicas sin traer a la mayoría de la gente. Abrazos!

oof. Those requirements are tough. Can’t believe my RTX 3080 is just getting 60fps on 1440p.

meanwhile, I can't even launch the game with Intel Arc. *sign*
(I know Arc GPUs on Linux are not yet up-to-par with Windows drivers, but still annoying, there needs to be another player in the GPU game imo)

This week, as I start focusing on my tenure file, I have been asking what the point is of being a professor in the tenure system. I reflected on this Sunday on a ride out to a community pancake breakfast.

What’s so important that the people of a democracy would offer someone the potential of long term job security and intellectual freedom (however precarious), even at times of hardship and deprivation? And what kind of promise could ever be equal to that extraordinary trust? #OutdoorMoments

in reply to J. Nathan Matias 🦣

Will I get tenure? That’s only partly up to me. But whatever the outcome of this process, I have irrevocably joined hands with the cloud of witnesses in the human search for truth. And I plan to be there to advance and protect this endeavor whatever may come. ❤
in reply to J. Nathan Matias 🦣

Phew, thank you. For all the mess of it, I share this basic gratitude for the guild.

Maybe of interest, since you are thinking historically, here is something I wrote as I stumbled into the tenure track: osf.io/efkm8/

the battle.net fixes are welcome. It's been very frustrating last couple of weeks as every game update starts failing till you faff around with lutris runtimes till one works.
