Oh that’s a good point

Maybe it’s a farm or greenhouse with plants in different stages of growth?

I appreciate whoever took the time to find enough berries and pre-berries, and then arranged them so nicely

It’s worth a read, but if you don’t have time

What makes this revival uncomfortable is its timing. Phyllis could not respond. Her family, largely gone. There was no one left to correct the record or explain the circumstances. The image became a blank screen onto which modern viewers projected assumptions about drug use, morality, and personal failure.

Yet when her life is examined even briefly, those assumptions collapse. There is no evidence that she was a habitual drug user. No record of repeated arrests. No trail of chaos or criminality. Instead, there is a woman born into economic uncertainty, injured young, living through wartime upheaval, briefly targeted by an unjust legal system, and then settling into a quiet, unremarkable life.

The insult survives because it is easy. The truth requires effort.

The Reddit comment that circulates alongside Phyllis’s image captures something essential about her case. In 1944, freedom was conditional. It depended on fitting into social expectations, on being legible to authority, on not attracting the wrong kind of attention.

The same laws that ensnared Phyllis were used disproportionately against the poor, women, and people of colour. Their eventual repeal is often celebrated as progress, but repeal does not undo the damage done to those who lived under them.

Phyllis Stalnaker did not become a symbol in her lifetime. She did not campaign, protest, or write memoirs. Her story matters precisely because it is small. It reminds us how many lives were quietly constrained by laws that have since been forgotten, and how easily a single photograph can erase complexity.

Her revival online offers a choice. She can remain a joke, or she can be recognised as what she was: a woman shaped by her time, subjected to its injustices, and deserving of more than a label.

Thank you!

Last I checked, there wasn’t a good way to mirror playlists across different platforms. Maybe I’ll just post on here and ask if there are suggestions

I’m happy to pin a playlist if someone wants to maintain it :)

Otherwise we will probably make a playlist or two once all the nominations are in

I think he still has majority voting power in Facebook

Yeah I guess there should be rudimentary markdown to LaTeX translation programs, right?

I haven’t tried any, but I would think so yes. You can probably run a script over the files to accomplish the same thing :)

If it helps, a number of courses at my university used open source git based textbooks. For example, you can replicate this Statistics textbook using any static site generator designed for documentation: https://moderndive.com/ (https://github.com/moderndive/ModernDive_book/)

• https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/
• https://www.mkdocs.org/
• https://vitepress.dev/

We use vitepress for our docs: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

Or you can get even simpler by using plain markdown files organized into folders.

In my opinion, it’s better to start off simple while writing the content since then you can pick a tool based on what type of formatting you end up needing

LaTeX has been around for a lot longer, and Typst is one of the projects looking to replace it

Typst is a lot more intuitive and easier to use, but it might be missing some packages and tools that were designed for LaTeX.

For your purposes, I think it would work just fine

That is so cool, I had no idea that this was a thing

Is there a robust test suite?

Merge, test, merge, test, patch, merge, test

Oh good point 🤦

So maybe instead, we can clear all local + remote branches and tags, create a blank branch, delete main, rename the blank branch to main, then delete .git

Although the OP says that we can merge anything, and we might not have access to mess with branches

This is a cool interface, what are you using to track the birds?
