I initially read this as "librarians love me for some reason". It was funny at the time.

I remember reading somewhere that kosher/halal laws are much less about the laws themselves and much more about the group identity they foster. I imagine the obscurity of Catholic mass fulfills roughly the same function.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.

“I think fundamentally there is an us v them mentality built into Judaism that exists independently of antisemitism. A lot of traditional Jewish practice — especially keeping kosher — is about a forced insularity that separates Jews from non-Jews.”
I just read a quote that said that the brain is "a machine for jumping to conclusions" and I don't know why but this feels so true.

I know, right? I wouldn't have thought that a show about the "bureaucracy of evil" could be so compelling and yet here we are.

I did a zoom presentation today and one of the audience took a screenshot of me talking. I looked pretty crazed. I'd be fucking terrified of me.

I'm not sure what it is about this that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the condescension or the "learning is beneath me" vibe I get.

I was under the impression that a subpoena meant you... had to do something? Or be arrested? Trump is, apparently proving me wrong here.

Ah, fair enough. It's definitely harder to construct a coherent thread of conversation with webmentions

“@desmondrivet @azzamsyawqi @eleven_ty It's just not the same as conversations happening in comments under the post. And I don't want the conversation to happen via Twitter.”

I'm confused by the webmention part of this statement. Do you not have control over how webmentions are displayed under your blog posts?
Sara Soueidan on Twitter
“@azzamsyawqi @eleven_ty But I don't want to use Twitter for the interactions. The point of adding comments is to move the conversation from Twitter to the site. And tbh I'm not a fan of how webmentions are listed under blog posts.”

I think the phrase is referring to the desire to have something both ways, to have something without paying for it

“@desmondrivet So what your saying is ..🤔 People are referring to after someone has had their cake but being sad afterwards that it is gone?”

I think the expression is meant to be understood as "you want to eat your cake and have it too", i.e. you still want the cake after you've eaten it, i.e. you want things both ways. Or, at least, that's the only way it makes sense to me.

“There is this saying people say when they think you are asking too much: You want your cake and to eat it too? My mind is like, well hell yeah who wants to just look at cake? Of course I want to eat it! How is this a question?”

Reframing and simplifying the idea of how to keep a Zettelkasten
Given many of the misconceptions I see online of how to keep a zettelkasten, particularly given the focus on the arcane addressing system used by Niklas Luhmann, perhaps it may be helpful to dramatically reframe the question of how to keep a zettelkasten? One page blog posts from people who’ve only recently seen the idea and are synopsizing it without a year or more practice themselves are highly confusing at best. Can I write something we don’t see enough of in spaces relating to zettelkaste...
