2025-02-02 18:56:23 +0000 UTC"But to many of the humans, and even some of the others as well, names were simply a useful daily too." Dropped an l at the end. also even tho i only did one semester before dropping out (masters of information/library science) a lot of the struggles of communication and acclimatization/immigration brought up here remind me of the concept of information need, with its four stages: visceral (you're missing some knowledge but havent really thought of what you need yet), conscious (what it sounds like), formalized (you've put it into words - a query, a statement), and compromised (you've changed your information search to meet the tools you use and the world you search in to try to find the best source for that information, even if you can't find a perfect one) (a theory by Taylor i think it was first from like the seventies? Robert Taylor, because there are two Taylors who are pretty well known in the field of information behavior, though R Taylor is the more published one)

2025-02-01 19:12:52 +0000 UTCI loved learning how the chanters (or at least Rise) view the Order’s efforts. I genuinely teared up at the line “And when that wasn’t enough, they changed themselves to join the voice and add their confidence and hope to it.” What a lovely encapsulation of what the Order does.

2025-02-01 18:19:26 +0000 UTCThis sentence doesn't make sense to me: Two of her bodies sipped at the surprisingly good coffee down here, unaware that she was in the process of amping up her reflexes to superhuman levels. It sounds like "unaware" refers to her bodies, which is nonsense. And I can't see any other way to parse.
