  • Had a discussion with a coworker recently who was worried about thrifting books for the book cart for the patients because she doesn’t know what’s in them including (I shit you not) the lords name in vain. I actually read all the books I buy (reading a paperback out on the unit at night is one of the safest possible downtime activities). The only book that I’ve found too objectionable in two years of thrifting books for patients was The King’s Hounds by Martin Jensen because it was literally sooo Sean Connery’s bond style rapey all the way through like I’ve put lowkey furry erotica on that cart but even I have standards.






  • I already knew this about colors (it’s also why “redheads” have orange hair) but I recently dug more into how the musical spectrum and how tones are defined is very similar in it’s cultural variance. Another thing is how the cardinal directions are divided radially and how time is counted. Shit counting bases even, most of the imperial measurements are based on either base 12 or base 16 math.

    Wild to think that something you grew up with as a fundamental fact of the world might actually be super culturally subjective.
