I've been photographing the night sky with my Pixel 6 Pro trying to find an eerie space where the ground and the sky meet...
Here are a few from last night.

A starry sky.  The milky way meets dark hills.Orion in the night sky, the shadow of a tree beside a wall.Night. Stars.An ancient shed. Behind it, the night sky hung with stars. A bone below it.

@abirnbaum @marcinpaprzycki i do it completely by hand yes, i have never tried a software but i bet it doesn't work well with books in the humanities (and i've even done some data science books and it probably doesn't work well with those either)

@hey basically it's the back of the book where the nonfiction book's terms/dates/names/events/themes/concepts are alphabetised and put with page-reference numbers so people can easily find them (in a book about winston churchill for example the index would include things like "early life", "world war i", or "hitler, adolf"

reposting because i didn't use hashtags @histodons #histodons #academics - i index academic books, and i have done around twenty so far. i can index almost any kind of book (written in english), and if you email me (in bio) i can send you my references and past work! please help a freelancer grad student out ❤️ i used the bird app to get jobs before, but that's probably dead, so...
