Also read this article about being an ai hater, it's cathartic
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

The "Treachery of the Blue Books" was a report made by a commission of young English jurists who visited Wales in the late 1840s. Its full name is "Reports of the Commission of Inquiry into the State of Education in Wales". It was made in response to rising political violence as a result of land enclosures and the efforts of the Anglican church to proliferate and control schools for the poor.
It lambasted the Welsh language, saying that no Welsh literary tradition existed worthy of the name. It reported that the Welsh people had potential for "progress" and a strong perceptive ability, but were held back by their "backwards" language, called a source of moral decline. It criticized the nonconformity of the Welsh church.
It recommended banning publications in the Welsh language and establishing state schools that would teach only in English, to rid the region of cultural distinctiveness and forcibly assimilate the Welsh people into English culture to prevent labor uprisings in a valuable coal and steel producing region.
It served as a blueprint for cultural genocide elsewhere in the British Empire. The report should be read to get a glimpse into the nature of the methods employed by colonialists and the thinking that underlies it.
Here is the report in full:

Finished slipcase tool box!
I ran out of the white paper mid-project, but the black paper on the covers turned out to be a truly happy accident.

Before, and after! I spent half the day today re-doing the reptile room, and replacing the old outdated light with a better can light (Brett did that part but! I helped! Lol). I think this is a much better use of the space, it feels less cluttered and I also enjoy Tali being sort of the center piece of the room.
Also. I climbed onto the kitchen island to get that second pic LOL
Ellie got an enclosure refresh today! I decided to switch her onto Aspen bedding like the mice since it seems to hold burrows better, but I still added some paper bedding on top (and kept some of her old bedding in her hides so she’d have the scent). I’m pretty happy with how it all looks, and Ellie seemed content when I placed her back in. I think her decor always looks to whimsical 🌸 :)
While the agricultural revolution based on the Norfolk four-course system significantly increased the production of wheat, peasants lost access to common lands and forests, where they used to raise pigs with acorns, collect mushrooms, woods and fruits, and catch birds. Living in the countryside, they also had access to the river to catch fish and for fresh water. Now driven into the city, they almost completely lost access to such natural wealth and could consume much less meat. Even if they remained in the countryside, their previous daily activities in the commons were now criminalized as acts of trespass and theft. Furthermore, enclosure concentrated lands in the hands of fewer capitalist farmers. As they hired peasants only during the busy season and fired them thereafter, the farming villages disappeared, and the small vegetable gardens maintained by the villagers ceased to provide fresh vegetables for their dinner tables. As it was no longer clear by whom and how the vegetables sold in the market were grown – they might, for example, be smeared with excreta of cattle and poultry – they became inedible without cooking, and fresh salads disappeared from the menu.
In addition, all family members had to work in the factories to make a living in the city. The loss of access to the commons significantly increased the financial burden on households because now they had to buy their means of subsistence from the market. They began working in factories from an early age, so children were not able to attend school. They could not acquire basic cooking skills at home or during the festivals and ceremonies of the farming villages, where they were served free and luxurious meals. Even if they acquired and maintained some cooking skills, working-class families in the city were no longer able to buy expensive meat and other ingredients but only the cheap potatoes that were sold on the street. Consequently, the traditional English recipes based on ingredients available to the rural villages became useless for working-class families living in the large cities.
