This isn’t related to the blog or developments to the templates at all, so I’m putting this under the read more. The tl;dr: I need financial help and I would greatly appreciate if you would consider donating to me. (And I’m up for doing favors in return!)
Not much is new except that I am now once again out of a job as of last week or so. Searching for the next one, but any help in the meantime is still very much appreciated. Been a bit stressed and busy because of that all, so I can’t think of much else to say.
Anyway I’m out for now, hopefully I have better news next update!
The quirk user can archive any piece of information by skimming it over as well as memorizing attack patterns, weaknesses, and other traits of villains and heroes! They can get a headache by trying to memorize too much at once, but it does come in handy with needing to retrieve information.

Jean Blackwell Hutson (September 7, 1914 – February 4, 1998), American librarian, archivist, writer, and educator, remains a great inspiration to all librarians. As curator and later chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, Hutson worked to acquire, catalogue, and exhibit materials to preserve Black History under the auspices of the New York Public Library.
Hutson spoke about her memories of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg whose personal collection of African-American literature and objects became the basis of NYPL’s Schomburg Center, the most comprehensive collection of materials documenting the history and culture of peoples of African descent.
“His books had been catalogued by the Dewey Decimal System, but he had ignored that and he kept the books in his rarest collection arranged by the height of their spine and their hue. So one night I stayed and arranged these books by the decimal system so that everybody else could locate them from the card catalogue. When he came in the next day, he couldn’t find anything. He forbade me to come back into the place.”
That’s true librarian spirit!
