notes

• One of the things Type:Rider explained to me (possibly), is why it is that I hate Times New Roman so much, namely that it was (apparently) designed to remain legible when printed cheaply on low-quality paper, which is to say, absolutely not the context even of printing at home these days (let alone screen display).
  
• I was briefly worried that in fact I just hate all serif fonts, given that I also loathe Computer Modern, but apparently everyone hates Computer Modern so I can just retreat hissing back into the shadows of Garamond, or something.
  
• One of the things my supervisor keeps saying to me about my writing is that she understands what I mean but I need to unpack a lot! more! and I keep being wildly miscalibrated as to what this actually looks like. I HAVE REALISED (late last night, when I really wanted to have already been asleep, but so it goes) that some of what's going on here is that I'm writing to her-as-audience because I really don't have a good sense of General Geochemistry Knowledge in the field (for a variety of reasons this margin etc) and I have spent a lot of time trying to express ideas etc specifically to her in writing so... no wonder, really! Which will hopefully let me adjust expectations accordingly and maybe start writing in a more appropriately targeted fashion in Science Contexts.
