Hallo allwissendes Fediverse

Ich habe ein Problem mit #LibreOffice und #Zotero . Es geht um eine längere Arbeit mir vielen Zitierungen. Der Text ist in Blocksatz gehalten. Teilweise habe ich wie auf dem Bild das Problem, dass der Punkt nach der Zitierung auf die nächste Zeile gelegt wird. Das kann auch am Ende eines Absatzes geschehen. Irgendwie erfolgt kein passender Zeilenumbruch. Ich kriege das einfach nicht hin. Hat irgendjemand einen Vorschlag? Einen Tipp?

Be a voice not an echo.

In a world of whispers, rise and speak,
A voice unique, no echoes weak.
Forge your path where none have tread,
Let your thoughts be boldly spread.
In shadows where the echoes hide,
Step into light, with strength and pride.
Be the voice that breaks the mold,
A story new, a truth untold.
Echoes fade in time's embrace,
But voices leave a lasting trace.
So dare to dream, to shout, to show,
Be a voice, let your spirit glow.

July 7 -Robert A. Heinlein birthday!

American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction.

What Happens When a #Romance #Writer Gets Locked Out of #Google Docs

source: https://www.wired.com/story/what-happens-when-a-romance-author-gets-locked-out-of-google-docs/?esrc=AUTO_PRINT

In March, an aspiring author got a troubling message: All of her works in progress were no longer accessible. What happened next is every writer’s worst fear.

Google never specified which of her 222,000 words was inappropriate.

...

Generally speaking, files containing #violence, #abuse, child sexual abuse material, and gore violate the terms of service for Google Drive and its associated products, like Docs and Sheets.

Now many of you will be thinking, who is stupid enough to store everything in the Google #cloud? The problem is we know that, but many people out there don't. We urgently need to do more educational work and warn people about companies like Google and their practices. Tell all your friends and acquaintances and don't use the clouds of the big corporations.

#writer: I have to laugh that IBM is pulling their advertising from X because of Musk’s antisemitic tweets. IBM was right there in the Holocaust helping the Germans document their slaughter of Jews and undesirables in Hitler’s National Socialist German Worker’s Party. And they also helped NY Governor Cuomo with his Covid jab mandated passports, keeping all kinds of documentation for the State.

Spoonerism
There was round, just as the margins had cracked the retaking of Dalton, nexus their inheritance were perfected to challenge emblematic distribution, the throw concealed postulation, fair or defined as the product to notation. Skipped a meal or arose to occasion, pardoned the memory of feldspar and quartz, the sisters sister, made before her a paleontological ruin, anodes of twenty two-plus one insistence you see. They rate you for you are insistence; perfected in rotation, designer cartels kissing camels perfumed, or skipping the mealy one.

They destined inertia, sold the camel to the onlooker for quality control, made first for our first marginal nexus, quantity came to his inherent product, never to place in a marginal burial. They needed it, placed it, paid the camel a finders fee, to the inherent one, glory were the marginal rethrow, inspiration at hand, reservations for the academy of science. ©

...
“New York in the fifties was like Paris in the twenties,” she wrote in her memoir.
...
Ms. Denham later wrote the novel ... “Secrets of San Miguel” (2013), a tell-all chronicle of the expatriate artistic community in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, which she visited for many years.

A quotation from Wilbur, Richard

When a poet is being a poet — that is, when he is writing or thinking about writing — he cannot be concerned with anything but the making of a poem. If the poem is to turn out well, the poet cannot have thought of whether it will be saleable, or of what its effect on the world should be; he cannot think of whether it will bring him honor, or advance a cause, or comfort someone in sorrow. All such considerations, whether silly or generous, would be merely intrusive; for, psychologically speaking, the end of writing is the poem itself.

Richard Wilbur (1921-2017) American poet, literary translator
Acceptance Speech, National Book Award (1957)

Ce mois-ci, le thème du challenge de dessin d'Inkscape est "les feuilles". Ma contribution : un genre de cul-de-lampe pour lequel j'ai utilisé, avec bonheur, les dégradés ainsi que la courbe de Bézier spirographique. Et c'est tout. Moi j'aime bien 🙂

Je pense m'en servir pour un futur #modèle pour #Writer de #LibreOffice.

Voltaire | Writer, Wit, #Philosopher and Rebel

"After a couple more run-ins with the authorities Voltaire went to live in England for three years. But the French Government continued to pursue their troublesome citizen, censoring or suppressing much of his work and ordering some of his books to be burned. In 1734 Voltaire made a decisive break from France by moving to Switzerland where he was to spend much of his later life.

"He was able to afford such extravagance and live comfortably thanks to the French lottery. Voltaire had teamed with mathematician Charles Marie de La Condamine and other gamblers to exploit a loophole in the way the lottery was run so that their syndicate repeatedly won huge prizes and they all became very rich."
