YouTube - Station Х: 1. The keys to the reich 1996

I finally watched The Bletchley Circle last night, which means I also spent a lot of time on Wikipedia last night. This is an OK documentary if you want to know more about the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, but the best parts are the reunions.

They gathered together these women, who broke codes at Station X, who transcribed Morse Code in far-flung Y stations, who did the actual work of maintaining Alan Turing’s deciphering machine, who did the typing, the filing, the indexing. Most of them hadn’t talked about what they did during the war since the war. They all look and talk like my own British granny, trading stories and photos over tea at The Enigma Tavern, except they can still recite the lists of codewords they used in the 1940s and recall practical jokes they played on visiting Admirals.

There were folks who were surprised I was there, but that surprise was always “Oh! Cool! You’re here!” rather than “Why are you here?” And that, of course, is a salient difference. No one questioned my reasoning for being there, or suggested, say, that I was a Fake Romance Boy, or quizzed me about who my favorite romance author was or if I could recite that author’s bibliography to their satisfaction.

This is how it’s done. Instead of wondering how a stranger has penetrated your midst, show them around and tell them what they’ve been missing.

so, a couple of months ago, this happened on twitter:

@fuzzydinosaur: this pair of stoop books makes me a little nervous. [see above photo]

@factsarenot: Is “stoop books” a thing? That could be a tumblr.

since “stoop books” are TOTALLY a thing in brooklyn — i listened to jess and made it a tumblr. scroll through brooklynstoopbooks.tumblr.com and you’ll see what i’ve come upon in the last few months… though i don’t think any surpass this original amazingness seen above.

YAY.

Perhaps it’s just a delivery system for olden-days hairdos and Dame Maggie Smith.

Crosby now has 2 goals! It’s a goal fest in Pittsburgh! 3-1 and not even halfway into the 1st.

I’m watching the wrong game.
