Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

It’s so normal--yet we all fear-- We reap what we sow--Death-- Nothing is satisfying--Tired-- It lurks in the shadows
It is immortal--But it’s dead There are no deals or loopholes-- It’s always there--the end of fate How do we know?--We don’t
But let us continue our lives-- Loved ones--stay safe inside-- Walk--Binge--Eat--Work--in the meantime And wait--until the next time--
