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.

Now I appeal to every Man, who will give himself Leave to consider, if such an Act be not contrary to the Laws both divine and human, which I mentioned before.
