Seeing a lot of hate for @draft2digital.bsky.social right now. Don't see the point. There is internet precedent for fighting spam with small fees. And it works out to $1 a month. I have made $8 in the 2 years my book has been listed.

Put the cataloging project on hold until I get a few more tools. Fortunately, I had a homemade database to save me some work. I think there's like 500 cards left, give or take.

I'm supposed to be writing, but instead I've found a procrastination task for me. I just got a new app for cataloging my ancient MTG collection. I think I have over 10k cards...

Something silly I started doing many moons ago is creating a list of the books I read during the year and seeing of others had ever read those same books. Today I post that poll here for fun: forms.gle/mxgoUGcDkiDg...

I made a mistake today. I engaged instead of blocking. Oh, not here, but on Reddit. And now I've left that sub reddit, blocked the person, and seriously considered deleting my reddit account.

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?
