At a #boardgames event right now. So many in the board gaming industry (just like book publishing industry) are worried about the potential impact of tariffs. If you can afford it, I encourage you to help support your local indie bookstore and/or game store. If you can't afford to buy, help boost.

Has anyone else seen a dramatic uptick in website contact form spam and comment spam since about December of last year? We are getting dozens a day where we used to get one every couple months. Did spam counter measure get weakened recently or is just that the spammers are feeling bolder?

We were talking about the comparison of music to cooking. The recipe is like sheet music. A band is like the kitchen staff There are different tastes and everyone develops preferences in what they like and don't. The comparison feels endless. And the question is, what food is your music like?

For those who, like us, are fans of both Avatar The Last Airbender and of cooperative board games, we definitely recommend checking out Aang's Destiny from The OP Games It's a coop deck builder (very similar to Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle) that walks through the entire story of Avatar. #boardgame

Returning to the real world this morning after a fantastic weekend at WindyCon, with a killer filk track programmed by @luciusvoltaic.bsky.social ! We packed in so much music that I can hardly believe it was only three days.

A hotel conference room with musicians at the front and chairs set up for an audience. The picture is taken from the side of the "stage" area where several microphone stands are set up. A few people are watching the performers from the chairs.

A white man with long dark hair in jeans and a spruce green shirt is playing the guitar and singing into a mic. Behind him, another guitar hangs on a stand, and a white woman with short blonde hair sits behind a large harp. Next to the photographer you can see someone's light-skinned hands clasped resting in the lap of a navy skirt.

Four light-skinned femme-appearing musicians sitting together in a room filled with red chairs. In the middle, a woman with short blonde hair wearing a black top and pants plays a small harp. To her left, a woman with long brown hair wearing a black t shirt, red plaid skirt and black tights sings along. To her right, a woman with long dark hair wearing a black mask, navy jumper and light sleeves plays the banjo, and further to the right a woman with short blue hair wearing a grey mask, blue shirt and blue jeans leans on a guitar. Behind them, a light-skinned person with blonde hair wearing a white mask and black top appears to be listening.

A white woman wearing a blue t shirt and jeans, standing behind a microphone playing a guitar. A white man with dark mustache and beard wearing a bandana on his head, green t shirt and jeans plays a hand drum behind her. Facing the musicians are a row of red chairs

Seen through the strings of a large harp, a white woman with long dark hair plays a guitar and sings behind a microphone. Other microphone and music stands are set up with nobody currently using them.

The most difficult nefarious thing about the idea of "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" is that it makes silence a negative by default. Brain weasels thrive in a vacuum.
