‘TWAS THE NIGHT OF SANTA’S PRIVACY PROBLEM Santa Claus Myth x The Little Trailblazer With the help of Mrs. Claus, Santa rethinks how he operates. Can he fix his Privacy Problem and stay off the Naughty List to save Christmas? #P2Ppit #PB #W

Mint background. Title at the top reads: "Agent's Guide to 'Twas the Night of Santa's Privacy Problem”. The text reads: “It's almost Christmas and Santa has a problem. A big problem. Apparently, kids (and government regulators) take issue with how he collects, uses, and keeps his Christmas intel. If he can't change his ways, Christmas may not happen all together. Through the wise advice of Mrs. Claus, Santa learns how to build and deliver Christmas without invading the Privacy of kids (and adults) around the world.

This story was inspired by the authors' own concern that telling the story of Santa claus would teach their children to be complacent with surveillance and bad privacy practices. The story uses witty yet informative rhyme to give adults and children alike a new way to talk about Santa Claus.”

Mint background. Title at the top reads: “COMPS for 'Twas the Night of Santa's Privacy Problem”. There is a bulleted list of 3 works.
The Little Trailblazer, by Joan Holub (author) and Daniel Roode (September 5, 2017)
Baby Loves Electrical Engineering on Christmas, By Ruth Spiro (Author) and Irene Chan (Illustrator) (August 24, 2021)
THE Little Cyber Engineer by Amber Devilbiss (Author, Illustrator) (July 17, 2022)
Underneath the list comes the cover images of each of the books.

On the right, the image is of a book with a navy cover. Its title is The Little Cyber Engineer is the title in yellow text. The image is of a little girl in all black looking like a ninja or hacker. She's carrying a sack full of money. The author and illustrator is listed in the bottom right hand corner in white and yellow text.

Mint background. Title at the top reads: “Tropes in 'Twas the Night Before Santa's Privacy Problem”. Then there is a list of 5 tropes.
Sparkle emoji. Retelling of the Santa Claus Myth, Santa head emoji.
female scientist emoji. STEM lessons in witty rhyme
wolf emoji. No real villains
supervillain emoji. Redemption arcs superhero emoji.
open laptop emoji. Digital messages in (mostly) analog format. old style dial telephone emoji.

At the bottom of the slide, are two concept sketches that are watermarked to credit the illustrator, Giana Molinari. On the left is a black and white sketch where Mrs Claus stands in front of an easel as if teaching Santa. She has a lightbulb over her head and she points to the easel reading: “Christmas Model” with the bullets “privacy,” “optional opt-out,” “consent,” and “notice.” Next to her, Santa smiles on his computer. In the second sketch, Santa sits at his computer looking stressed. Both he and his computer have marks above them indicating confusion and concern. Santa is wearing his traditional red and white costume. He has a blue mug that appears to have steam coming out of it. The confusion marks coming from his head appear in yellow. The desk is a dark brown. The background is a grayish-lavendar.

There is text on the slide that states: “Re-telling and updating of the Santa Claus mythology utilizing core privacy concepts like consent and data minimization” on the bottom right under the outlined person.
Text at the bottom left reads: “Art by Giana Molinari”

This slide is a mood board w/ light green background. There are 3 rows of boxes with either text or images.
1st row, from L to R - 1st box has black text on a white background reading “He spies. He collects data in bulk. He never deletes. Really, he's breaking the law.” The 2nd image is a black image with light blue lines and dots and numbers. 3rd image is the image of an elf doll hanging onto a Christmas tree decorated with tinsel. 4th box Has an image of an opulent library. A little Christmas tree made of books with a blue ribbon on top. The image has text crediting the image to Alea Garbagnati.
2nd row, from L to R - 1st box is an image with a white background. There are two hands with white writing on them saying “Yes” and “No.” 2nd box has an image of Santa Claus set against a white background. He is standing with one finger up & as if he were saying “Ho ho ho.” On the ground is a red velvet that looks full. 3rd box is black text set against a white background reading “Santa is bad at Privacy.” Underneath that text reads: “Unless otherwise noted, concept art created or collected from Canva or other publicly available resources” in small text in the bottom left. The Last box is an image of hands holding a tablet computer . In the screen of the tablet computer is a blue graphic with a lock and the word “PRIVACY.”
In the final row, from L to R - 1st box is a blurred street video photo. In the foreground of the photo is a giant eyeball. The eye is looking at a series of binary code (1s and 0s) and the code is reflected in the eye. 2nd box is black text set against a white background. The text reads “Can Santa change his ways and embrace privacy-by-design?” In the third image set against a red background are two red elf dolls playing with a red box with numbers 1 to 24 (and Advent calendar box). There are green decorative trees with light snow dusting next to the box. In the final box is an image of a woman and boy set against a white background.

Grim Portents HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE A man is murdered by a hell-beast on his wedding day. Now, with the help of the reaper who collected his soul, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell if he wants to return to the life he was robbed of. 📖 #UW #Q #A #P #F #M #Hu #P2Ppit

Character art of the three leads: Bill, Sonny, and Maya. Sonny is the one who looks like a corpse. It says Grim Portents in red letters

"I always told myself it wasn't real. It was a figment of my imagination, the mind playing tricks. It was just a shadow.
But now the monster had been given a name, an identity.
It was real."

BILL BAKER WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO MARRY THE WOMAN HE LOVES, BUT WHEN HIS WEDDING IS INTERRUPTED BY A RAMPAGING HELL-BEAST, HIS LIFE IS THROWN INTO DISARRAY. DESPERATE FOR A SECOND CHANCE, HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO SET HIS FUTURE BACK ON TRACK.
NOW, WITH THE HELP OF A SOUL-COLLECTING REAPER NAMED SONNY, HE MUST UNCOVER WHO IS RELEASING MONSTERS FROM HELL, IN ORDER TO EARN BACK THE LIFE THAT WAS STOLEN FROM HIM AND PREVENT THE ONCOMING END OF DAYS.
FACED WITH THE CHOICE BETWEEN WHAT IS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS EASY, BILL MAY HAVE TO SACRIFICE ALL HE HOLDS DEAR FOR ONE LAST SHOT AT LIFE.

A BROKEN SPELL Trinity was the town’s scapegoat. If something went wrong, she got the blame. At the age of 10 she decided to live up to this reputation. Then, just after her 18th birthday, a stranger came to call, talking madness about her destiny, magic & demons. #P2Ppit #Q #YA #F

8 photos. In the centre is a black page with a red rose beside it and a poem/ spell written in red on the page reading; Dunk the witch, let water fill her lungs. Burn the skin, let flame take her tongue. Hang the body, let none stay among. Left side top – a flying open book in a circle of books in a library. Below this written in white script is the word enchantments. Middle top a flash of blue lightning. Right side top – a picture of glass jars filled with herbs and powders on a shelf. Below this – right bottom corner an open book being held by three sets of women’s hands. Below this is written in white script the title of story – A broken spell. In the centre bottom – a picture of an eye with a rainbow crossing it. In the bottom left corner is a picture of a set of shelves filled with different jars. Overlapping this photo’s corner and that of the middle photo is a silhouette of a couple kissing. Below this photo is the word magic written in white script.
