My want for a second edition of this game is tempered only by how much I do not want to make a box to hold everything that comes in the deluxe edition.

I think about her regularly. She was a bright star when I was just starting to learn. I often wonder what work she would be doing if she was alive.

This extremely cool game is currently struggling on Kickstarter (and asking a comically reasonable total to fund). If this is even a little your jam, please help make it happen: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wun... #ttrpg #pbta #no-ai

If you don’t occasionally treat yourself to a day of exploring used bookstores, greenhouses, libraries, cafés, and bakeries, then what’s the point of anything really?

Probably not gonna be at PAXU, but I do some cataloging to keep track of my ever growing collection of indie rpgs. My library degree does help with the original cataloging I have to do on A LOT of the books. My metadata is severely lacking but I do have some!

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

I would love to see Kestrel and Trustees plan go through. Hampshire Next should throw their money behind them.

In a similar vein, a bookbinder will likely have either a board chopper or a guillotine.

The only way to fully grasp iron gall ink is to start with how elemental iron is formed. And of course single cellular life that leads to oak trees and wasps.

When I teach, and especially when I teach teenagers, I stand on the shoulders of giants. However in this case they are the shoulders of every teacher I’ve had who told a long drawn out story that is only tangentially related to the topic being discussed.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

politico.com

Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her

The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

Sometimes Boston little free libraries deliver interesting things! These are all likely to go the students @nbssboston.bsky.social for repair prajects.

Three books, all with boards detached. All are likely from the 19th century. One is half bound in leather with marbled paper on the cover with a gold tooled line separating the paper from the leather. One is full bound in tree calf with marbled paper on the inside flyleaf.
