This happened during the Bronze Age Collapse too. Canals filled in, big projects stopped. Your world contracts to just local conflicts and invading warlords.

When Nobody Comes to Fix the Bridge - Truthdig The decline and fall of a superpower, one piece of collapsed infrastructure at a time.

Every 7.5 minutes, an American man thinks about the Roman Empire. Albeit now with an increasingly dreadful sense of recognition.

A screenshot of a social media post from the account "GET A GRIP" (@docrussjackson ), timestamped 1 day ago, with a blue checkmark.

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

You joke, but I bet the Southeast would love this

Yep!

Not bad considering I'm months out of practice. #archery

Do this to your own books if you like, you do this to library books and you're dead to me

Happy 2025!

Title suggestions please

Went to see The Empire Strips Back! Great show!

I also finally got to wear this outfit 🖤

My latest over on the EITM Substack, covering the passing of the NDAA and the consequences thereof.

Give it a read folks. This is the first anti-LGBTQ+ amendment in over 30 years.

It wasn't a solution, but it was a start

YouTube video by F.D Signifier How the F*ck Did Trump Actually Win?

Compelling video looking at how Trump won. Spoiler: mostly boils down to racism and sexism.

Okay, why are strangers following my accounts? I am not interesting and I've made a grand total of three posts now and two of those were reposts

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

As a librarian, the constant use of library & archives in horror and fantasy works gives me infinite joy but also makes me a little sad because I’ve never stumbled across a cursed tome or found a criminal confession while digitizing a tape 😔
