Truly one of the coolest library spaces out there. Any of my DC nerds need a fun night out where you feel like you’re actually making something better?

Query from a student: is there a place where option deals on books are made public?

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS

THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

I moved off Canvas this fall, and have set up spring using Box folders with some refinements from my students: organizing everything in weekly folders, & adding a shared calendar they can subscribe to in order to give them the deadline alerts they miss from Canvas.

@diplomatea.bsky.social wanted a moving jaw and interchangeable eyes so this friend is really best viewed in motion

Emily Kugler and Emily Friedman

@emnk.bsky.social often holds me down at these cons. She insists she has fun, but she’s also there more & more as my handler: not because I’m beating off crowds, but because it’s hard for me to regulate. So it’s a godsend to have someone who gets it but isn’t IN this space, who came up with me.

Trying to convince myself that I have enough tarot decks but 😍

A little tidbit: @janeese4dc.bsky.social just told me that her campaign qualified for public financing in just four hours since launching. That required getting $40,000 in small donations from at least 1,000 D.C. residents. That's pretty fast.

Cheers to all of us still learning in our 40s and beyond.

I am excited to hear about the Steam release. @friede.bsky.social and I the game's praises at a Global Jane Austen conference this summer. It's also on one of my syllabi this semester.

Amateurish anime style art of sprites with various expressions of a middle aged woman in an 18th century purple dress holding a fan in front of her face.

The same character drawn in a more detailed and competent style.

I've been slowly improving the Northanger Sprites in advance of an eventual Steam release, this is probably the one I was least happy with and it's definitely improved! Never think it's too late to improve your art, I was in my late 30s when I drew the first lot and am still learning in my 40s.

Wild to think @emnk.bsky.social and I have been teaching and publishing about this NA adaptation for damn near half a decade.

My super, mega boardgame nerd, totally brilliant at every game, would put up against anyone friend @carrideen.c18.masto.host.ap.brid.gy HAS NEVER PLAYED CATAN, so we are playing this morning.

I am Player One.

This is my ONE SHOT to beat my genius friend.

Prayers please.

Very glad to see this as @emnk.bsky.social and I prepare to nerd out about Austen games at Global Austen.

Do you want an unopened box for it?

Three sealed boxes of games: Decathlon, River Raid and Hero. Then a mystery: unboxed Decathlon, Hero and a third game.

Many issues of Computer Gazette from the 80s. Plus joysticks, Manuel's, cassettes, cartridges, floppies

Commodore VIC-20

Commodore with Adventure Land and some other games.

A problem that I never thought I'd have: finding homes for multiple Commodores. Here's the latest one with the other things it was boxed with.

We've seen this from anti-vaxxers and other conspiracy movements for years: Act like frothing-at-the-mouth psychos and then accuse scientists of conspiracy for behaving like they're being targeted by frothing-at-the-mouth psychos.

TTRPG folks: if you have worked on games involving the Early Modern period or Shakespeare, could you let me know?

Everyone 100% should check this out.

Love this and Rachel and her work!!

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas!

i am not looking forward to more bearded white dudes in giant baby car seats surrounded in mausoleums of 80s and 90s nostalgia bathed in RGB giving the absolute shittiest socio-political takes because they miss the taste of Hi-C Ecto Cooler

Not an exaggeration to say I wouldn't be writing about games without Polygon. Every layoff hurts but this one is fucking devastating. These journalists deserved so much better.
