They're alive on neocities, at least. I think they're on the way back.

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

I'm keeping it light this week with A Witch's Guide to Magical Inkeeping and wrapping up the audiobook version of Of Monsters and Mainframes. Both represent a bit of a challenge read for me as the former's a romance and the latter is reading in a format I struggle with, a bit. Fingers crossed.

That looks like great fun!

Knowledge AND art. What more could you ask for?

Right, so this is ol’boy’s real/regular email address, not a burner—he’s written Google Maps reviews with it three years ago. That means he’s used it for lots of other things too.

Which means if Elizabeth wanted to track this guy down it would be piss easy

Extremely tiny and cute snapping turtle

I got yer timeline cleanse right here, folks. A whole clutch of teeny tiny snapping turtle behbehs emerged one at a time from their underground nest and crossed the gravel road while I and a couple other humans watched and made sure they were safe from anyone else coming along.

The world has been especially dark this week and the new baby tapir at the Calgary Zoo has been cheering me up.

The evil that men do lives after them

Really great look at these! I've only read half - now the other half soon!!

Something beautiful and hopeful.

This is so delightful 💕

Screenshot of the Nier/FFXIV crossover raid boss FC6F6E67696E67 otherwise known as The Compound. It rests on a raid playing field with a blue glowing kill wall and sunlit abandoned industrial walls beyond. The boss is a ball of partially formed human forms, greywhite in color. Body parts protrude here and there.

2P's gotta chime in here -

Let me just repeat my pinned post:

Remember, in totalitarian states, among the first people to be silenced are the artists, the poets, the writers. There's a reason for that.

Be that reason.

If you do art, keep doing art. Do it with as much passion as you can muster. Express yourself.

My timeline has been blessed and now yours has too!

Gender of Game Designers: Board Game Geek Top 500, January 2025 A pie chart: 92% of the pie is Designed only by men. They made 461 of the top 500 games. 6% of the pie is Designed by a mixed-gender group. They made 28 of the top 500 games. 1% of the pie is Designed only by women or non-binary people. They made 5 of the top 500 games. Data are for January 1, 2025, using the names in the Designer field on BGG. Not shown are 6 games in the top 500 that have uncredited designers.

Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)

A chart titled "Semiotic Standard" showing a collection of futuristic safety and system symbols designed for spacecraft. Each symbol is inside a square with red, black, white, gray, yellow, blue, or green coloring, and labeled with meanings such as “Pressurized Area,” “Cryogenic Vault,” “Airlock,” “Hazard/Warning,” “Exhaust,” “Radiation Hazard,” “High Radioactivity,” “Refrigeration,” “Direction,” and “Life Support System.” A legend at the bottom explains the color codes: red for visible/solid/alive/abnormal, white and grey for life-supporting conditions, black for vacuum and danger, yellow for harmful atomic/chemical processes, blue for lowered thermal condition, and green for biological substances. The chart is signed “R. Cobb.”

Semiotic Standard icons designed by Ron Cobb for the USCSS Nostromo in Alien (1979).
