Reminding my American friends to check to make sure they're registered to vote way before November. Even if you think you are - doublecheck just to make sure you don't fall pray to shennanigans.

One of the interesting aspects of the special edition market is the perception of what makes a book special. Most of the subscription boxes etc have fun stuff like new art or sprayed edges--but what they don't have is sturdier binding. A glued spine instead of sewn will always mean the book isn't

set up for longevity. It's the aesthetic of fine binding altered for mass-market cost-effectiveness. But book publishing has always had that--endbands don't provide a functional purpose anymore but a book feels weird without them.

This also has a ripple effect in the letterpress and hand-binding space, as the desire for genre books in a fine-press format has increased demand for experts in an endangered crafts-space. @oliviawaite.com you are going to be at Worldcon, right? I would love to chat about this more!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Just bought a cool organizer and I can't wait to show off my bookbinding tools with it.

Folks keep asking how they can support me while I'm focused on whistles. I super appreciate it, but also I get very self-conscious. So if you REALLY WANT TO, you can support us at ko-fi.com/kitrocha but I'd rather you get something in return! LIKE CRANKY CLICKERS? thebrokencircle.etsy...

To reduce the odds of accidentally bonking the target with an ice ball, use salt water in your balloons. Warm salt water may be procured from sources as near as your bladder.

I did not know that shouting "fucking bitch" after shooting someone three times in the face causes internal bleeding, the more you know, right
