You're telling me part of the mystery of the Voynich manuscript is because a BOOK BINDER went off the rails?!

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.

guys you're not gonna believe it but when it's not just straight white men writing all the ttrpgs you get new ideas?? and they're good???

I know I'm getting older because recently I've been thinking I should be making more miniature books.

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.

Jana is a genius and largely pioneered this field of study. MIT was lucky to have her.

MIT is also closing their wonderful Wunsch conservation lab, which is enormously short sighted. The staff working there are incredibly talented.

Every time someone tells me to watch the Sopranos I add a year of delay to watching the Sopranos.
