I think it would be good enrichment if you gave a bunch of librarians the chance to hunt James Patterson for sport
it’s not that i think women authors should get a pass for writing bad books because they’re women it just does not escape my notice that the various women purveyors of mass market novels on sale in the airport are hunted for sport daily whilst james patterson and his ilk remain at large

Hey, immersive, larp, ARG, theater and game folks: I'm working on Immersipedia and I'm linking out to other design/knowledge wikis like the Puzzle Hunt wiki, Nordic Larp wiki and Game Detectives, plus the whole WikiBruce archive. Are there any others I should be including?

No lie, I miss when LiveJournal lost “the juice”, inasmuch as it ever had it as a platform, because nothing else since has ever offered the same level of control to the user
Things that no platform has done better than LiveJournal:
- Selective audience lists
- The read more collapsed post
- Topic tagging for discovery and muting
- Clickable interest lists on your profile
- Current music field on every post
- Goat mascot foretelling that it would forever be the best

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.

Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

This is great news. 📚

Poems are now battlefields.
"Our society might have stumbled into the most embarrassing possible cyberpunk dystopia, but—as of today—it's at least one in which wordwizards who can mesmerize the machine mind with canny verse and potent turns of phrase are now a pressing cybersecurity threat."

everyone has dainty translucent wings. alphas are obligate herbivores or allergic to red meat. omegas are omnivores but when the Breeding Urge hits them, they have to consume as much vertebrate blood as possible, the fresher the better. Everyone has a pair of dainty translucent flightless wings.

“you’re too old for fandom” is ridiculous. i only want to read fanfiction written by people old enough to know what the citrus scale is.

Happy International Men's Day, esp to Trans, GNC, NBi, multi-gendered, and Intersex Men.

Never forget that there are a whole bunch of diverse men out there!

+ so many are queer badasses & heartthrobs, like Emmett Preciado and Nico Carney
💙 (both star in the all queer/Trans film "She's The He") 💖

Did you know you can read over 300 stories about trans dudes in gay situations? Sometimes horny and sometimes just romantic? Well, you can and you should! This collection is a treasure trove of stuff and too many stories here are neglected.

Go find something new to love!
