this past month I've been interviewing various alt game event organisers, collectives and curators past & present for my upcoming article in @apwot.bsky.social - spending time chatting with that international community has been so darn restorative & delightful.

The greatest thing that has happened to me all year happened today.
I know the bar isn’t super high but…
I caught a clearance sale at the bougie clothes shop in town.
I have purchased £1270 worth of clothes… reduced to 80 bloody quid.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Big stationary news for me - I’ve changed out my main pen to a Twisbi Eco (broad nib)
I never truly loved my Kaweco Sport (nib often ran dry) + the refillable cartridge is soooo small.
The Twisbi has a piston ink compartment which means NO cartridges & boy howdie it writes so satisfyingly.

Whilst I’m not yet ready to ‘dance out’ I went to watch & support the Morris side I’ve been learning with on Boxing Day.
Roo came along as well and was SO well behaved - although not a huge fan of the drum and bell heavy dances.
