So once again here's that link to the project if you'd like to fight an out of order time war and unleash the butterfly effect upon reality. The next stretch goal unlocks the solo game mode.

Please help kickstart my friend's ttrpg so I can put my editing hat on again (and buy his others! They're excellent!)
Moments like these are why I run crowdfunders - they give me the opportunity to hire people like Carly and @emzyesque.bsky.social (and Val and @blairsmithdesign.bsky.social on previous projects) to make my games shine and I consider myself lucky to be in a position to do so.

The British Library is a copyright deposit library. If this means a wholesale undoing of copyright to redefine books, art, movies etc as 'data' to please the techbros, the creative industries and all of us working in them are screwed. And viewers and readers will get unoriginal, derivative slop.
Listening to #radio4 discussion of 'sovereign data' such as the British Libraries books as a resource that can generate income by being leased to Ai tech companies. Rather wish government had recognised its sovereign data status for the rest of us when the Library was hacked. #AcademicSky

Wasn't expecting to get teary eyed over Timothy Spall and a cute robot, can recommend 'This Time Away' sci-fi short film for A+ adorable robot design.

Finished my latest volunteering project with The Ballast Trust! I have catalogued 190 legal documents (mostly leases and water rights) relating to the Caledonian Canal from the 1860s-1980s. Fascinating stuff! I had no idea there was an inland lighthouse on Loch Ness 💡

Late night shift at the library and someone is practicing a beautiful piano piece one floor above; the faintest strains of jazz are filtering through the walls to lift my weary head 💜

Of course I missed the Aurora Borealis as we were off on our first holiday since pre-Covid. Dunoon was lovely but facing the wrong direction! Any chance of a repeat now I'm back in the city, Sol??

Picked up a beautiful edition of an alternative history/dystopic Scottish sci fi book from 1936, enjoying it immensely. Weirdly prescient of the war yet to come and a commentary on pacifism, nestled in a love poem to the Scottish countryside.

Just tried to read a fanfic AU where a 'librarian' MC just purposely ignored another character's obvious need for help THREE whole times and I just can't with this terrible librarianing, that's a DNF from me 😆
Someone needs to go read S. M. Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science!

Boys Like Girls covered TWICE's 'I Can't Stop Me' and I need to know if there's a German word for 'that feeling when your teenage years suddenly and unexpectedly slam into your adult interests' because I am reeling 😆

In a "no way!" moment, SLIM, JAXA's moon lander has only gone and woken up for a 2nd time!!!
JAXA: "some temperature sensors and unused battery cells are starting to malfunction, but the majority of functions that survived the first lunar night was maintained even after the second lunar night!" 🥳🧪🔭

Chandra, the space-based observatory that brings us incredible x-ray images of the most extreme environments in the cosmos, is at risk of cancellation. It’ll be a huge loss to astronomy if the mission ends prematurely for budget reasons. Go to www.savechandra.org to find out how to help #SaveChandra

The King of England lies dying and one of his sons has been exiled. A princess has vanished. Plague stalks the land and the Treasury has been plundered.
NOW is the time for strange women lying in ponds to distribute swords to form the basis of government.
