The two part ~7 hour game about constructing an alien culture by developing their written language and decoding the other aliens message had a lot of opportunity for me to learn about linguistics but the only thing to stick is agglutinate. Fun tricky brain time is good for me. #forgemidwest #Madison
We were provided a choice of alien scripts, and many pieces of paper later and the table was covered in square scraps of paper showcasing the development of our alien language.

while out on adventures I decided to kill time by stopping in the Glen Carbon Centennial Library and they gave free books, look what I scored!
The image shows the cover of a book titled "Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World" by Anne Jamison. The cover features the large, stylized text "fic" in red, with the subtitle "Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World" below. The author's name, Anne Jamison, is displayed at the top, along with a list of other contributing writers. There's is a scratched out library barcode on the top right corner indicating the book is a discard.

The comic consists of four panels. The first panel shows a group of cheerful yeast-like characters in a fermentation tank, with the caption "Imagine being a yeast in a fermentation tank". The second panel shows the yeast characters celebrating in the clouds, with the caption "It must be so fun at first... sugar everywhere, just a giant party". The third panel depicts the yeast characters suddenly suffocating, with the caption "But then suddenly the sugar is gone and everyone suffocates in their own excrement". The fourth panel shows a person deciding to leave Twitter, with the caption "On an unrelated topic, I've decided to leave Twitter".
