Reading up on Audubon for a radio interview and this sentence has some spectacular (read: terrible) vocabulary usage to avoid outright writing 'slave'. "The Audubons then acquired several more enslaved people "

Welp. Today is the first day someone whipped out their phone to ask an AI app on their phone instead of waiting for me to more accurately help their situation while at the library information desk.

Heckin' good work by @jasonrainville.bsky.social here. Hope he's got a card or two more in the set, because this and the Donatello were so darn good.

Sashimi is just popcorn salmon

A few drafting tips from two guys who definitely know what drafting is. #MTGLorwyn

It is wild just in general that there's a decade old musical franchise in Japan based on a gacha game of historic Japanese blades personified as hunk husbandos (mostly). It is even more wild that the vast majority of these are about the horror of war and PTSD. Followed by an idol concert.

so help me i'm like 'wake up babe, new pride flag dropped'

It's finally in my hands, so I can show off the silly thing I commissioned from @cloveralters.spikefeeders.com ! I got my favorite #toukenranbu boy Iwatooshi on a Gilgamesh, for extremely nerdy reasons (Gilgamesh is based on Benkei, Iwatooshi is the weapon of Benkei) Maddy did such a great job!

I once sat at a table near then-WWE wrestler Raven at a Village Inn in Ames, Iowa. I got to watch him walk into the kitchen to complain he didn't have a clean fork.

Tokyo Godfathers, Muppet Family Christmas, finishing Expedition 33… well, not a bad way to spend a Christmas alone, honestly.

I'm gearing up for a Christmas alone, and on top of that the wildness that is nearly a full week without my roommates. Gonna be a time.

If I had a nickel for every time @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social ran a bespoke RPG with a name that ends in 'adlands', I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but, etc. etc.

I'm just going to post this for @booksomewench.bsky.social and wait.

When @graham.loadingreadyrun.com showed up in this outfit I immediately was excited for the bit I assumed he was doing and he of course did not disappoint. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9H9... It's @desertbus.org time y'all, go watch and donate.

The Washington State University Cougar Marching Band freakin' played Trogdor at their halftime show this weekend! And made ME! My husky head finally gets its due! 50 freakin' yards high man!

@jacobburgess.bsky.social I would be amiss to not alert you to the Paranoia Miniatures Game coming out: modiphius.us/collections/...

Magic discourse be like

Playlist on shuffle just went from No Children by @themountaingoats.bsky.social into I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes and Drown You to Death) from Hades II and yes, correct mood.

This is the absolute funniest promo banner image I've ever seen. "Want to look miserable and lonely eating by yourself? Try Magic!"

Day 30 - Spooky/Character in Costume Happy Halloween from Mikkabochan (I know, I know, that was bad). Inspired by some delightful fanart on Twitter - x.com/siokaze58/st... - and my desire to have my own Date Masamune jack-o-lantern. (1/2) #cosplay #costober #刀剣乱舞 #燭台切光忠

"So that’s why, every year on the day before the last day of Autumn, the town commemorates him with a Bloody Fire Social. Pray Lord Scholar He watch over us and kill all the villains.” It's the yearly Halloween shoot! Happy Spooky Season, all. #cosplay #TGCF #HeXuan

If you made a cutesy collectible version of the Han Dynasty era general who betrayed Dong Zhuo, and it had a skinned knee, would that be a Labubu Lu Bu with a booboo?

Coworker: "You don't want to know how much goo is inside my head" Me, after a pause: "Correct, I don't."

I don’t know what it says about my subconscious that I dreamed I had a break down and was comforted by a group hug from my mother… and the wrestlers Mankind and Abyss.

Pulled comics from the Rare Books collection for next week's MIAD class visits to the library, including the most important Milwaukee comic book of all time. Also consider this post my attempted called shot @magic.wizards.com that if GLA appear in next year's Marvel set that I should preview it.

cooking price wise was a life changing discovery. just listen to the noise he makes pulling out this fuckin' soufflé.

Okay I know that's supposed to be Lord Windgrace but this just looks like the cover of someone's horny Blacksad Post-Apocalypse fanfic novel.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

No comment.

@loadingreadyrun.com - not sure where to report this, but did want to let y'all know that on the YT short advertising the newest EDSC, YouTube added AI dubbing for non-English languages. I think that's potentially a setting somewhere you might be wanting to switch off?

Who’s solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.

Day 18: Black/White Time for my favorite Jojo's boy, Bruno. Abbacchio is @momijizukamori.bsky.social #costober #cosplay #jjba

Today I get to do the world's poorest @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com impression by running a library program entirely to play a 3 hour playlist of obscure 80s and 90s Milwaukee bands while showing off music related items from our rare books collection.

Day 15! Something that isn't a reblog! Favorite prop is... The anchor. Look, it's not often you make something you like so much that you eventually get a tintype taken with it. #costober #cosplay #sengokubasara

Day 13 - Meme I think the combo of JJBA and Majima Everywhere is like, double-meme. Featuring @pinnedtogether.bsky.social as Pirate Majima, @ap1ary.bsky.social as Shinsengumi Majima, and two very fun strangers we met at D*C dressed as the JJBA sign and sound effects. #cosplay #costober

I am absolutely in shock that @robowieland.bsky.social is no longer with us. He was one of a kind and I was lucky to have known him.

Me any time I see raspberries:

Legitimately can't wait to hear @coachnelly.bsky.social talk about the Canlander viability of my childhood heroes. I was a weird kid.

this implies the existence of a Yaoi Gagarin

excuse me while I lol

Day 6 - sword/weapon I have a bunch that would fit for this, but let's go with Mr Swordboy Poster Child himself, Mikazuki Munechika, because I put in a fair bit of work on the blade and koshirae (which started as a generic black wood katana) #costober #cosplay #刀剣乱舞 #三日月宗近

Day 6: Sword ...I have a lot of sword cosplays, but here's the fancy bird with his fancy hyogo-kusari koshirae (which he absolutely does not use). #costober #cosplay #toukenranbu #tsurumarukuninaga

Double-post because Day 5 is: Long I based my version of Howl on a description in the book, when he first meets Sophie: 'His sleeves trailed longer than any in the Square, all scalloped edges and silver insets.' Probably not the best choice for a first quilting project! #costober #cosplay #HMC

Am I doing this last minute because I am indecisive? Yes. Anyway, I don't play overall 'favorites', but this is a good combo of 'character I like' and 'costume I love,' He Xuan from TGCF. Hua Cheng is @momijizukamori.bsky.social #costober #cosplay #hexuan
