So excited for my new book!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Will be in Noho for the first time in ages this afternoon. I need the gay recharge 🌈🌈🌈

Engage with art and media directly. Follow footnotes and citations like a trail of breadcrumbs. Look at digitised archival materials (maybe even go to an archive if you’re able). But I think a really important facet of research that is often left out is speaking to other people! Talk to experts!

trying to play Pathfinder with flu shot brain is interesting

Hair? Cut. Kouign-amann? Amazing. Flu shot? FINALLY STABBED

TATU?! TATU AS HE WALKS INTO THE CLUB?! I SCREAM #heatedrivalry #HeatedRivalrySpoilers

A heads-up to anyone traveling to the U.S. from abroad: Be prepared for increased scrutiny of your online presence. Travelers from countries like Britain, France, Germany, and South Korea could soon be subject to a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a

Look at this sweet baby I found in one of our collections at work! #Alaska #PribilofIslands

Oop! Didn't catch an offensive word in the caption of that seal photo. My apologies to anyone who might have seen that. I took it down without prompting because that's not a word i use or support.

On that note, if anyone is willing to share some cute pet pics I could use them right about now.

A reminder to archivists to not just powering thru if you find something upsetting in a collection. Our days can go from the joy of finding important photographs in under-described collections to finding traumatic materials within seconds. Take a break, get a snack. Your mental health matters.

What news on the winds? 🐉 We are thrilled to share that GODKILLER: Last Hope has won Best Actual Play Video at the Rio Web Fest, with @seaplaysrpg.bsky.social picking up the award for Best Actual Play Player/GM! This is our final award show this year, and we couldn't be more proud of our work. ♥️

I really hate asking this, esp before the holiday, but I’m having an emergency. My filling broke and I have a painful abscess that needs immediate care. I don’t have dental insurance and could really use a hand. I’m so sorry to ask. I can barely eat or sleep. #mutualaid ko-fi.com/candacethema...

Second PhD application has been submitted. And now we wait.

Remember that striking Starbucks workers are asking you not to buy Starbucks right now

Running an archives open house at work today focusing on printing plates, so of course I had to wear my @hushfallarchives.bsky.social marginalia shirt! #archives

SHE'S COMING BACK (soon!) mark your calendars: the unicorn's garden and many pieces from our Unearthed collection will be back in stock and ready for Black Friday~ What are you most excited about?

Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

I am boarding my flight as we speak—but i can still use a bit of help making sure I deal with incidentals (especially since some portion of this journey includes A TRAIN now!) Thank you all so much for your help so far! Don’t hesitate to say hi if you’ll be at PAXU!

Yeah so. My food stamps are discontinued, and my car has died. I just wanna eat and provide for Ichiban, so if you can help out I would appreciate it. I also have a lot of overdue bills that have piled up as well—everything is just a lot right now and I could use some assistance. ko-fi.com/breeedo

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Putting myself in archivist time out for the rest of the day after misunderstanding what something in DSpace would do and having to submit a ticket.

OH HELLO Come meet my wholesome Ghoul, Philomena Walcott, as she travels the wasteland of MAnHATtan with a Bix, a muscled out Child of Atom, Missus Trimbley, a caregiving robot with a delightful ward, and fellow Ghoul turned bus driver Crash “the Pants” Cooper. It’s a wonderfully weird time!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I have a feeling she's pulling our fate strings, anyway. ...mine's connected to yours. Where you go, I go. 💙 📸: Danny Reyes Vex'ahlia belongs to @laurabaileyvo.bsky.social and @criticalrole.bsky.social #cosplay #criticalrole #criticalrolecosplay #vex #vexahlia #vexahliacosplay #c2e2 #c2e22025

Hopefully people are remembering that sexual assault victims can read what they’re saying

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

There is so little to be joyful about in politics and governance these days, so I will openly weep tears of joy that myself and my community can continue to marry those we love without interference at this time ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

First PhD App is sent out, please cross fingers and send vibes if that is your thing.

A wonderful bean gave us foxes at renfaire and gifted us these cute foxesss! This is also…..my favorite picture of us. So thank you!! 😭♥️♥️♥️

FYI I’m especially keen these days to talk to: - folks who were at the D&D Live events 2017-19 - AP creators pre-2010(ish) - AP creators who do/have done charity events - any game designer or AP creator with Shakespearean or pre-1800 projects (existing or any stage of development)

I don't usually do this, but I will be at #PAXU and would love to know about your booth/panel/other cool thing. I'm in the final stretch of the first draft of the AP book, so would also love to talk to folks I haven't had a chance to (along with familiar faces I''ll be glad to see again).

Video games designers, tabletop designers, and all Itchio indie creators, please consider submitting your games to the JAMAICA DISASTER RELIEF charity bundle. itch.io/jam/disaster...

They’ll insist this is a one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else. They’re wrong. New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe. If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I'm super stoked that Colorado voted to fund free meals for kids for schools. (I've been saying lunches, but the program includes breakfasts, too.)

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

What we know, 10:20pm —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, *and* AG —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —Dems keep PA supreme court —Larry Krasner & Bragg win — GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —JD Vance’s half-brother loses Cincy —Dems sweep Orlando council —ME anti-mail vote measure loses
