Does anyone have a del.icio./us alternative that I can self-host? (Added a slash because the site is long gone.) Just a list of links with description, tagging, sort by tag, sort by tag combination ideally. Would prefer not to have a separate WP install just for this.

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

If you liked that, here's a reminder that I've got a bunch more stories you can read other places, such as in my latest collection from @wordhorde.bsky.social:

A vital piece of trans allyship is actually in supporting children's rights to bodily autonomy from the out. Someone is complaining their child wants to cut their hair short or grow it long? Point out that it's the child's hair. Why shouldn't they have it how they want it? Why is that parent upset?

This was such a cool event, truly a pleasure to participate in it! Thank you @chrismarnone.bsky.social for inviting me, and @univpressofkansas.bsky.social for the book :) There are even more photos on the instagram account of the press: www.instagram.com/p/DaQaHFRCPfw/

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

A professor in Tufts University’s School of Engineering required one of his international graduate students to work an unpaid TA job this past spring semester. After she went to her union and blew the whistle, Tufts withdrew her from her program. A thread of rage. 1/

I mean, I feel there's a lot of subtext going on here

A classic from my collection: Better Homes & Gardens Handyman's Book - originally published in 1951, then updated in 1957. The interior illustrations were by a BH&G regular: Roy Mathews, which I'll post in this thread. #wardsmorguefile

"If you look like a dragon to yourself but are human, then how do you know those things that look like humans aren't something else?"

We are swiftly headed for a society in which a trans kid must undergo state mandated torture, are banned from being on line, are banned from hanging out in most public spaces, are banned from using bathrooms at school, banned from accessing the health care they need, and banned from playing sports.

We are officially two weeks away from The Dragon Has Some Complaints! So I want to play a game. Give me a number between 1 and 371, and I’ll give you a line from that page in the book.

ICYMI earlier today! This is coming tomorrow!

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

Doing research into werewolves and shapeshifters for THE DEVOURERS was sooo much fun. There is a mention in the novel of the shapeshifters migrating to the Mughal Empire being pursued by a devout 'Thiessian' tribe called the 'Hounds of God', & I do regret not turning that into a proper plotline.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

Do you want METROIDBRAINIA games from the Steam sale? Do you want a whole heap of them? I made this list of relevant bundles because I couldn't find anything like it!! I hope it helps :) www.reddit.com/r/metroidbra... #PuzzleGames #Metroidbrainia #SteamSale #Steam #IndieGames

I am enraged and sad at the sale of @sciam.bsky.social, which caused the layoffs of many excellent journalists including my editor @jfischman.bsky.social. Josh coached and shepherded me through multiple long SciAm features including two cover stories. He made my work so much better and I am bereft.

If you stopped paying attention to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I recommend you start again - a LOT has been going on, especially in occupied Crimea, but also in the Russian heartland. There is actually a lot of information right here on Bluesky too.

Proud to be the 336th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Common Bonds 3 - An Anthology of Aromantic SFF! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... - Just finished reading the second one and enjoyed it! So this was an easy decision.

Things are moving fast in Ukraine's campaign to make holding Crimea untenable for Ru. It illustrates that the "Ukraine can never recover all its territory" and "there's no military solution to this conflict" assumptions, dominant as they've been, are increasingly unwarranted...

Hmm, getting visibility on my GOTY25 video has been a bit of a struggle, but there's a steam sale on now and everyone always likes when I do a big thread of sale recommendations, and all of the games in my video are on sale, so what if... Hmm, delightfully devilish Casey! GOTY25 Steam Sale Recs! 🤠

Can we think of independent female directors with kids? Reading Vulture's article about how indie directors barely make any money made me think about a lot of the sacrifices people make, and I feel like a lot of the women I admire in this space chose not to have kids bc of it

Bumping this for the Steam summer sale!

The upshot of this decision is that once it goes into effect, hundreds of thousands of people who have been living and working legally in the United States, some for many years, and many who entered completely legally, will lose their work permits and deportation protections.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.
