    Every once in a while I silently marvel at the fact that I can be nonbinary. I mean, if this stuff had been around when I was a kid I would have been all over it!! I'm glad it happened while I'm still... pretty immature.

    Someone decided to upload nearly 700 Sudanese music cassette tapes. This is some really fine music. They scanned the cassette liners as well, which is a nice bonus. Relax into the weekend:

    Watching the aimless, bored behavior of these clowns at the Capitol, it becomes wildly clear that these are people who have never had to fight for their rights

    Remember. All these are CHOICES and people in power are CHOOSING to let radical white and right wing extremists run amok inside the US Capitol. This is a very big day for American hypocrisy.

    Reminder fo what capitol "security" in full military-grade riot gear looked like for Black Lives Matter protests this summer.

    This is an event that comes from decades of feeding a reactionary fire, and yet it will absolutely be used by some as an excuse to restrict civil rights and target protestors on the left. Get ready for that fight now.

    Curling up with this one over the break!

    Cover image of How Pac-Man Eats by Noah Wardrip-Fruin, published by The MIT Press
    It's publication day! My new book — How Pac-Man Eats — takes on two big questions: What are games really doing when we play them? & How can games be *about* something?

    Perfect winter replacement for my bird-watching tendencies!

    Alba: a Wildlife Adventure may be targeted to a younger audience but it features a sophisticated bird watching gameplay. The animals behave realistically and the whole (Balearic-ish) island has an ecological specificity I've never seen before in a game

    The "How To with John Wilson" ep on memory is still blowing my mind a day later. The Mandela Effect: Febreze is spelled Febreeze in some folk's memory, which proves alternate universes? Ok. I'm on board.

    Wow. I guess this pandemic invented...going to work in sweatpants and a button-down?

    NEW YORKERS: Today I learned the design for these radiators came about during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. Engineers wanted to keep an apartment warm while ventilating the space from airborne illnesses because THEY WERE MEANT TO BE KEPT ON WITH THE WINDOWS FULLY OPEN (!!!!)

    Psyched about this book of micro RPGs, particularly because I'm always trying to run RPGs in my classes, and many are just a bit too long to fit.

    Y'all it is my publishing day for The ultimate Micro RPG Book! I am so proud of the way this book looks and absolutely floored by the talent of folks who contributed to it. Please support this book because I want to see more books like it out there.
