DERELICT is a co-op game for 1-4 players in which you explore a derelict spaceship, rescue its nuclear fuel core, and try not get killed by whatever did in the main crew. The 1st half is reminiscent of Betrayal, and the 2nd half has combat mechanics inspired by Gloomhaven discord.gg/MmuKAEKDG

Thinking for the first time today about how actually, in the nursery rhyme, the butcher the baker and the candlestick maker ALL have very important jobs in a pre-electrification world. As a kid, I always thought "one of these things is not like the other" I see you now, candlestick maker!

What a killer deal! Listening to this while I try to finish this warp 😅

Bookbinding / book arts friends, help!! I have a bunch of old posters and other large ephemera I want to bind together to put in my keepsake box. They're various sizes, and for practical purposes some need to be folded into quarters. How would you approach this?

Teaching Text Mining for History/Lit again for the first time in a while, what corpora are people excited about?

I’ve seen in two culture /higher ed magazines recently the claim that the printing press engendered a crisis of authority at universities bc anyone could publish what they wanted and people could learn things without universities. This is not true.

Shout out to Spokane Public Radio for their fire coverage today, and for breaking format to play KHQ's new coverage this evening too. With power out & bad cell service, being able to get info over the radio is a comfort!

I love this kind of local history! Toponymy!! 🥰

You know work is going great when an unplanned tooth extraction was the *least* stressful part of your day 😅

One of my favorite things in life is the way music speaks to you differently in different stages of life. Revisiting some college favorites recently and finding they hit really different a dozen years later 🥰 💔

just got an email from my (former) chair that the university has acted & the state has approved the formal closure of my department. this was done without any faculty input on the decision or the process, & has ended a vibrant, growing (!), humanities department that won teaching and research awards

I am not being the most consistent with #TourDeFleece but in fairness I have an new obstacle named Benji

All warped with a chaotic mix of cotton I had on hand and threaded rosepath to do a little sampling while I get to know the loom ❤️❤️ #dhmakes if you're a weaver, drop your favorite 4-shaft patterns 😊

It's here!!!

Y'all were not convincing and now I might be driving 14 hours round trip this weekend to pick up a (free!!!) Artistat 😭🤩

Playing the game Ransom Notes with friends yesterday, and I'm *quite* pleased with how I did summarizing Romeo and Juliet from a random pool of word magnets 😅

My phone recently got this "Comfort view" feature that reduces color intensity on the screen-- I've had on for many weeks now and on the rare occasion I turn it off I'm appalled at how saturated everything is "normally"! How did I stare at that all the time?? (my attempt to simulate pictured below)

Repost the Leather Dachshund from Seattle Pride 1991 to be blessed this Pride Month!

I miss when tech bros were just really into VR/AR

#BookHistory people, we gotta join forces with #DHmakes to take care of paper, parchment, and vellum making!
