I HATE the job market these days. As someone trying to do a career change for the past year and a half, I do not recommend any part of this. I have an MLIS, I love data, spreadsheets, learning, and video games. Books are my passion. Transferrable skills abound! Hire me, damnit!

Finished @alexwhite.bsky.social's A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe today. Really - *chef's kiss*. The characters all have flaws in some way, which was lovely, and - obviously - FOUND FAMILY! I cried over a robot. Also, the epilogue! So many good things here. I recommend. Book 2 arriving soon!

In addition to video games, preservation, and books, I also cook and bake. Currently recovering from surgery, so I have quite a bit of time on my hands. I liked how these came out, so thought I would share. Deviled Eggs with Lox. Recipe mostly from Skinny Taste, but I adjusted a bit. #Cooking

39 years ago today, Nintendo released The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu for the Famicom Disk System in Japan. In doing so, they kicked off one of the most popular and influential game series the medium has ever seen. Happy Birthday #LegendOfZelda!

A friend and I are currently reading the same book (it never happens). I have sent him no less than ten messages today trying to gauge where he is so I can talk about this. He's nowhere near me. I just reached another point in the book that has me "Charlie Day-ing" and I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT

(Future) #librarian here. I would like to ask: what is your favorite thing about your local #library?

Free tickets to cultural programs?

Free Internet access and a quiet place to work?

Uncensored knowledge and knowing you're radical just by reading and not buying into the tyranny?

Cause same.

Welcome to my soapbox thread!

1/ 🎮 Over the past 20 years, video game preservation has seen massive strides! Emulators, digital libraries, remasters, and legal wins have helped protect gaming history. But why does this matter - especially for independent studios? Let’s dive in. #GamePreservation

Any Black Friday/Small Business Saturday deals I shouldn't miss in relation to this? #IndieGames #SoloRPG #TTRPG
Since two of us had tiny humans, my gaming group's meetups plummeted. (It's sort of difficult to play TTGs with two two year olds in the space.) I miss playing. So, as an ask: Can you name, link, and sell me on your favorite solo #TTRPG? I need to do something over the winter. Thanks in advance!
