I'm a guy in the American Midwest. Husband, father, librarian. Maker of things, player of games, master of dungeons, holder of degrees, writer of words, a bunch of other stuff and nonsense.
New Save Collective is a Discord community for gamers who want to show up for each other.
Friday (Jan 30) is a national shutdown day (no work, no school, no shopping) calling to stop funding ICE. We’re meeting the moment our way: game + take action together. This Friday (Jan 30), we’re hosting game + action lobbies all day so people can take a few small actions together and feel less alone. (Drop in for 20 min or stay for hours.)

Just BobAfter 13+ years on the streets and yet, I still don't understand why American people are so concerned with every country EXCEPT or own.... #Illegal2BHomeless in #AmeriKKKa
postmarketOS (old account)@osuosl has been around for 22 years. They kindly host our gitlab for 6 months now, and provide important services for more than 150 other free and open source software communities such as @alpinelinux, @chimera , @debian, @fdroidorg, @gentoo, @gnome, @LineageOS, #ReplicantOS, @torproject. Now their future is in jeopardy 😢
We usually don't ask this, but please boost for reach, this is important infrastructure for so many FLOSS projects! 
Anyone in #Ohio that enjoys the #PublicLibrary should alert every #OhioHouse member you can the proposed budget change of removing the #PublicLibraryFund ( #PLF ) is unacceptable. It amounts to losses in millions of dollars in #library #funding for all of our #Libraries. First the #Republicans killed #IMLS and now they're trying to cut budgets at the state level. My local library, #TLCPL, has posted more information. If you're an #Ohioan, now is the time to act.
Just backed a project that I'm pretty intrigued by.
An #opensource version of #dungeonsAndDragons called #Free5e. I think it will prove a great resource to #libraries and #creators. For $15 you'll get access to the .pdf versions of the books, as well as early access to the #discord. Plus, NO generative #AI art or text content. Take that #WotC.

I'm a Maker Librarian. Your 3D printer purchase depends on budget and such, but we got Prusa MK4S machines and they're fantastic. We selected them because, even though they're comparatively expensive, Prusa has an extraordinary track record for long term support. If you are interested in having a machine for a decade, Prusa seems like the best bet. Otherwise, a lot of colleagues have had success with Bambu machines. They're cheaper, but not as easy to repair or upgrade, afaik.
