@theonetar I got the shipping notification for Waldmeister but it just says ā€œHas shipped viaā€¦ā€ Is this a case where a shipping label was created but hasn’t left yet or it just doesn’t have tracking. Just want to know what to expect logistically for making sure we don’t leave something out in the rain.
We don’t usually do Black Friday stuff because we basically don’t give gifts. But I had store credit at two local FLGS. Both were having sales today and each had a game we wanted to get for the kid. I felt like a ninja sneaking purchases just out of view while she played games or read books with mom. We also picked up Castles of Tuscany for us because we could.
Well I only lightly burned myself three times in the process but it was worth it. Time for a nap.
I wish the whole Orbis Cascade Alliance would take a stand like this. I really think my colleagues at PCC would be in solidarity on this. I applaud PSU, OSU, and UO for standing up against Elsevier's extortionist pricing.

This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is *actually* critical to the survival of our economy & society.

Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.

Workers > Billionaires

I started doing #pottery classes a couple months ago. After a 3 week hiatus between sessions I got back the final piece from the last one. I’m so very happy with how it turned out. It’s not perfect, but it’s the thing I’m most proud of.
The new PokƩmon game has come out on the far edge of the world. Which means information is coming out. Which means the rest of my work day will be significantly less productive as I think about nothing else. My day off tomorrow can't come soon enough.

I don't know who needs to hear this but

The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders

The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders

The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders

The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders

Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services

Capitalism is a disease

I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
