Are you a person who was around in, or knows a lot about, 1970s/1980s fandoms? I'm working on a project about spoilers and want to learn more about early uses of the term in its modern sense. I'm reading Usenet archives; do you have memories of earlier emergent uses? Please share! Non-fandom memories and leads also welcome, of course.

Dashing through the snow, on a day-old loper run,
Airfield here we go! Don't care that we've no gun.
Found a matchbox spawn, and tinder too we got,
What fun it is to light a fire when we find a sheltered spot!

Oh!

Jiggle teas, jiggle teas! Jiggle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to have our teas not burn today! Hey!
Jiggle teas, jiggle teas! Jiggle them with care!
We need the warm, to stave off harm, on our hike through the Great Bear!

Hello to all you new followers. Sorry I haven't posted much here yet. Still finding my way. And I also have a bit of a social media headache from the bird site & general player interactions since we launched our Expansion for TLD. Looking forward to a bit of a break, and then regrouping around social media in the new year, once I figure out what "regrouping" looks like.
@MeanwhileinCanada Immediately thought about @raphlife and #TheLongDark when I saw this.
Stunningly beautiful. Thank you.

@raphlife Yeah, it's a sad end of an era, I've been on Twitter since 2008. But it was an easy decision from a moral standpoint - not actively participating on a platform that is now on a firm path to causing more harm than good in the world. Also it was easy because personally, I can still use it for work in read-only mode.

Anyway, I've been really enjoying dipping back into TLD after a lengthy gaming hiatus. Looking forward to everything the expansion pass will bring! (Especially recipes, ngl.)
