@kdriscoll@aoir.social I think only you will be interested in this find, but I had to share it with someone. I didn't *need* it, but it was $1. I couldn't resist.

Found this at a Free Book Fair held by great local used bookstore Page 42 (www.page42bookstore.com). It was in a box of random media and I grabbed it because, why not?

No cartridge, but...it had the original owner's painstakingly hand-drawn level maps on graph paper, including coffee (?) stains. They even have added coordinates for easy referencing.

It's late in the day to share, but a Happy Holidays wish from me and Santa's daisy wheel printer. (From Sandra Boynton's book Christmastime (1987))

I think I know for sure now that my transformation into a historian is now complete, because I read this (very good and timely, to be clear!) package of stories and still thought, "Would it be too much to ask to historicize this wave of events beyond the mid-2010s? With, y'know, a history book?"

I have, I fear, become my academic parents.

The future of being trans on the internet

The internet has long been a source of information and support for transgender people. Now, trans rights and the internet itself are in a moment of crisis. What happens next?

Good to know they made these for every kind of then-new technology.

My new official conference watch, found at Value Village. It can't compare to @kdriscoll@aoir.social's swatch, but it's very Me.

Replying to @kdriscoll@aoir.social
@kdriscoll @taoish Given how much non-scholarly stuff now gets indexed, it certainly suggests no one is spot checking it.
