“so much of the writing submitted (and selected) peeks through the cracks of doors, pushes boundaries, asks the reader to step out of the known and comfortable… these are haunted pages. There are many, many ghosts.”

N628TS (Elon’s main jet the Gulfstream G650) appears to be in maintenance. This is the reason for lack of updates. It appears he is currently using SpaceX’s other jet N272BG.
Final stages before submitting a manuscript and getting angry with the journal's citation style that's APA7-but-not-quite-in-a-number-of-small-petty-ways. Checked the #Zotero stylesheet repository and found that a kind soul has already uploaded a stylesheet for that journal! 🙏 Unfortunately, it was created when the journal had their specially petty version of APA6 so I need to edit it. Okay, fine. And that's how I found that "the kind soul" happens to have exactly the same name as me! 😅 🙈
#ttrpg#worldbuiding tip: If you want to get some inspiration, get "The Dictionary of Imaginary Places" - a guidebook to fantastic locations from world literature. You'll be sure to find something interesting to put into your own settings!

#Ephemera: When unfolded, this album commemorating the First #Zionist Congress (August 29-31, 1897), depicts the delegates.
Here, 162 of them. Figures vary, but 200-250 persons took part, including 17 #women—though they became voting members only in 1898
Interesting that this evidently American document featured portraits of not only the movement’s leaders—but also #Washington and Columbus. Trying to suggest an equivalence of nation-building—or just patriotic filler?
As far as I know, most #sociology journals don’t have a fediverse presence, but do have RSS article feeds. Would accounts that mirror those feeds be something folks would follow or is RSS/email already filling the need?
Also, I understand there is a #LawFedi account that follows a very large set of folks in the #law community and re-posts popular/trending material. (If you know what it is - I’d appreciate a pointer). Looking at that account might be a good way to catch up. Would that be interesting for social science?
I'm building a small list of resources for neurodivergent students for my big 1st year undergrad course. What would you recommend that a first year undergrad, who lives with OCD, ASD, ADHD and/or anything else, should read, watch or join.
