26 years ago today, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Janeway and Paris turn into lizards and have lizard babies and then never speak of it again, first aired. Best wishes to all who celebrate.

More commoner wizards in fantasy stories and TTRPGs, please. (food mention) 

Wizard innkeep who wrote a few useful rituals into the pages of their cookbook.

Wizarding tenant farmers, passing magic down through oral tradition.

Wizard tinker, mending everything from pots to plows with a mixture of magic and metalworking.

You don't need noble academies in this world to study and learn - you don't need them in a fantasy world either.

Forthcoming book, a trove of notes from Douglas Adams and his many projects 

Unbound has a (funded) project that might be of interest to a few folk..

"42

By Douglas Adams, edited by Kevin Jon Davies

The wildly improbable ideas of Douglas Adams"

"A book for all fans of Douglas Adams offering a unique insight into his life and work.

After his death in 2001, Douglas Adams's papers were loaned to his old Cambridge college, St John's – over 60 boxes full of notebooks, research, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches, to-do lists, hard drives and even poems.

The book will reproduce in facsimile form extracts from the archive with explanatory text and footnotes to add context. Developed in close association with Adams’s family and literary estate, 42 will be a full-colour, large-format hardback that follows his career from early collaborations with Graham Chapman to his work on Doctor Who, through the Hitchhiker years, Dirk Gently, his groundbreaking non-fiction book Last Chance to See and his later digital work. Alongside this are details of projects that never came to fruition like a proposed theme park ride and a TV series provisionally entitled The Secret Empire."

Past Me made some Decisions and now I have to install effin' GIMP to open some .xcf files. Fuck you, Past Me.

Dream fragment: The word "PROOT" is a valid and correct answer to all logic puzzles. Including Wordle. And all riddles.

I think my brain just came up with a new metasyntactic variable and did the Finagle's Finagling Factor thing with it.

Looking for linux distro recommendations 

Anyone know of good Linux distros that are beginner-friendly, but aim to expose the user to and teach them about what makes Linux different from Windows, rather than paper over it in an attempt to be "familiar"? I could have sworn there was one with a built-in command line tutorial or something that I heard about a while back, but I forget what it was called.

This wouldn't be for me. It would be for someone who could easily contact me with questions if they need help.

Seattle Folks Who Need Medical Help - Mobile Medical Locations

There's a lot of text here and I'm at work currently so apologies for not transcribing both images.

cw that monster, bad wakeups 

I woke up suddenly realizing that for probably five or six years running, before I found out, I was sending a Christmas present off to That Monster and then never receiving anything back except statements of "oh, I got something for you but shipping is delayed, I'll send it off when it gets here."
But I'd forget about it by like mid-January, and then he'd just repeat it again the next year.

So at least the rest of the day can only get better, after that little cry.
