Episode 284 of Eating the Fantastic is now LIVE with guests @bohemiancoast.bsky.social and @johncoxon.bsky.social. Discover how the coming of COVID-19 kickstarted the creation of Octothorpe, how to comment responsibly on fandom while being part of fandom & more. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
Join us as we read the Clarke Award shortlist! Alison and Liz judge John’s own judging, and then they ask him questions about his judging and judge his answers. We hope you judge that this is a good episode. The word “judge” looks weird now.

@eerko.bsky.social In the BGG app, would it be possible to make it so that typing in the forums through the app uses typographer’s quotes (smart quotes) rather than simple quotes? I would love this to be a feature.
@andy.baio.net If someone raises the alarm that something is about to go away – e.g., bsky.app/profile/fina... – is there a way to raise the alarm with some sort of archival squad?
