A good article if you’re interested in learning about leaving the leaves. It’s possible to compromise and still have a fairly tidy yard while helping nature, you can simply move the leaves to designated areas and wait til late spring to trim dead plants!

With this year's re-issue of Katharine Briggs's Dictionary of Fairies, Matthias Egeler's book on Elves and Fairies and my new history of Fairies coming in spring, it feels as though we are living through a moment of reawakening for fairy studies

Earlier this month, children planted native trees and shrubs along a newly opened fish passage at the Okanagan Lake Dam. The vegetation will help keep the water cool for migrating salmon as they bypass the dam. First published by our friends at @indiginews.bsky.social: thenarwhal.ca/syilx-childr...

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror.
Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after.
Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.)
I’m researching 🤓

It's been really cool to see all the #CBR+PNK games and purchases at #PaxUnplugged. Even though I wasn't there, it's a great feeling to know my edits contributed to such a good TTRPG.

Woah!
Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.
If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.
The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI
