Attention conservation notice: Petty details of a desultory instance of a moribund medium.
Because there are half-a-dozen actual research projects I should be working on, to say nothing of a grant report to write and fall classes to design, I decided to procrastinate, i.e., to go to my drafts folder and dust off some old pieces of book-chat:
While I was at it, I switched the buy-this-book links from Powell's to Bookshop.org. Powell's is still my favorite (surviving) bookstore in the world, but it no longer has an affiliate program, and a lot of the old links were just 404'd. Links for books with a 13-digit ISBN should be OK now, but I am sure there are still some links which don't resolve; since they didn't work before, either, you have nothing to complain about.
Tomorrow I may feel up to rolling 1d6 to decide what to edit.
Update, 10 July: My urge to procrastinate was strong.
