Donate to Help Harper rebuild her life, organized by Mikki VanEps Hello, I am posting my friend Harper's request, here are her words: My name is Harp… Mikki VanEps needs your support for Help Harper rebuild her life

Hello! I am at 54% of my goal. While my move is over I'm still dealing with the finical strain it took on me. I have a job training program coming up and no appropriate clothing or footwear for it. I'm really proud of myself for getting into this program and I'm grateful so many people believe in me

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

In 1993, Octavia E. Butler wrote a defense of public libraries.

β€œPublic libraries in particular are the open universities of America. They're free; they're accessible to everyone… I'm a writer at least partly because I had access to public libraries.β€œ

A two panel comic. In the first, a blinded sci-fi character holds a battery while laying on the ground. They say "You know that new sound you've been looking for?" It then has an comic bubble depicting them pressing a button on a jury rigged bomb and saying "...well listen to this!" In the final panel, the outside view of the Hecate Broadcast Station and an explosion.

One of the players in my run of Radio Free Hekate this weekend at PDX OSR CON 2 made this incredible art of their character's last moments. Blinded and with 1HP remaining, Tibbets sabotages a battery to blow up his attackers in the radio station.
