Our first piece of the year is live—and it's a big one! With the recent release of the classic BBC sci-fi show Blake's 7 on Blu-ray, @scenicrailway.bsky.social looks back at the infamous 1980s clash between fans and creators that became known as the Slash Wars. 🚀 Read or listen to an audio version:
The smart cow problem is the idea that a technically difficult task may only need to be solved once, by one person, for less technically-proficient group members to accomplish the task using an easily-repeatable method. The term is derived from the expression: "It only takes one smart cow to open the latch of the gate, and then all the other cows follow."
line of battle?

Awoke in terrible pain this morning with puncture wounds on my sternum and Le Vesconte insisting upon being addressed as Los Feratu!
last time someone said this to me i recommended formula 1 and they were off to the races (pun intended) … dunno if that’s up your alley! but it’s great! many boys, much drama
You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive.
You do not need a degree to visit an archive.
There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors.
If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you.
It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

terror camp is this week :)
every time i see someone call spirk the oldest slash ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "☝️ actually the holmes/watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is "☝️ actually, gilgamesh/enkidu"
if i ever watch iwtv you will never catch me posting about it not once... from the outside it seems less like a tv show and more like some kind of virulent discourse brainworm

A photo of an old bottle with a label that reads: "Coca Wine: A Pleasant Tonic and Invigorating from Fresh Cocoa Leaves."
Coca wine was a popular alcoholic beverage in the 19th century. Each bottle contained approximately 6 milligrams of cocaine per ounce. One popular brand, Vin Mariani, was enjoyed by Jules Verne, Alexander Dumas, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Thomas Edison claimed it helped him stay awake! #skystorians
