#Haverford

[theivorybilledwoodpecker]

If you live in PA, I want to ask you to call your reps and call for a ceasefire. When you do so, mention that one of the Palestinian college students shot in Vermont, Kinnan Abdalhamid, went to Haverford College in Pennsylvania.

Most of our reps have supported the genocide of Palestinians. In doing so, they have helped murder thousands of people. They have also encouraged Islamophobia.

Point out that it has had a direct effect on at least one of the people they vowed to represent. (Yes, I know it has also harmed more, but this is a specific, documented incident we can call out.)

The more people who call them out on this, the more likely they are to make a public statement addressing the attacks.

We need to make them squirm.

Philcon 2024!

Do you love Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror? Are you a Writer, a Gamer, a Costumer, or a Filker? Are you looking for a weekend of distraction in your life? If you’re in the vicinity of Philadelphia- or more specifically, Cherry Hill, New Jersey- there’s an event coming up on November 22 – 24, 2024 that we’d love for you to come check out. If you aren’t already familiar with PHILCON, here’s what you should know: * We started out as a literary-centric SF convention in 1936, but have grown to embrace all mediums of storytelling (movies, television, comics, podcasts, etc) as well as expanding to cover the Fantasy and Horror genres. Most of our participants are authors, and there will be Readings by them and Autograph sessions all throughout the weekend, in addition to their participation on discussion panels. * While many of our Literary panels are about SF, Fantasy, or Horror topics in general, we also have an emphasis on panels discussing the craft side and business sides of writing, for those looking to develop as authors. * One of our content tracks for the weekend is dedicated to Science & Technology itself, not just how it is used in fiction. * We will be screening several movies over the weekend, and Anime will also be shown in our Anime & Animation room at certain times. * There will be Workshops and Demos for Costuming (including "Fabric Manipulation", "How to Make Foam Armor", "Make-up for The Stage", and "A Pox on Patterns!") and Art (including "Using Alcohol Inks", "Block Printing With Your Own Designs", "How to Make A Controlled Color Palette", and "Making Wire-Wrapped Jewelry"), and if you’ve got an outfit you made that you’d like to show off on stage, we’ve got a yearly Costume Contest. * If you are a Filker- or just enjoy listening to other people sing and play music- Philcon has a room dedicated Filk room, and this year’s Musical Guest of Honor is Cecilia Eng. As Cecilia is not often on the east coast, if you’d like to see her play in person, now is an excellent change to do so without flying to the other side of the country. Lynn Gold, another west-coast Filker, will also be joining us this year. There are also Concerts scheduled for Sirens & Liars, Half a Slime Devil, Brenda and Chuck Shaffer-Shiring, and Sara Henya. * Since the Gaming track moved from an upstairs suite to the “Gallery” room on the first floor, it’s had the literal room to expand the number of games it can run, and we’ve got a bevy of them on the schedule for 2024, as well as a bank of games for you to choose from during Open Gaming hours. There's also a LARP Workshop Series being run by Spectacle INK. * Our Artist Guests of Honor for 2024 are Gina Matarazzo and Matthew Stewart. Each will be giving a presentation on our Main Stage on Saturday afternoon, as well as having their art displayed in our Art Show. * Our Principal Speaker for 2024 is MAX GLADSTONE, and we also have Nghi Vo as our Special Guest. Both will be doing Readings, Autograph Sessions, panels, and a main stage Q&A session. An interactive version of our schedule can be found HERE. While a simplified, static overview, organized by track, can be found HERE. Our LinkTree can be found HERE. We would especially value your support this year, as Philcon’s Covid-19 policy in previous years (which required both mandatory masking and proof of vaccination in an attempt to avoid becoming a super-spreader event as several other conventions had) has led to a slow but noticeable decline in attendance. While masking in public spaces is still heavily encouraged, neither proof of vaccination nor masking are required to attend the convention in 2024. We’d love your help in making this year a success, so that we’re in a good position to bring you all something really fantastic for our upcoming 90th anniversary. We’d also love to give you a great weekend right now, for reasons I doubt we need to explain. Here’s to surviving the next few years! ~ Lynati Head of Programming, Philcon 2024

Nitre Hall

Built in the early 1800s as part of a powder mill property, Nitre Hall is a still-standing two-story residential home refurbished into a museum for visitors to explore colonial living.

This microscale build was one of three Haverford themed models built in 2018 for a LUG display at a community festival.

The windows of this building have three appearances.

Boarded up or blocked by furniture.

No shutters but visible interior.

Brown shutters and blue quarter curtains. While the first two were easy to build, the blue curtains proved difficult. The parts I used to align them on the inside of the building surpassed the number of visible bricks on the outside of the structure.

My alma mater, Haverford College.

Here is the library:

So the story (which is definitely not true) is that at some point, the state of Pennsylvania required every college to have a church on its campus. Haverford, which is a Quaker college, said "...fine", built a church, and put the books in it.

Like I said, that story isn't true.

But the library is particularly gorgeous and was always one of my favorite buildings on campus.

best college libraries in ur opinion?

I! Don't really know, sorry! I've been to a total of two univeristy libraries. The one at my alma mater was pretty nice I did a lot of homework there but there's not a ton to write home about lol. And the other one I didn't see much of cause we just had a room scheduled to record something in lol

Although I did see this video before about the Lanchester Library at Coventry University and it is hosted by an extremely delightful gentleman

If anyone wants to sound off with good college libraries feel free!

Okay, read it back to me. — Um... "Committees cover our democracy with blood." — Hmm. Sounded better when I said it. It's still good, though.

A man is telling him to stay still, that they need to check him over, and another man is asking him where he’s been, what happened to him, and he fights them hard, clawing and kicking and screaming with everything he’s got: he can wait, don’t they understand? He can wait. Ellie is who matters. Not him. He’s no one. He’s— “Bobby!” Everything stops. He’s dreaming, he must be, only there are no buffeting winds, no pouring rain, no rushing river. Just her, divinely beautiful in the morning sunlight: deep brown skin, hair as black as the midnight sky, eyes as bright as stars. She’s looking at him like she’s lost at sea and he is her lighthouse, and he feels like Odysseus, at last having found his way home. “Athena.” The wind is back, roaring in his ears. “I found you.” His legs give out from under him, and everything goes black.

Listen to me, you're part of the treat yourself team now, okay? If that costume somehow makes you happy, you're gonna buy it. And you're gonna wear it out of the store, okay? You're gonna treat yourself.
