New icon by the amazing @AngryArtist113@twitter.com , me as an #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons villager! Super happy with this commission, Jess is always a pleasure to work with!

Okay, just filled him in on COBOL trending right now and interest from folks, and his response was "Want to be my agent?".

So uh, anyone want to learn about COBOL from my grandpa via Zoom call? Send me a DM or reply here and we'll work something out.

Also I am so damn lucky to have him for a lot of reasons, including that I have a grandpa that taught me how to use computers, instead of the other way around haha. He's way more adept at Zoom than I am, too.

Seriously though, if anyone would like me to hook them up with a Zoom call with an awesome elder programmer in the upper Midwest, I'm sure he'd love to talk with you about COBOL. He's got a lot of free time right now!

So my grandpa is a legit old school COBOL programmer who created some of the first inventory-management software for warehouses, and we were just joking together earlier this week that he should come out of retirement to teach COBOL to us youths. 🤔

RT @BrianRoemmele@twitter.com

Folks laughed when I said there is more 200 times of COBOL transactions each day then Google searches.

COBOL is operating for a number of practical reasons in the US.

Universities stopped training because it was not—glamorous.

Now NJ needs 100s of programmers—TODAY. https://twitter.com/manicode/status/1246497036389793792

And my favorite game zine I've written: Spin the Bottle to the Death. It's a larp zine about kissing and killing your own clones.

#quaranzinefest

If weird uh, poems? art? RPGs? are more your scene, check out my lyric game THIS GAME IS A THREAT. It's a zine that threatens you.

#quaranzinefest

A popular informational one is this 11-page zine for event organizers about how best to use pronoun buttons/stickers at events. So many folks have messaged me saying this has helped with meetings and conferences and other stuff! #quaranzinefest

Another great one is a zine of short poems about my relationship with my extended family, combined with found family photos of reunions and events from the mid/late 00s in rural Wisconsin. #quaranzinefest

https://sublimemarch.itch.io/found-family-photos

One of my most popular zines is a perzine about my experience as a trans person with picking out my new name: https://sublimemarch.itch.io/i-had-a-name-once

#Quaranzinefest

Note that all of my stuff has free community copies available, and every purchases adds another free copy for folks to claim!

A good spot to start with with my mini "let's make a zine" zine: https://sublimemarch.itch.io/lets-make-a-zine
