The Brooklyn Public Library is giving eCards to teens nationwide to challenge book bans.

Like we needed another reason to love libraries: with book bans ramping up in school systems around the country, the Brooklyn Public Library

Right now, and for a “limited time,” anyone in the United States between the age of 13 and 21 can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library eCard, which gives access to 350,000 eBooks, 200,000 audiobooks, and online databases.

Teens who want to apply for the free eCard can send an email to BooksUnbanned@bklynlibrary.org or a message to @bklynfuture on Instagram.

My immediate reaction to seeing this:  Grab my ever present notebook and copy it down so I don't have to keep flipping tabs.  Open the Coppermind.  Translate.  Grin.

I was at a craft store today (this is always a dangerous thing) and was looking for a thing on the baking supplies aisle and I made a connection:

If you ever want vials of things that look like metal that you can actually for real eat, this is where you should go. There is such a thing a powdered food coloring and it comes in metallics. There are also vials of things that are basically silver and gold food grade confetti.   

I'm not certain what kind of liquid I would suspend them in and you would still have to figure out how to pull off your special effects after drinking them, but there is a way to have vials of "metal" that aren't poison.

Dear Cfsbf, 

It has come to my attention that the current logo used on the Coppermind (our wiki for all things Sanderson) was intended as a stopgap measure when it was added five years ago. We are planning to finally fix this and to do a redesign of the main page of the wiki. If you would be interested in helping/being part of this conversation (you don’t have to know about wikis), please reply to this post or shoot us an ask over at harmonys-coppermind :-) Any interest?

Ok.  Completely new post because the other one keeps reverting to the cut off version.  This is my interpretation of Shallan's Lullaby from Words of Radiance. So far as I am aware the tune doesn't belong to anything else.

 All hearts that are gems do not glitter,      Not all those with blackbane are lost; Slaves that are old do not wither,      Rockbuds by the storm are not crushed. From the crem a fire shall be woken,      From the chasms a new hope shall spring; Renewed shall be Oaths that were broken,      Tanavast again shall be King.

Last night, taisharnumenore, Leinton and I reworked this J.R.R.Tolkien poem for the Stormlight Archive.  taisharnumenore posted it with the Bridge 4 patch, but this is the scene we really wanted to illustrate it with :-) (I also tweaked it slightly so the 4th line doesn't completely break the rhyme scheme..)

F is for Frillbloom.  For more on frillbloom, visit the coppermind!

I sat down to work on the “Sh is for Shalebark” page and got the basic layout and text done. Then I started contemplating which kind of shalebark I wanted to draw.  I’m bad at decisions, so you get this instead... If you want to know more about Shalebark, the Coppermind page is good :-) 

Ok, so after the skyeel came out yesterday, I decided to try a chull today.  I'm not entirely happy with it, but here, have it anyway.
