Do any fedi friends have access to a theological library?

I'm trying to find someone to help me get a photocopy of a page or two from this book:

openlibrary.org/works/OL271987

It allegedly contains a photo of a cuneiform tablet which records history's oldest joke.

As a clown, I need a copy. :)

I'm also interested in having a copy of the book, though it seems to be looooooong out of print.

Any help, including boosts, appreciated!

I've been working on this for three months and it's finally done. 78 pages on the history of leather, sluts, and families at US Prides, from 1965 to 1995. Includes background on Pride as a polyvocal celebration and leather as a queer subculture; multifarious sexual and gender expression at Pride; the Lesbian Sex Wars; reaction from the right; and the interplay of radical and normalizing forces within LGBTQ activism.

US Drone Strike, Kabul, Death 

Remember that drone strike in Kabul shortly after the terrorist attack at the airport, that supposedly killed a suicide bomber? Well it wasn't a suicide bomber, instead they killed 10 innocent people, including children. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada

@starless

You also have the rare opportunity to legally name something Boaty McBoatSpace.

The Evergiven is still wedged in my heart.

Seconding the 'vessel, rusty, and easy to say'.

cyberia.club recently acquired physical space. it must be named something cool.

cyberia space name recommendations?

I’m looking for something:

- vessel-y
- rusty
- original
- easy to say
- maybe russian or a spaceship, or a submarine
- preferably something organic, communal, or something

we have considered many names, but none quite fit right.

Feeling some kinda way about people saying "fuck Texas" in response to recent events... like you realize the victims of all this bullshit our state government does live here too, right?

did the sustainable thing of putting my own thermos in the coffee machine (which usually just works). Instead it dropped not one, but two paper cups on top and filled that....

Update: the setting author gave our GM a shout out and he's very excited about this whole thing. Cigeus is a great GM.

Could you let me know if you'd like transcription of the quoted tweet? It's basically the GM describing in a little more detail our last session.
