The Ware for June 2026 is shown below:

This board is from my personal collection of “favorite boards” that I’ve collected over the years. A lot of old memories associated this one – both figuratively and literally.

I’ve received some feedback that gmail in particular is marking my email updates as spam. Not sure I have a good way to fix this yet, as the blog is also under heavy attack from automated AI spammers at the same time (to the tune of several thousand requests a day).

You’ll notice that the blog has no ads, so I also have no budget for moderation, paid mailers, or fancy anti-spam tools. I’ll noodle on a durable solution to this problem in my copious spare time, but for now, if you’re not receiving the email updates, please try to convince Google this is not spam by marking it as ham in your inbox. Yes, have also received feedback that this is ineffective and that “the way” is to pay a service that specializes in sending spam *ahem* marketing emails, but see my previous comment about this being a lean, ad-free blog. But, maybe if enough readers mark the emails as not spam, “The Algorithm” might be convinced people actually wanted the updates they signed up for?
