I am a #unicorn! you may believe that, or not.
my sense of self isn't dependent upon outsiders' scorn; in any case, I'm quite content to be regarded as a mere figment of a crazy person's imagination. that's little impediment to my life and purpose in the Pnictogen Wing.

I daresay that I'm unusually *practical* for a unicorn. my interests are mundane ones; I like science and engineering and working in shops and keeping things running as smoothly as possible, and while I'm no atheist or positivist, I leave magic and religion to others.

all the same—it's a painful thing, being a unicorn in a world that has attempted to *wipe out* creativity and mysticism and magic—a world that embraces cruelty and casual sneers at suffering and death. I may have been ethereal once; I am not, now.

Doing a deep dive into #EducationalGames, trying to figure out how to incorporate learning into entertainment games, not the other way around, which is usually the case with #SeriousGames. A thread of screams from the deep end. 🧵
Let's start from the end: what do we want to achieve? Often, we want to teach notions, which is not the easiest but can be done with some thought. A recent good example is Pentiment, an engaging mystery RPG deeply grounded in medieval history. Or maybe… pentiment.obsidian.net
… we want to teach skills, trickier but doable — here's a list of examples web.archive.org/web/2023011810…

Have you wondered why agtech/ agritech hasn't produced a #unicorn yet? Why has an agtech venture's valuation not crossed a billion dollars?
It's possibly because the global market for software in farming will cross $5 billion in 2026 — farming discovered software recently. [1/5]

My story today is on a pioneering software company from Bengaluru, @CropInTech (Estd 2010) which built its management muscle in the past year on the back of two intuitive strategic calls by Co-founder & CEO Krishna Kumar in mid-2018. [2/5]
Almost two years before the pandemic happened, Krishna put Cropin's focus on a new product called SmartFarm. And then, decided Cropin will not focus on small customers, instead channeling its energies on large enterprises among agri-input producers, seed companies, etc. [3/5]

#Pharmeasy - Health Tech #unicorn – to acquire Majority stake (66%) in #Thyrocare. Open offer for an additional 26% stake at Rs1300/sh. With this diagnostics bet, it completes its exhaustive portfolio of "Wholistic Outpatient Healthcare Ecosystem". (1/9)
Gujju Gang from Ghatkopar (as founders call themselves) make it big in what is first-ever acquisition of publicly listed firm by the unicorn. New funding tied up at #valuations of USD4bn. Promoters of Thyrocare will also be investing in Pharmeasy for 5% stake. (2/9)
Pharmeasy founders started as venture called dialhealth.com (2012-13) which failed, followed by Dial Health chain of retail stores which also failed. After 2 failed ventures, they moved to distribution business (& B2B) that was a success (2015). (3/9)
1/365 - Starting this thread with one of the first Motorcycles to be built in India. The @royalenfield #Bullet350. A Motorcycle which was initially built for the Indian Army but with time found patronage amongst varying genre of people achieving a cult status over the decades.
2/365 - After selling imported Vespas for a while, Bajaj Auto started manufacturing the #Bajaj150 under license in 1959. This was one of the first Scooters in India and certainly changed the 2-Wheeler scene as it was initially available at a significant premium in the market.
3/365 Automobile Products of India (API) was the 1st Scooter maker in India and manufactured the #Lambretta Li 150 Series 2 under license from Innocenti at Bombay in the 1960's. This scooter was very popular and made appearances in a few famous Bollywood movies too. #BikerLife

#Zuniceratops (11. 5 feet long, 250-400 pounds) #VS #Unicorn (700-1000 pounds)
#Debate #Thread #Battle #Dinosaurs #Fantasy
#Debate #Thread #Battle #Dinosaurs #Fantasy
Unicorns would have a serious size advantage, with a horn longer than both of Zuniceratops' combined. Dinosaurs pound for pound would be generally stronger than modern mammals, but this wouldn't be enough to make up for the unicorn's greater girth. One might mistakenly think
the unicorn's horn would potentially snap on a Zuniceratop's frill if these two locked horns. However, unlike the frill of a Triceratops, Zuniceratops frills has holes in them, where skin would only be found while the animals were still alive.
Good morning, bbs. After thoughtfully reading your suggestions, I’ve officially decided to name this unicorn bottle hugger toy Mx. Taffeta Champagne Sparkles—Taffy if ya nasty. Mx. Sparkles uses she/her or they/them pronouns & enjoys clinging to things to bring joy to the world.
Keep an eye out for my “adventures” with Taffy this academic year as I go up for tenure & write my second book while on fellowship leave. I anticipate having many days where Mx. Sparkles is the only being I interact with all day. 🙃 #unicorn #AmWriting #ThingsIDoToAmuseMyself
You can follow Taffy on @instagram now: taffetachampagnesparkles. You’re welcome.
Last weekend my partner found this #unicorn “wine bottle hugger” on clearance for $7. This lil buddy now hugs whatever water bottle I’m drinking out of & brings me repeated giggles whenever I look at it. Truly, one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. 😂🦄😂
How does it work you may wonder? Oh, the arms/legs are SNAP BRACELETS. So you can also make it look like this:
Now taking suggestions for naming this unicorn, who is now my fellowship year, work-from-home, accountability partner.
I think I bought a good 65% of all unicorn items available at every store within 5 miles of my house for my party on Saturday. I only stopped because, well, money. But look at this little buddy I got for the pool!
And these unicorn glow stick wands!
Annnnd these unicorn plates...
So after the @UKGamesExpo The Game Shop: Aldershot took a few of our pre-release kits off our hands and we said goodbye to our Iconic Pink bag as it went off to find new adventures. Clearly we need a new demo piece so I thought I’d do a Tweet along...

The D20 I’m going to build today is one of our ‘Unicorn Blood’ kits. This colour is still currently locked on the #Kickstarter but when we get to 1500% or £15k this high spectrum glitter effect will be available in the pledge manager at the end.

So to start off I’ve laid out my pieces in the same pattern as the diagram in the kit, if you have a kit with numbers having a D20 to hand can help you put everything in the right places. Then I’ve got one eyelet piece and one other and tied a standard knot.
