Introduction
Some nice new faces in geminispace in the gems and a community submitted Stinky Pinky puzzle! Some busy physical world stuff has prevented me from getting anything substantial written for Emanations but I hope to have an article by myself or ideally a community submission for next issue.
Hidden (and not so hidden) Gems
An Absurd Way of Computing
Linux, Pinephones, Thinkpads, retro tech and more. This capsule has all the things that attract us computer nerds.

AJUL
Julia's capsule and gemlog are of a personal nature that is fitting of the charming nature of gemini as a whole. An excellent addition to your gemlog subscriptions.

Squids World
This fledgling capsule is just getting started but promises plenty of interesting topics to come. For now there is some excellent ASCII art to tide you over while the capsule grows.

Sashanoraa's Gemini Site
Sashanoraa likes to talk about software, tech ethics, gender, anti-capitalism among other things. Their capsule mainly houses links to software projects they've made.

Stinky Pinky
by kelbot (puzzle words for this issue submitted by thefringthing)
To play Stinky Pinky you will need to read the two descriptions below. They each describe a word and the two words rhyme. Example: 1. Smelly, 2. Finger; Answer: Stinky Pinky. Get it? You can email your answer to the address found at the bottom of each smolZINE to confirm if you are correct. The first to answer wins...uhhh I haven't figured that out yet so my congrats will have to do for now.
- A Stringed Instrument
- A Freshwater Fish
