Touch Grass, Goblins: A content Diagnosis

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about content.

On the goblin cosmological maps, content sits in the region labeled 'too small to matter at this scale, too persistent to ignore.' The goblin cosmologists have not redrawn this region in some time.

A Goblin Aside Concerning catalog

catalog pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.
