The library at Riverview Peak has been cleared out! 👀
A fundraising event is coming up, and the library is hosting. Any ideas what could be taking place here?
(I would give anything to go back in time and have a book fair here, btw.)

Happy belated new year!
This is an update by GB rather than Claire. I’m gonna let everybody know what’s going on with the project and our new plans for releasing Our Life: Now & Forever. I’ll start with what people most want to know: the changed release schedule for the initial launch of OLNF.
We will be releasing all of Step 1 & Step 2 November 2026 in Early Access. Step 3 and Step 4 are delayed until 2027.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4eozsfe6esub43qjn4khvnl/bafkreibyzq3xq5y2r7f7hjcsby7ivhlttqiqa4typ3rmzsidkxtzxjzs6y@jpeg)

You are on trial for a crime you may or may not have committed (another tea for another time). The GB character in your birthday month slot is your defense attorney!
So, what say you? Are you walking out of court free?
