I'm not paying attention to US political news for the next while, but: if you or yr kids need to come stay in a civilised country for a while, we can sort a place to stay & food for as long as you need. If you or yr kid are trans, this offer counts double or triple, or really, as much as necessary.

A collected set of Chamber's Edinburgh Journal. Apart from its own entertainingness, it gets referenced when I want to do fluff infills for D&D world newspapers. I've no idea where I got it; I've had it for at least 20 years.

Through The Hedgerow is one of the games that's very seriously on my want-to-play list. Unlike most games there, I might even volunteer to run it. Jonathan Rowe, its creator, has some writing about it, with this quote that interested me a lot. www.fenorc.co.uk/home/a-world...

We visited the Pando Aspen, which came across to me like a big good-natured doggish sort of entity, inclined well toward people, but not terribly interested. There were cougar tracks in some of the snow patches.

Looking up and seeing a landscape reminiscent of the surface of Mars is strange too. And we drove through four different kinds of desert yesterday. Probably more, my ability to distinguish biomes gave up when I realised I could identify maybe a fifth of the plants I could see.
