Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Unfortunately, on federal lands this year we are missing another prescribed fire window because of the government shutdown. We are frittering away opportunity every time we put up additional roadblocks to the use of prescribed fire.
It's the season for prescribed fire - an important step to reducing fuel loads in our forests.
This article from Ecology & Society focuses on RX burns in Greece and how proactive prevention can get lost as a method to reduce catastrophic wildfires.

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.

Important info for anyone considering purchasing the Rayman GBC re-release or anything associated by Modretro.
In case you need a reminder: do not support modretro.
Its founder, Palmer Luckey (more like Palmer Yuckey), is a trump supporting, Zionist billionaire. Do not line his pockets.
Copies of Rayman for GBC aren't even that expensive so. Yeah.
