They are reinvoking the death penalty, not just for dangerous criminals, but for undocumented people seeking asylum, or whose papers are tied up in bureaucracy. And, historically, all the legal Americans who get locked up erroneously.

We have to act now!

Hey #Booksky! Are you paying attention? We know this playbook. We've read The Handmaid's Tale, 1984, Fahrenheit451. We've read the Diary of Anne Frank.

Anyone else's congressman voicemail say they are not currently taking calls? Also seems the webform to email Chuck Fleishman is not working. And one of my State Representatives has a full voicemail.

Keep up the effort!

I'm bummed there aren't more tabletop crafters here (yet!)

Draconic desert tavern WIP. Bottles in the style of Dark Matter Workshop with beads and capacitors. I'm super happy with how this is turning out!

Meet Merismodes fasciculata. This odd little basidiomycete was originally described by botanist and mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1832 from New York. This crunchy looking brown mass isn't very impressive when all dried up, but easily rehydrates to become these stunning little cups!
Three images of a very small cupulate fungus growing on a small tree branch. The bottom left image shows a mass of dried up, brown nodules on the branch. The bottom right shows a magnified view of the dried up, brown nodules. The top photo shows the fungus rehydrated and still wet, with each nodule opened into a white cup with textured, scapulate brown edges.
