I teach history & government, do a bit of baking, I play RPGs (“A5e” and TORG) and paint minis. I do other things, I may or may not talk about them here.

DO YOU WANT EXTREMISTS IN THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE WRITING LAWS forcing you to live by their religious beliefs? If not, know who you're voting for.

Vote for the person, not a letter. You can't assume what that letter stands for in Idaho anymore. #idpol #idleg

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.

This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Shameless plug for my friend’s book - it’s good, go read it!
Time to draw 2024 to a close with a bit of shameless self-promotion! Iron and Smoke is my first book and only (to date) novel, a weird Western with bits of SF and Lovecraft thrown in. It's on Amazon, B&N, and probably a pirate site or six, but here's the Bookshop link: bookshop.org/p/books/iron...
