There's always that calculation of if it's worth it to speak up and risk consequences, and if there's actually any chance things will get better. Focusing on making the game better for others is a great suggestion. I engaged some kids as herald and attendants at the event and that made my day 💜

I know this is something you're passionate about and have called me on before. Please don't assume I'm not addressing the issues with the people involved. I don't think it's wrong to share that sometimes things are hard and group dynamics can be challenging.

Thanks for coming! It was lovely to see you and such a fun event.

🙏 you're too kind

Haha I'm probably one of those people. I added a couple SCA starter packs when I made my account. Hi from Artemisia!

I knew it!

I will! What a small world the SCA is.

🥰 absolutely. We got handed some unfinished tasks when we step up, and I'm sure our successors will too 😁

Yes! I know I've heard about intentionally planted and tended food forests in the northwest of North America, some still extant. I'm glad to see this being brought to light, but it's not new, and it does seem super euro-centric to pretend it is.
