In D&D tonight, we all got dragonmarks and are apparently bonding dragons to become the Secret Bosses of the World. This is important for Reasons. But it turns out that dragons are from another world! Big philosophical problem for my anti-outsider Warlock.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Everyone shut up, it's time to watch X-Men Season 2! ... or I would, but my watch buddy is having to jump through so many goddamn hoops to get a D+ account. Shouldn't this part of the process be frictionless?

I guess there's some discourse around teaching the Bible in schools? It's true that the Bible is the most important, most-cited work in the English canon. I studied it in AP English and, based on what I learned from that, in a Bible as Literature class in college. I learned a lot.

Thinking about editing, and how my job is, basically, to have opinions at people. Opinions that they actually listen to! My lovely wife, an actual factual doctor, pointed out: "That's what I do." I tried to insist it was different. She just smiled at me.

We'll soon be starting a new set of Precipice stories, these set in Michael Gernes' medieval-inspired world of Harness. For this week, you can take a chance to catch up on the first set of stories from Arbelos and @pikorito.bsky.social's Swarmworld Arcturus. www.wildplumgames.com/fiction/fict...

Fiction Catch-Up: Arbelos and Swarmworld Arcturus — Wild Plum Games

If you haven’t yet had a chance to read these stories, now is a great time to get started! So, what has been going on in these two very different worlds?
