If you see young people, creatively, desperately finding ways to make their own third spade, maybe you keep an eye on it to make sure they are okay, maybe you don’t tear the branches down and yell “the kids stick fort is Right Here and they are talking about things that matter to them!!!”

If you get the chance, the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA is a good time.
The head of a puppet: a male face made of painted and distressed wood, close shorn dark hair, fully 2/3rds of the face covered with a black mask that covers from above the eyebrows to the crest of the puppet's top lip.

Below the head, mounted on a tasteful wooden table, there's a plaque which says:

THE YOUNG LOVER
Creator: Unknown
Early 1800s Italy
Type: Puppet Head
Materials: Wood, Paint

Gift of Fabio Coen

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

But what that means is that it's useful to think about what we do to habitats in terms not of natural/unnatural, but in terms of levels of permanence of disturbance.

I got hate mail today, so resharing a piece that NEVER fails to make people mad -- how trans and genderqueer people relate to Link and the Legend of Zelda Games. Link is any gender you want him to be. : ))))

Link’s Awakening takes a more literal meaning for many transgender people who love the main character of the Legend of Zelda franchise.

Dreams are dreams, and some of them seem to have their own dreams.
grumbleflap.shannonmcmaster.com
I have questions
There was this dream, and you know dreams are slippery, presenting themselves at reality as real as the waking life. In this one I was at a weekend, invite-only tabletop role playing game party. Not a convention, just some people getting together and playing some games. It was in a conference center with guest rooms, a large room with a table, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator, small stove & oven, microwave, dishwasher.

This is still my preferred casting, but if you want a more traditional Muppet cast... Kermit as Jim, Fozzie as Dennis, Sam as Rocky, and Miss Piggy as Beth. Statler, Waldorf, and Uncle Deadly as various mob bosses as needed. Everyone else as memorable side characters. And, of course... 1/2

Sometimes I find myself in a conversation about "who would you cast in a reboot of The Rockford Files?" (Mostly with myself.) Today's answer is that perennial favorite "who would you cast" ensemble, The Muppets. Rowlf as Jim obvs. Gonzo as Rocky. Rizzo as LJ. Pepe as Angel. Kermit as Dennis. 1/2

Swords Without Master cover, featuring artwork by Elemei. Three rogues face a doorway into a cloud-filled world of mystery; they have traversed a dangerous pathway through ruins, their wake marked by the arrows and swords of defeated foes. The gateway contains architectural elements of eyes and reaching claws. Title logo in purple, arched letters hovers in the clouds above the rogues, awaiting them beyond the threshold. Byline at the bottom "Epidiah Ravachol"

"I had to use AI in my module because I can't afford an artist!" Did you even ask? The sheer amount of creators out there that are looking for people to write lore for their maps, art, characters, items, etc. is staggering. Put out a call & ask for shares. You'd be amazed at the results.

My neurodivergent headcanon for the 60’s Batman series is that Bruce Wayne’s parents hired a troupe of eccentrics on retainer to keep him entertained, in the untimely event of their death.
The villains from the 60’s Batman. Penguin, riddler, cat woman, and the joker. They’re ready to fight.Adam West as Bruce Wayne in the Batman tv series, wearing a grey body suit and blue/black batmask, cape, gloves, and underoos, with a yellow utility belt. There’s a tiny yellow and black bar symbol on his chest. Next to him is Robin, played by Burt Ward, in a cute little number, red with green sleeves and a yellow cape. He’s got a little r on his chest for Robin. They’re running down the middle of the street in the city.

The folks over at Votebeat, a nonprofit newsroom, reported out the goings-on in the Town of Fenwick Island, where hotels and vacation homes held in trusts are people, in functional political terms. Some good interviews with locals - the mayor, but other property owners, too

In Delaware, corporations can vote in local elections. Some people are trying to change that.
A Delaware beach town offers broad voting rights to corporations, spurring broader debate over who should be allowed to take part in elections.
