Here is a wonderful one about a song you featured in AUMP #5 (no, I will not type all those zeroes).

This is civil disobedience‼️ We've asked 'nicely' for decades. Disobeying institutions that abuse power to deliberately harm those less powerful is a vital tenant of a healthy democracy. There is still time to join is at #RisingTide 👇🏽

I have been thinking lately of a bucket list Grand Tour of places I have lived in and loved.
I couldn't go to San Angelo, TX (92 & 94-96) because I'd get bounced at the US border by ICE, and I couldn't go to Hongkong (91-92) because I'd get bounced at their border by 公安。

I tried it that night and for the first time in months I fell asleep within 15 minutes, didn't wake up in the middle of the night, and woke up refreshed. No meds, just the wrapped ice pack for five minutes.
I tried it the next night, same results. Two for two.

Three evenings ago I read an article about using ice packs on the forehead to help beat insomnia. The original study was from 2011 IIRC. Apparently if you drop the temperature of your frontal lobe by a degree or so you trigger a cascade of sleepy time metabolic events.

If someone is in the history discipline and looking at how history is portrayed in computer games - and they're not at all in the SFF world - what journals do you think they should think about, that they might not otherwise come across?
