Five golden rings! (but another ring was made...)

It is vegans vs vegetarians debate. It is so much easier to argue with those who are similar: false dichotomy like EV or public transit is easier than trying to argue with climate deniers or petroleum lovers.

I loved that book as well. Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking and Swordheart have the same fun and cozy tone. Swordheart is about the samel evel of spicy. Guide is more YA. I have not tried T Kingfisher's horror yet. I like Gothic horror but not psychological horror, so we'll see.

The great thing about chiral memes is that they appeal to the Right and the Left

Uh oh. This could go poorly.

I... don't wanna die...

You can thank evolution for taking a fish ancestor's neck muscle and its nerve and moving them down to your belly as your diaphragm to power your lungs. No nerve should be that long. It is prone to shorting out. Evolution is wonderous, except when it is not.

I agree that agency is key. I also find agency is almost as hard to define at edge cases like insect colonies or cities.

One species using the feces of another species to meet its own caloric needs?! Weird. Humans would never do that. 🙃

"I was a drab little crab once..."

South central Michigan. Our first snow of the season.

I looked at the radar. Impressive pull of precipitation along the entire curve of your long axis, with a bit of help from Lakes Huron and Superior.
