Used this map last night for the conquered city where the evil vizier’s wizards were perverting one of the Six Runes of Truth and using it to imprison angels. The players liked the map!

Almost done slogging through Lewis Carroll’s final and worst work, the β€œSylvie and Bruno” books. He was working on them for over 10 years?!! This is why you don’t put together every random thought you’ve had for a decade into a super long book with no plot

I'd debate with you, but frankly I think you're a propaganda account. Your timeline has 0 personal info, a ton of performative lib politics to establish you're a Bluesky liberal that people should talk to, and then a bunch of anti Palestinian stuff. Anyway, no progressive should support Israel, bye

Your timeline of performative liberalism followed by advocating ethnically cleansing Palestinians speaks volumes

Human Rights Watch researchers resign after report on Palestinian right of return blocked The organization claims the report, which finds Israel’s denial of the right of return is a crime against humanity, is β€˜paused pending further analysis and research’

Two HRW employees that make up the entirety of the organization's Israel and Palestine program are stepping down after the leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees the right of return a "crime against humanity." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!" I think that's the proper form...

Absolutely. Only the dead can't disappoint one (unless a secret racist poem or something is revealed)

John Tenniel's famous illustration of the Jabberwocky for "Through the Looking Glass". Lewis Carroll knew this one was a hit, and considered using it as the cover; however he also worried it'd be too scary for kids and should be removed entirely. In the end he took the middle ground and kept it in

I agree with this (won't name the author I'm thinking about but given the timing it's pretty obvious) and simultaneously I am so happy I always disliked Harry Potter

I've been digging thru old books, but at some point I need to look at recent (like in the last 30 years, to me πŸ€ͺ) YA/kids' fantasy isekai novels to see which ones are Dreamland like. I know there's literally series out there set in Dreams, and I've got to read them! But there's just so much stuff!

Reading the "Alice in Wonderland" books: it's clear these are written for younger children than most kids' fantasies of the time (like "Water Babies"), and written knowing they'd be heavily illustrated. The text is MUCH lighter than stuff like "Water Babies". This probably helped the book's lifespan

Reread the "Alice in Wonderland" books. One thing about them is, they both have nice endings. Not that they 'resolve' anything, but they go out on an interesting note: nostalgia for childhood in "Alice" 1, and questioning reality in "Through the Looking Glass" (Alice 2)

One player (Alice), the others are GMs/Wonderlanders inflicting one thing after another on her. πŸ˜‰ Or a one-on-one game, of course.
