Time to hit play (or buy!) on this bad boy. Seasonal bangers from @virginofthebirds.bsky.social @kittendonut.bsky.social @rdeeble.bsky.social and many more.
My eternal gratitude to @andrewmale.bsky.social for guiding me towards the ‘eternal verities’ of Lodge 49. I realised writing this that I miss these characters. I’m sad we’ll never get to know how it ends, but there’s even something appropriate about that.
