Song of the Week

Talking Heads, “Take Me to the River” (Al Green cover)

I don’t think I’ve posted this version yet!

So, What the Hex Summer Witches’ Market was a delight, but something terrible has happened:

A miniature legal pad, wrinkled with water damage. The words "newsletter signup" are barely legible in pink, with blurred bands of pink and blue ink beneath them.

My newsletter signup sheet got wet on the way home and is completely illegible. If you signed up and happen to see this, you can put your email into the box at this link and it will send you a confirmation! I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.

I’ll be finishing up the Great Reread of The Book of the New Moon Door this week, and there will be a new chapter on Patreon tomorrow. There will also be a new chapter of Journey to the Water here on Wednesday.

Thanks for being here! Have an excellent week, and stop by again soon.

Song of the Week

Al Green, “Take Me to the River”

I was considering posting either Annie Lennox or the Talking Heads’ version, but decided to go with the original.

It’s Monday again.

Here are two things I’m going to be doing this week, and I would like to gently encourage you to do the same:

First, I’m going to be contacting my Senators and Representatives, and encouraging them to take action to investigate the attempted fascist coup on the Capitol and remove the president from office. The links there will help you find your congresspeople and get in touch with them.

Second, I’m going to be practicing self-care and getting plenty of rest. The work of restoring democracy and creating the equal and just future we imagine continues and will go on, and we won’t be able to do that work if we all get ill. We are still in a pandemic.

With that being said, I’m unsure if I will be able to get another chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up this week. If not, I’ll be sure to post one next week and try to resume a regular schedule.

Tea and Sidequests will be streaming tonight and Saturday night, 6-8 pm. Tonight’s game will be Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, and Saturday should be a return to Darkest Dungeon. If you have the time and inclination, we’d love it if you’d stop by.

I hope you are healthy and safe. Have an excellent week.
