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.

Song of the Week

Loreena McKennitt, “All Souls Night”

Happy Monday! Here we are in the new year. Please enjoy this song, about beautiful festivals and the passing of the old and the welcoming of the new.

I will be on Twitch tonight making terrible commentary as my husband and streaming partner plays Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. You can find our channel here. If you stop by and chat, you may see some cats as well. We’ll also be streaming on Saturday, but I haven’t decided what game yet. We might do more Darkest Dungeon.

There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door here later this week! I’m trying for Wednesday, but we’ll see how my time management goes.
