Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! I managed my time at least a little bit better so I happily managed a near deadline post today pretty comfortably. Plus, I'm sleeping at a healthy time tonight! It's a little bit more of a quiet week all things considered for the news, but I hope everyone's had a great one -- it's the Olympics hype edition of the newsletter and I'm really looking forward to see the community come al...

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! You wanted a newsletter, you'll get a newsletter, even if it kills me.

Funny enough, even though I know school is supposed to be starting soon, many of the colleges here don't ...

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! Honestly, it isn't really fun being bedridden after trying to work your legs too much while running. That's usually not a good sign, isn't it. Not to mention that my area is literally filled with hills. Civ had a lot of activity this week. I'm surprised how minor drama that happens the week before spills out into having major worldbuilding implications, but I think that's just how Ci...
