We’re talking about a vacation this summer so we can plan ahead. My mother (who will pay for it) said she’d love to go to Yellowstone, but it looks like it’s about a 24-hour drive for us. Still, I like the idea of going to a national park. We’re in Indiana, so this image shows about the limits of where we’re willing to...

Plus, when you’re done painting them, you can move them around a table with aquarium plants and make “BOOM” and “WAAAGH” noises while occasionally rolling dice and arguing about rules
I wonder what a work day is like for the person who comes up with the concept for the stock photos
They’ve gotta just take random nouns from a list and mash em together, right? “Let’s see, I got ‘cyborg’, and… ‘corn’. Alright, Jennifer, let’s get you into that shiny unitard. Where’s catering? Someone get me an ear of corn from catering! Raw, dammit, with the husk!”
I’ve been reading 1491 by Charles C Mann and telling my 14yo a lot of what I’ve been learning, it’s a fascinating book. We live in the rural southern Appalachians and I know for damn sure those teachers aren’t including nuance with their history.
