• [D&D] Before the Gravel Mine

  Before the orcs ruled the gravel pit Galentaspar, it was a thriving Dwarven kingdom: Ludhold. Prized magical lead minserals such as galena and dioptase were prized from the depths of the ridge where Ludhold stood.

• Bellingham Air Museum

  I like the phrase “starter crank.” I loved planes as a boy, but now I’m bitter about the symbolism. Is this an attempt to poke at jingoism? I love the tone of the shiny metal, truly. HIgher res available.

• Women’s Domestic Freedom…from Cars

  This article by Elly Blue describes a confused world full of sexism, angry drivers and confused cyclists.
