#ScribesAndMakers 20 Mar: Self-promotion day. Shame optional.

My novella is on pre-order, set in a #solarpunk world and about a grandma who has to coordinate the defense of her village after a coloniser invades. She's a peasant and her country has no weapons, no army. The story doesn't focus on the war, we don't ever see the frontline. Rather it is my way of wondering how a country without a central government, or president and politicians, could function. https://www.ododopress.com/novellas/the-blossoming-of-the-big-tree/

I hope you don't have nightmares very often, but when you do have them, what are they about?

(Obviously this is a very short list; you probably have nightmares about bespectacled bunnies or ghostly goats or whatever. Sorry that didn't make my list.)

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

I need information (not money) to help out a friend in Switzerland. [Edited to add: they are a Swiss citizen.]

I have a friend in Montreux (Vaud) in serious crisis. They are considering voluntary self admission to a psychiatric facility. But there are obstacles:

- They have had terrible experiences in facilities in the past.
- They are on disability payments and are terrified of getting stuck with a bill they can't pay that ruins their life.

Can anyone in Montreux area recommend an appropriate facility that is guaranteed to be free and decent quality?

Or can you recommend where to go to get information and support for someone in Vaud who is in crisis?

This is high stakes situation, I live in a different country I don't need "let me google that for you" or random speculation, I need *reliable* information from people who know what they're talking about.

If anyone can help, I would be deeply grateful.
