One of my side projects is The Histories, a wiki and encyclopedia of wild stories about real people. It's full of immortals, strange historians, mad scientists, and more!
If you haven't read it, you should. Also: consider getting an entry for yourself! #writing
A lot of what Americans were told about their government was wrong, i.e., a lie. The president really can do as he pleases most of the time. Oversight is a joke. Guardrails are nonexistent. The government can, is, and will be weaponized against perceived enemies and few of us have any recourse.
It was only a gentleman's agreement to make nice in front of the cameras that kept it from breaking containment.
“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.”

The kiln gods were kind today. These are freeform/organic pasta bowls. I have a set of large & small ones I made years ago, but have only recently made some bisque forms I can use to make more.
I played with 2 different colorways. I like both.
Ahoy Kickstarter experts - I made a rookie mistake in setting up my reward tiers - not offering a local option rewards to eliminate the need to ship for local backers.
I'm waiting on an answer from Kickstarter, but it looks like if I want to use their Pledge Manager (which would manage all the tax/VAT stuff), I also have to use it for shipping - which means shipping everything, even rewards for local friends, etc.
Anyone know of any workarounds?
Is there a simple way to deal with the taxes on my own? I have 60 backers, not all of them have physical (taxable) rewards, most in the US, so not insurmountable if I need to deal with that.
