#PennedPossibilities 967: "What level of education do your characters have?"
Herrad is fairly educated for her world (as a judge, she is literate, fluent in Latin, and familiar with the law); Wulfila came by a comparable level of education much more informally (having an ex-nun for a grandmother certainly helped). As for Ardeija, he starts out as a warrior with very little formal education (although he *can* read and write, a little), but finds himself drawn into learning quite a bit more ...
#ScribesAndMakers - Do you have a sewing kit in your home?

Contains an interesting mix of buttons.
Good morning, lovely tooting friends! ☀️ Have a wonderful day!

URGENT #MutualAid #MedicalDebt
If you can, please donate something to author Piper J. Drake's GFM for medical expenses. If you are in the U.S., you know how ruinous this is. If you are not, please read the post. Either way, give what you can--no amount is too small--and share the link.
Remember: tip ZERO--GFM charges fees from the donations, you don't need to give them more money at the expense of people already struggling to raise enough money to pay their bills.

Today, we remember the disappeared that are still here: millions of people suffering from #LongCovid worldwide.
My own condition has improved since last year, even though symptoms returned this winter, but only mildly. Nothing I couldn't control with a dose of antihistamines, and the right kind of pacing.
Life goes on. But I could do without the recurring post-exertional malaise (#PEM), tremors, or the new allergies that came with this...
