Vanyel ………. 😭

I am now sad about fog. 

On a more serious note, I love this idea.  Everything remembers.  It ties in beautifully with a lot of the ideas behind Diane Duane’s Young Wizard series.  What is Loved, Lives.  And continents are loved.  They support, shelter and feed all the beings that live on them.  They maybe taken for granted sometimes, but they are loved.

fog is just a rlly big land ghost

you know what’s probably more fun than playing chess? cheating at chess

“ohhh would you look at that, my pawns found jesus and now they’re all bishops”

“so i realize it looks like i’m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one that’s better, stronger, faster—”

“hey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces you’d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.”

“oof, looks like you’ve got my king cornered…maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!”

Yes! I love Sker'ret and would love to get one of his many armed hugs.

You ever just... yell about #sker'ret??

You can also look and see if the local AARP group is doing tax help near you.  They often work out of libraries so you can check in with your local library or check AARP’s website.  They have a group of volunteers who will file your taxes for free.  Their target demographic is retirees and low income but the groups I have seen are pretty open to anyone.  I was working multiple part time library jobs and paying off student debt from my masters and they had no problem helping me.
