Weekly reminder that it's not okay to illegally download and distribute free copies of recently-published books from a niche market where the authors depend directly on monthly royalties to pay their bills.

Books are a luxury and if you can't afford a title, save your pennies or check out a copy from your local library. There are plenty of free resources and public domain texts available in the meantime.

It's worth mentioning that plenty of authors in the witchcraft and pagan markets make a point of providing free resources and advice to the community on a regular basis, myself included. To take that information and then turn around and steal from us on top of it is not only petty, it's cruel, especially considering the financial hardship we're all facing in the current economy.

Download overpriced textbooks and public domain titles, not witch books.

It feels a bit naff to be posting this here where crowdfunding tags are full of requests for literal life or death situations; but this is my very talented wife, who is just hitting her stride as an artist. She has had a piece accepted into the juried exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival, which is kind of an Olympics of quilting. This is a Big Deal and could be life changing for her.

All her quilting associates and mentors are telling us that she absolutely has to be there herself if possible for the opportunities this could create, so we’re turning to crowdfunding. The clock is ticking as the show is only a few months away and the sooner we could lock in flights and accommodation the better.

I’m a believer in the power of weak links, so a reblog is as good as a donation :) Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Update

Thanks to some incredible generosity in the Givealitte and a funding application being accepted Daena has been able to reserve accommodation and lower the Givealiitle target. Things are looking good. Thank you everyone who has shared or contributed so far :D

Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby are all grown up and are in the space station. Dewey goes outside, puts on a spacesuit and goes to check the safety of the satellite. Louie also goes out with Dewey to help him, otherwise Huey made Louie go out in a spacesuit, to fix the satellite since he wasn't doing anything. At that moment Dewey said:

Dewey:"Houston, we have a problem!"

Huey hears Dewey over the communicator and says:"Dewey, what happened?! Did you fix the satellite?!"

Dewey:"Er, ugh...I did. I fixed it."

Huey:"So why do you say we have a problem?"

Dewey:"Huey, common! Can't I enjoy the great role of an astronaut?"

Huey:"Dewey, this is no joke. We're getting ready to go to Mars, and you're doing stupid things. We can't go until the satellite is fixed. Besides, this is not an act, but a serious mission. Get serious."

Dewey:"Hey, look what's on the Blueskey network? Wow, a meteor shower."

Huey:"Dewey gets serious and puts his cell phone down. Wait, did you say meteor shower?!"

Dewey:"Yeah, I saw the pebbles running. Oops, Louie, let's get out of here. Meteors are attacking us!"

Dewey:"Where is Louie?"

Huey:"We don't have Louie?! Louie, can you hear me?!"

Louie:"Here I am alone. Webby saved me at the last minute. I took off my helmet and I'll tell you this, this is the last time you sent me on a suicide mission. I could have been killed. At least I took this piece of meteor with gold. It will come in handy for my collection and Incorporation."

Huey:"Are you alive? Thank God! I thought I lost you forever."

Huey hugged Louie.

Louie:"Please don't. You're suffocating me while I'm in a spacesuit."

Huey:"Sorry, but I'm glad you're alive."

At that moment, Webby enters the station together with Dewey, who saved him from the meteor at the last moment.

Dewey:"I dew it! Oh yeah! Oh Louie you here? I'm glad you're alive."

Huey and Louie were so angry with their brother that Huey and Louie both slapped him.

Huey:"Are you even sane?! We lost an important mission?! What will the Duckburg Space Agency say to us about this?!"

Dewey:"Ok, what are you mad about? Can't I be kidding?"

Huey:"Seriously bro, we could have lost you. You still act like a little kid, even though you're all grown up!"

Dewey:"But this is the only time I could enjoy the spacewalk, is that a problem?!"

Huey:"Yes, it's huge. Our lives could have been in danger because of your lack of preparation."

Dewey:"Okay, I sympathize with the guilt. I am guilty and ashamed of having done this stupidity."

At that moment, the sound of a small burst of material coming from the satellite was heard. When Huey looked out the window to see what it was, he was surprised.

Huey:"Is that from that satellite you Dewey fixed?"

Dewey:"Yes, why? Looks like a meteor hit him."

Huey:"Oh my God! Houston, we have a problem. Definitely a real problem. DSA, can we hear you?"

DSA:"What problem?"

Huey:"The satellite in charge of telecommunications was destroyed by a meteor impact. Mission failed."

DSA:"Reception. We are sending you quick help. Just keep calm. Reception."

At that moment, the power went out in the space station.

Louie:"This is awful! Big awful! What now?"

Huey:"Nothing. Put on your space suits and helmets, turn on your cell phones so you can see. And then we'll go into the rocket. When help from DSA arrives, then we'll see what happens."

After some time, help arrived from the Duckburg Space Agency (DSA) and power was eventually restored. However, the damage was extensive.

Dewey:"At least we're alive, right?"

Huey, Louie and Webby attacked him harshly, saying, "No thanks to you!"

Dewey then cried. Huey then comforted him and said:"Come on, calm down. It's a good thing we're alive, but in the future you should be tied up somewhere, until we solve the problem. And you don't go into space alone anymore. Do you understand?"

Dewey:"I understood you. At least I have you."

Then the four of them hugged each other in their space suits. The end.

It could all be sooo simple 🙇🏾‍♂️

arcane has never been subtle but the found-familization and plot device-ness of isha-jinx-sevika is egregiously hamfisted

Where do you personally think each member of the crew is from?

I don't have strong opinions on these but I've been enjoying italian/texan swansea, slavic anya, and japanese/fillipino daisuke. curlys I guess supposed to be british adjacent and jimmys like american in my mind ig.

in the same vein, I think it would be funny if pony express flew out from houston or something. nasa. you know. texas represent. fits the horse schtick.

Updates on location

We've just arrived at the gulf, you know, after having to drop off a victim of American jealousy, so we'll probably get back to Green Hills in a few hours.

And by few I mean probably closer to a day, unless the doctor has another trick up his ass sleeve that gets us out of Texas and to Montana faster than car.
