I’ve got a few of these on my blog as well. I’ve started calling them Community Lists (and I will add that tag to the older lists someday, I promise).
1. The usage of a scrying well, although they’ll need to bring something from the place, or person, they wish to scry on. 2. Passage out of town before they find you. 3. A Community list of non-monetary rewards! 4. A way back into the towns good graces. 5. A hint of what’s happening in the town. What’s, /really/, happening. 6. A reluctant backstab, and a deeper understanding of just how deep the rabbit hole goes. 7. A better understanding of why the “Villain/s” does what they do. And an inkling, that there are other forces at work. 8. Information of rites you can perform at a place of worship for a boon. 9. Information of rites you can perform at a place of worship to prevent a boon. 10. Safe passage into a secure location, but you’re on your own from there friend.
and because 3 was a joke. 11. An answer to a question you didn’t know you wanted to ask.
It turns out the 2018 midterm elections were pretty much a rout. Counting all the votes makes all the difference in the world.
In the House, as of this writing, the Democratic gains are up to 30 with about five more races still to be called — in which Democrats are leading. A gain of 35 seats would be the largest House pickup for Democrats since the first post-Watergate midterm election in 1974.
The Democrats picked up seven governorships, with Stacey Abrams, as of now, still fighting to make it to a runoff in Georgia, and Andrew Gillum trailing by 0.4 percentage points, enough to trigger a recount in Florida.
In the Senate, Democrats may not quite have pulled off an inside straight, but they had two aces — in Nevada and Arizona. With 26 seats to defend, many in red states, it now looks as if their losses will be small. Democrats won in Nevada and are now poised to pick up a seat in Arizona.
Early on Election night, idiot relic James Carville told progressives that there was no Blue Wave. This set a narrative that idiot right wing dickheads were happy to run with, because it demoralizes progressives and our allies.
When this is all done, it looks like the “not a blue wave” will result in Democrats controlling the House after winning around THIRTY seats, and Republicans will continue to control the Senate after picking up a single seat.
It’s clear and undeniable that America is fed up with Trump and people like him, and it’s clear and undeniable that Americans are overwhelmingly good and decent people who reject Fascism and Authoritarianism.
Don’t let Trump and his lying allies trick you into thinking that America is the country they want it to be, because it’s very clear that it isn’t. To be sure, there are pockets of regressive, racist, revanchist trash in our country, but they are outnumbered by those of us who reject everything they stand for.
It’s heartbreaking to lose close races, but we must remember that the forces of evil have rigged the game against the forces of good, and they are still either losing or barely winning.
Have faith in your fellow humans. We’re going to prevail, together.

“I’ve got a 600-year-old elm tree in my garden,” McQueen said, “and I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a prince and become a queen.” After a trip to India, the designer worked like a fiend for months in his studio, with images of Queen Victoria, the Duke of Wellington, and the Indian Empire running through his mind. They were transformed into ballerina-length multi-flounced dance dresses, each more insanely exquisite than the last: A miraculous red-feather-fronted number turned to burst into a froth of creamy frills in back; another came covered in baby-fine knitted lace; a third had a pair of peacocks—again fashioned from cutout black lace—with their tail feathers fanning out over ivory tulle petticoats.
