Update from SA: coldest June night in 74 years, ice in the Torrens. Here in the Barossa, where it gets both colder and hotter than down in Adelaide, the stuff in my kitchen compost bucket froze overnight. In the house!  Brrrrrr.

Started the day with a large tree in my neighbor's yard across the street being sawed down. Now a major village job to replace sidewalks and streetlights through the whole business district has begun.I live on the line between business and residential. Guess where they decided to begin? They are using a concrete saw next to my house.  Noise, noise, and more noise.

Enrollment open for the next Chapter Break Filler!

Don’t panic, the dreaded Chapter Break isn’t upon us quite yet! But, it’s coming, as surely as Winter. Some time after Midsummer. Our very own Keep Looking came up with a suggestion to liven up the bleakness of the break prior to the previous one, and everyone liked it so we want to do it again! To be able to start when the break starts, the enrollments for the daily’s prompts are now open!

See the idea and rules here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1118.0

The current prompts are on page 8 of the thread, here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1118.105

And the previous round of works (posted on each of the days of the previous break) are here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1122.0

Everyone is welcome to participate! In addition to the agreed and prepared main work for each day, anyone is invited to post on any of the prompts on that day. You only need to sign up to the Forum, which is free and worth your trouble anyways!

Something I found by chance when checking some trivia I was quoting on a Facebook post; the slogans of two military organisations that hold the power of destruction over us all. One of them is brutally, coldly honest.

Strategic Air Command, controlling US land-based strategic bomber aircraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles: Peace Is Our Profession.

Strategic Rocket Forces of the Russian Federation, controlling Russian land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles: After Us, Silence.

Two and a half hours to get to the $35k goal. So, how far do we think this one will blow past the goal? I'm thinking at least $150k.

Wow, the goal was reached really quickly! Does anyone know if it was this fast for the previous print runs too?

From what I remember it went really fast for the others. A lot of the books also sold out within hours of when they first went online in the beginning as well.

I assume part of it is because Minna lives in finland the money laws make it hard to throw random sums of money at her, so aside from buying things at the store, the kickstarter is the big opportunity for sending her all of the monies XD
