Dude, this is so cool. A canoe from circa 3200 BCE just chillin in the dirt in Wisconsin
Archeologists in Wisconsin found an ancient canoe that is over 5,000 years old!! The discovery was in a canoe “parking lot” along a popular waterway and trail system.
Wisconsin archaeologists identify 16 ancient canoes in a prehistoric lake 'parking lot'
Archaeologists have identified more than a dozen ancient canoes that Indigenous people apparently left behind in a prehistoric parking lot along a Wisconsin lakeshore.

I love this story, it's just my kind of fantasy, weird, kind, and all about gloriously smashing the machinery of the exploitative rich
New today from @reckoningmag.bsky.social's #neurodivergent reprint collection, A CHORUS, DIVERGENT, Kat Murray's "Fixing the System in Tilt Town." This determined story, with an equally determined ND main character, explores just what it means to build it back better.

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.
Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.
