Would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza after it's rebuilt?

Trump: "It would be my hope that could do something really nice... where they wouldn't want to return."

Happy Soltice all. I'm atheist, but my wife is pagan and my eldest was born on the 25th.
Tonight we have a big roast dinner, have a few drinks, and settle down under blankets to read the dark is rising together. At some point, I'll head to bed while the others try to stay up to watch the sun rise!

There are so many parents being forced into #homeed so late in their kids schooling our groups are just being flooded by parents panicking about getting their kids in for GCSEs. Over Xmas I might write a guide and post it on a site or something.

This is stupid...i know it's stupid but my eldest diagnosed with Asthma today and though I'm grateful the medication has already seemed to have a positive effect (I'm not hearing the coughing from upstairs tonight) I feel guilty as she's obviously got it from me.

Timeline wise, NWN came first in 2002, then WoW in 2004, and lastly DDO in 2006

but was the kobold comic character set before 2002 or do we owe everything to Deekin Scalesinger!

Richard @weylund.bsky.social · Dec 2

Ok conversation on #doo tonight made me start thinking. Kobolds across the multiple PC games all have a similar voice, and comic attitudes

NWN introduced the (in)famous Deekin!
WoW with many "You no take candle!"
DDO's "Kobolds never forget the Waterworks!"

Not sure what to say except I've kinda been there as well.

I went to talking therapy, and I can talk about what worked for me but not sure it's the same for you.
I'm not great at this stuff but if you do want to chat to someone let me know and I'll send you my mobile.
