This chapter of Alien Heart’s been by far the most talky and ostensibly boring (very lore heavy, entire page dedicated to an ID card layout for an example) but you know what… I’ve really been enjoying it 🥹

If you're buying gifts for spirited 12 year olds who have read most of the middle grade graphic novel canon, can I recommend my book The Legend of Auntie Po? It's multi-awarded, and well reviewed, but hasn't entirely found its commercial footing.

A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

It's true. And he's not talking about backpackers doing hostel stays and eating out of bean tins.
A week on the French Riviera costs less than a week at Disney World. Bright Sun Films (travel YouTuber) did the math.

Absolute side note here - it is way cheaper to go to Europe than it is to take your kids to Disney world.
