Because I spent over an hour writing a nice detailed one about the very special hell that was the outbound fight, and then Firefox hiccuped and ate it. Rather than lose daylight hours to redoing the whole thing, I just wanted to assure everyone that I was down safely, my hotel eventually located the reservation, and whoever designs United Airlines’ “meals” needs to die.

...because there's going to be a lot of it.

How bad?

So yes, this is where I'm doing a moderate bell-ringing for myself. I'll explain in a few paragraphs -- but first, I need to update what happened with the last Ko-Fi goal.

...okay. No capslock this time. But I am now expecting all international travel from and to the States to be shut down within the next eighteen days, because I can't see how this doesn't backlash on a massive scale.

This.

At 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time today -- about ninety minutes from when I post this -- the Kraven The Hunter livewatch/deadstream session will go live in the chat sever. And as always, this is for the current Ko-Fi drive: replacing the tablet.

Anyone who proposes hunting cheetah cubs will be kickbanned with prejudice.

Chirp.

And why am I microblogging (with a story tag and link) for that one, when the notifications would have gone out? Because I screwed up. A few minutes after posting the chapter, I spotted a typo, fixed it -- and then hit Unpublish by accident. Accordingly, the chapter doesn't appear on anyone's Unread list. I was hoping a fast blog would let a few more people know, as the presence of comments means I can't take it down
