who names things in australia?

its gimmick is that its a free paper, like those regional Metro papers are, only that its handed out on saturdays.

also the company that makes The Saturday Paper also publishes The Monthly magazine and Quarterly Essay which is a book length essay or two, published quarterly.

they're not big on branding

A Wind In The Door is the mitochondria one. A Wrinkle In Time is the dimensional traveling vaguely biblical one where the solution is the power of love

i consider the local crows a jovial presence compared to the raven's the size of t-rexes i have to deal with out on the channel islands. and not only are they huge, they're smart as hell. i'm pretty sure they could prey on the island fox if they got the hankering

crows (and corvids in general) are so funny when they're almost full-grown but still have the juvenile clown-frown going on

Long time no see.
So, I realize that this may be kind of rude since I never posted in this sub-forum before, but I have been lurking for years and I just started a game some people here might be interested in, possibly.

Anyway, crows are rad.
