I thought it would be a fun roundup to introduce the new decks that I got the last time I posted, which was over a year ago. Each deck brings in something new and fun as my collection has grown. Not only that, but I went to my first NWTS, and that was such a fantastic event that I will talk about a bit. I’m also excited to share insights into my trip to Portland and going back to San Diego.

I have an announcement, and it’s not a happy one. I have been targeted, and because of that, they have reported me to my web hosting site for using my resources linked on this site as data warehousing, which is using the web space as a place to back up data without purpose. This is not what I have been doing since these are all WordPress themes, textures, coloring, brushes, etc. I have put in an appeal, but even if it does come back in my favor, I am not bringing any of these things back. I will work on removing the pages soon, but the files are now gone and will stay that way.

I hate how many John and Jane Does are out there without information on who they were and where they came from. It really is heartbreaking. I have to wonder if anyone is missing them or if they have been lost to time. Most have either been buried without a name, sometimes in a marked grave and other times they were cremated. While I am sure that officials probably did their best in these situations, it’s sad to think that this may not have been how these Does or their families and friends would have wanted them treated after they left this earth. I am passionate about John and Jane Doe’s getting their identities back; I think it is important.

When Prince Harry mentioned last year that he would write a book about everything he and Meghan had gone through, I was like yes please, I need this in my life. This is what many people asked for, and those same people are ignoring it, but it’s Harry in his own words. Not some tabloid trash writing lies about Meghan and him while ignoring the actual scandals happening in the Royal family but digress.

A hot take is an opinion that is likely to cause controversy or is unpopular, but most people I know also know it to mean a strong take as well. There are other definition but I don’t agree with them. These are some of my hot takes in fandom, so I hope you enjoy.
