I've been wanting for a long time to start some kind of regular series of Friday open thread posts here on Dreamwidth.

But today — when I actually remembered — seems as good a time as any to start.

This is a bit of an experiment for me. I'm going to try it each week during August, and see how it goes.

Today's prompt gives me an opportunity to link to Amal El-Mohtar's (free) newsletter, in which she also posts regular Friday open threads. I'm not imagining I will mirror Amal's questions every week, but this week's prompt really spoke to me. And it is:
