Dwarf gonna carve the sides, not the strikeface which will get damaged and does it’s job better when flat.
the strikeface which will get damaged
That’s advanced dwarven smithing.
Etch your logo into the strikeface so customers leave your stamp on their foes like it’s a calling card.

Ursula le’guinn wrote a novel with this premise!
Semley’s Necklace. A lovely entry in a lovely collection.
One of my favorite things about the Wind’s Twelve Quarters are her notes on gender and pronouns regarding the Left Hand of Darkness and Winter’s King. The way she has to invent words to describe what’s commonplace to us now is fascinating.
It’s similar to this old Macintosh demo I fall asleep to sometimes. Words that are so normal now are foreign and need explaining. I love a good time capsule.

Ursula is okay, but here are a couple of broads who knock her for a loop.
Joanna Russ was one of the first ‘out’ science fiction writers. If you want an adventure, try ‘Picnic On Paradise.’ Or get deeper with ‘The Female Man’
Suzy Mckee Charnas. ‘Walk To the End of the World’ is ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ raised to an infinite power. After the War, the elites were locked in fallout shelters. Eventually the males decided that it was all the women’s fault. Now centuries later, all the women are slaves.
The Female Man is hella transphobic.

The Female Man was written in 1975.
Sorry that a book written fifty years ago isn’t up to date in its approach.

I got a dog for my husband.
It was a fair trade.

Glad to hear, and happy holidays yourself!

Why should the date matter?

Have you ever had a conversation with anybody over fifty years old?
Do you think that you’ll feel exactly the same about everything you believe fifty years from now?

Sometimes I wonder if boomers know divorce is legal in most of the world.
