TravellerJottings
Beginning in 2016, I made a few mailing list postings on various topics relevant to building cultures. Some of them generated some discussion; others didn’t. “Jottings” is essentially those postings, cleaned up a little, and with additional information from the discussion or superficial research included. References, where they exist, should not be viewed as definitive information on the particular topic, but are generally good places to start if you wish to research further.
