We need different maps for different situations. The one above was used by NASA astronauts for the Apollo 11 mission. No matter how good the map is, the usefulness depends a lot on our personal literacy: the ability to read maps is way underrated.

Our contributors have done a bang-up job of map-reading this week.

You'll see: we've been around the globe again, and rooting in the attic, and exploring with our imaginations. Here are some of the things we've come up with:

Natural Beauty. Willem and his friend Ruan were sneaking around after dark peeking at these tiny chameleons. We get to see them, too. We also get a first glimpse of the Hanglip Forest (more to come!). Meanwhile in Europe, there are signs of spring. In Pennsylvania, I drive over some history. From England come sunrises and moonrises, while Scotland's landscape continues to delight.
Much creativity. There are two chilling scifi stories. I tackle Dr Seuss, and wrestle him to the ground. (I've been wanting to do this since I was 10.) Solnushka visits an astonishing art museum. We dip into the archives and find a ballet dancer who walks like an Egyptian; meanwhile, PT Barnum dredges up a childhood memory that will make you laugh.
Humour and Tall Tales. Bluebottle's plot keeps thickening. Desideria's friend muses. Martin Hyde keeps swashing and buckling. Take a peek at the cartoons. Let Awix explain about the big butterfly.

We'll be back next week with more Stuff. (Send more Stuff!) Keep warm, stay safe, and remember: the rain (and snow!) fall on the just, the unjust, and small, aggravated dogs. So be quiet, Lola.

Quote of the Week: Had a dream that I was at a conference (irl! truly fantastical) and someone gave a paper that included the sentence 'Queer studies is a freezer, and we are the frozen headless fish.' No, I don’t know what it means either.
