Haha! This is what I found on my writing desk fully assembled for me, when I came downstairs this morning. Thank you darling @BrianOShea! I feel oddly empowered. Maybe every writer and dissident critic should have a bipod at home in such times as these. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but perhaps these days, with the Ministry of Truth about to take aim at us, writers need both the pen and the (defensive) sword.
