howdy folks. i regret to inform that it is the first of june and we are thoroughly in the bowels of this strange year in post-apocalypse. around here, june means worldbuilding, of course! if you're not familiar, worldbuilding june is a daily challenge in the month of june wherein participants answer questions about—you guessed it—their world. it's a great chance to flesh out your world a bit, as well as show it off to your fellow community members!
this year, there's no new prompt list, so i'm providing this one from 2020, but feel free to mix it up however you wish:
