Howdy! @kingdomofthreads have let me know there's a Black Friday sale on for all their merch, including the Dragonfall goodies! 30% off until Dec 1st. I really love what they cooked up & that they hired long-time reader/fan artist @layahimalaya to bring Arcady, Everen, Sorin, and Jaculus to life!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
Well. Kidnappers most definitely dealt with but the collateral damage is immense.

I'm gunna be honest this is exactly what editors want when they say "authentic"
King's books, many of which i have read and enjoyed, are conspicuously absent from Bad Indians Book Club.
In case you were wondering if this was something a lot of us already knew.

People see a decrease in ND distress symptoms after they are out of an environment not suited to them which they had no control over and move into an environment they find fulfilling and interesting, how shocking.

An increase in ADHD after No Child Left Behind is not evidence — it's correlational and diagnoses have been rising for decades.
"Kids don't like school!" also isn't evidence. Kids have always disliked school. Without a comparison to previous cohorts this is meaningless.
