I didn't know sticker games were even a genre of game that existed, but let me tell you Little Corners is on sale on steam and it is so nice to put little scenes together while I listen to my audio books. Highly recommend!

One good thing: seeing so many abled folks angry on behalf of disabled and chronically ill people. Not just angry for themselves. Specifically speaking out for us.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Hey.
You feel this feeling that you feel right now, when there's a huge electoral rebuke of Trump and all of his dipshits, when even rural PA is voting in full slates of Democrats? You feel how good that feels, when the first Muslim woman is elected to state-level office on the day Cheney died?

Every year, all of the safety tips we see are aimed at trick-or-treaters behaving more safely around cars, and none of them seem to focus on how drivers should behave.
