No justice. No peace.
Those causing these injustices do not deserve any peace. Bully them and then bully them some more.

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.
"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.
"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.
"Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have."

Less than 5 copies remain for ARC, Magus, and What Dust Remains, while 9 are still available for Inang-Uri.
I initially thought they'd last until New Year, but folks have been FAST. With 90+ copies downloaded with each game, I hope they've been a source of good holiday cheer!

If you liked literally any of the ALOM graphic and layout design you should grab an emergency commission from Luna and help her out!

To me em dashes convey urgency—your sentence is tripping over itself to get out—there’s no time for deliberative punctuation!
Commas, those are slower. They mosey, they take their time, they list.
Parentheticals would be whispered asides, or footnotes in print (barely worth mentioning, really).

99% of rpg zines and books should have page numbers.
And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.

Even after this happened, they're still rolling out another AI "powered" feature to catch up on books in your Kindle library.
I imagine it's going to go just as well. www.pcmag.com/news/kindles...
Remain defiant. The only people who say this is "inevitable" are the ones trying to sell it to you.
