Trust me, work isn't good for your mental health when it means you have no quality of life, you have no time to yourself, you have no energy left for life, you're constantly overwhelmed by exhaustion and severe symptoms...
That's not life. That's torture.

EARTH MUST DIE is about a dumbass authoritarian dictator, and the whole game is deeply, unashamedly anti-fascist in nature.
The GOOD news is, if you're a fascist, most of the jokes will go over your head and you can just look at the pretty colours? 👍

35 years ago today, Ron Gilbert finalized the gold masters for Monkey Island.
(They were labeled 1.1 because the game was sent back into testing during the final two weeks, prompting a version update upon its return).
A defining moment that launched a legendary adventure!

They say they’re taking away PIP so disabled folx “go back to work".
But they’re also cutting Access to Work.
Drastically.
So it’s not about jobs.
It's not about "dignity" or whatever nonsense they're on about.
It’s about making life impossible until we disappear.

It’s a truly sick irony that *credit card companies* get to act as the arbiters of what is and isn’t decent. Nothing they censor could hope to be anywhere near as perverse as that.

But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience.
