It's a schooner! You've got to squint and let your eyes defocus a bit.

That or they signed the lease documents "without recourse" in red pen or whatever voodoo they've subscribed to this week.

Steve is never early, nor is he late. He always arrives at the least convenient possible time.

He's been on that planet for so long, it's like he's a whole different person!

But then he'd be doomed to die or get arrested.

My daughter found a video on YouTube Kids of some bearded dude reviewing speculation over interpersonal relationships between fictional characters in the game Brawl Stars like it was some kind of virtual celebrity dating scene.

Who has the time to worry about that crap?

Hey folks - now that the car situation is settled, we could really use some help with rent. We remain on the cusp of getting tossed out, and any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated, since we definitely can’t swing it.

sorry to be a broken record, but needs be I continue to bang the drum, as I try to recover enough to return to work.

If you can help, thank you, if you cannot, considering our current environment, totally understood, please share, and spread, and thank you, regardless.

I felt lesbian fox girls were underrepresented on Wplace (outside of Hawaii), so I added some off the coast of Cyprus. @enikofox.com

If the helmet was more armored, it could be a MechWarrior's outfit from BattleTech. A lot of the artwork in the '80s and '90s consists of combat boots, a massive neurohelmet, and very little in between.

I feel like I'm having a stroke trying to parse what this box is saying and imagining what it would taste like.

Steam's Autumn Sale is on and so many games I've been eyeing are on sale: MW5 Clans + Ghost Bear for $35, Ixion or Front Mission 1st $12, Frostpunk 2 $30... Or I could spend nothing and continue playing Minecraft.

I got dry-eye so many times as a teenager playing those games, refusing to blink for fear of missing a trick or a turn. I was still pretty bad at them.

I'm fortunate to live in a fairly quiet town of middling wealth with decent quality schools. It's not perfect, but it's nice to raise a family.

Tonight, I finally saw an unhoused person sleeping in the open, on the steps of a nearby church.

If that's not a sign of the times, I don't know what is.

He likes to be invited, but doesn't like to show. It makes him feel included.

So you're trying to say you already have better, more efficient lighting in a month than that other block-based game has had in 15 years?

The kids randomly wanted to watch Lightyear, so we put it on before dinner. I think I chuckled at more of the jokes in that film than most recent Disney offerings.

Yeah, the plot's a bit incoherent in the third act, but you know what? Screw the haters, Lightyear is good.

Went costume shopping with the kiddos, and Spirit Halloween has Pixar, Harry Potter, Squid Games, Fortnite ... Everything you could want.

Except K-Pop Demon Hunters. Massive missed opportunity.

"Year" is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar revolutions. It's not applicable.

I didn't get you anything.

It's about the right shade. Let it grow until Christmas and you could play Skeptical Santa Claus!
