Finally finished this move in LEVIATHAN, my in-dev mech pilot game. The Bonding Moves push characters towards moments of healing and intimacy, either emotionally or physically. The one exception is when they're on the brink of death.

I recently had a conversation with someone I love who is on the other side of the divide. Who broke my heart with her lack of empathy for the victims of the past two years - and the decades before.

I only know about this through family lore: the family dachshund once made off with the entire (yet to be cooked) turkey; they finally found him in the laundry room with his little butt wiggling out from the turkey's neck hole while he munched away at the inside

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
