The cover of the comic I was holding when I met Peter Capaldi. Had a nice talk with him after.
If you’d like to help me get back to work, it’d be appreciated.
My only work computer died bad, and I’m without a machine.

Any help (even just reposting) is greatly appreciated!

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

Okay, I've seen a bunch of clips from the RFK Jr hearing, and it's all bathing crazy, but the one that NOBODY is talking about is didn't I hear him effectively accuse Senator Warnock of being involved in the assassination "attempt" on Trump? What the actual fucking fuck?!?!?!?!?!
