Voice actors! I'll be posting a casting call for Candied Hearts tomorrow for this lil' munchkin.
It'll be a small, paid role so keep your eyes peeled for when the call gets posted! Folks on my roster will get an email regarding the role as well. :)

This is basically the Impressment/Press-Ganging of an underage Canadian citizen (Franklin) to prosecute a US conflict, which is one of the reasons we had the war of 1812, except the other way round.

the thing about cancelling is that they used to call it blacklisting and the right in the US has always been way more eager to do it, and way more effective at getting it implemented, than the left. 1

If you knew nothing else about him, if you saw an old man who kept bragging that being able to identify a camel makes him a genius you’d be like “this guy needs 24 hour medical attention.”
It remains very funny how he’s like “no one has ever drawn a clock better than me” like he got a perfect score on the SATs

Sure, AI slop is bad.
But if you don't cook and you're expecting to nail Thanksgiving with an unfamiliar recipe you just found on the internet, then maybe you should re-examine your decision-making processes?
Test that recipe in a low-stakes environment first!

If you cook or bake, the best thing you can do is print or write out the recipes you like. Do not trust an app or browser forever. At least 3 recipes I loved got "updated" in the past year, I only saw when I went to share the links. If I hadn't written them down, the versions I loved would be lost.
That’s it. I’m getting a recipe tin to keep them in, when on index cards after I’ve made the recipe twenty times.
