3 more weeks before tucking away for 1/month.

Note: Card Titan folded like a cheap suit and will be allowing Joe back in 2026 with open arms.
It's always gonna be about money, and as long as bigots give a cent to them they will roll over and spread hole to receive it. Sad day.

"Being a wizard isn't possible", my 2nd grade teacher said. Now I spend my days communicating across the globe, doing potion experiments, harvesting components, and on the weekends making fire shoot out of a wand to practice casting spells downrange.

Having people who don't know there are different types of tortilla tell you that Taco Bell quality tortillas are better to dunk on a thriving immigrant-owned business is the funniest part of mh day today.
Thankfully this will gatekeep Sonoran tortillas for a few years. That translucent goodness.
