This story has really inspired me to also be Kate Winslet's son.
Armed with only a brilliant script, even a young inexperienced screenwriter can get their work produced by a huge studio.
You just have to WANT it hard enough. Reach for the stars, budding writers!💫

Well, even though they pulled the nazi-wizards-school bundle when they were called out for it, It seems Humble might just kinda suck.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

This is true. I have - no doubt - said stupid shit on the internet.
(unrelated to op) earlier today I heard someone say they bought Lamentations products because they like Raggi as a person.
I have never said anything THAT stupid on the internet.

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

I've mentioned, a couple of times, that I was writing a Trophy Dark incursion called Light. Well, now it's out there, ready for you to wander through a terrible magical desert while trying to save a sorcerer who can make your dreams come true.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
