Panel 1: A nun in traditional nun garb has her hands in praying position in front of Shen. She says "God has a plan for ALL of us, my child. Even YOU." Panel 2: Shen is sort of 'pogging' at her, clearly pleasantly surprised and excited by what she said. Panel 3: Shen looks up at the sky, his eyes full of wonder, surrounded by sparkles. Beams of light shine through the clouds above. Panel 4: God is up there with his fingers rested on his head, his tongue out, and a big sweat drop, as if to say "oopsie".

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

The reason that these Black-owned farms are able to do this is because they never go the subsidies the white farmers did this. And when Biden tried to correct this, the white farmers got mad. But now the Black-farmers are not being hurt as bad by Trump's policies. Reverse Uno Card here.

Delayed air travel is probably the only element of the government shutdown that actually inconvenienced dems in Congress, unsurprising that they folded basically immediately

These are the democratic senators that are potentially voting yes to "get it over with" with nothing won for the American people or, at this current time, potentially a delay on ACA vote but we still need to call them and urge them to FUND ACA and FUND SNAP no matter what 5calls.org

I did end up giving in, but it was for a place that sells 20 pieces of really good chicken for $25 so pretty worth it

Looking at cool art for Godzilla Day reminded me that I need to draw my silly long Godzilla again at some point. Maybe one day, for now there's the old one.

Meet Ember, a raku-fired bear born from flame and smoke.

Their copper, purple and orange hues shift like autumn leaves in firelight, ready to curl up and dream till spring.

Nobody else gets a vote on whether something "should" be a trigger for us. Hell, even WE don't get a vote on that.

If something triggers us, it triggers us-- & the decision we DO get is whether we're going to meet that trigger w/ realism & compassion, or let it kick our ass.

Personally I hope they keep up changing art styles between each game. It helps each game have its own visual identity.

Even beyond the difference in style, with SV going for a more realistic art style for the Pokémon, the colour contrast difference between Z-A and SV is also massive.

I heard someone on a podcast talk about "Getting DRESSED for work." and how they "Walked over to the DRESSER." and I swear I never made the connection before. "Dresser" was always just a unique word that was attached to that object and I never questioned it.

The Séance of Blake Manor is such a perfect execution of the deduction game. It manages to be approachable while still requiring deduction from the player. Not to mention the way Ireland is weaved throughout its narrative, not just used as a backdrop

I'll be thinking about this one for a long time!
