I write... or I wrote. I've done other things too. Also, a big fan of waffles, comic books and classic movies. A big kid in an oversized body for over 50 years, catcher in the wry. 100% NOT the weirdo conservative doomsday prepper!!!

What were those crazy maniacs thinking?! If it was about making the vendors less cluttered with Vault uniforms... well, congratulations. Now I need to make three times as many Halloween skeleton costumes to sell. If they thought vendors were full of crap before, wait 'til they get a load of those!

What!? They ruined the price of vault 63 suits! God forbid we have steady income of caps.

Weโ€™ve already raised more than $5k to upgrade our office, meet community needs, and help candidates across the country adopt our mutual aid-centric campaign model. Thank you SO much!! If youโ€™d like to contribute, consider chipping in a few bucks at kapow.works/donate :)

We have an incredible problem: too many donations for our mutual aid hub and not enough shelves! Weโ€™ve outgrown our current setup, and we need to adapt to keep up with need, especially as we help candidates across the country adopt this model.

Oh! I almost misread that. I thought you said you were "Working on a t-shirt for ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต stuff"... awkward. And I choose the first. "Stop staring" has good alliteration; staring itself is considered far creepier than looking; and "winkle" is less obvious - and therefore funnier - than "willy".

Working on a t-shirt for important stuff. Which one?

The correct answer, according to Babylon 5, is Swedish Meatballs. G'kar explained how they truly are universal. The man was also the voice of resistance for his people, leading the fight against a brutal, fascist regime. He may have been a fictional character, but it's a good point.

Interrupting our collective doomscrolling to ask the public what the best global culinary creation is. By that, I mean what is your favorite type of dish that was somehow made by every society in some form? Mine is the dumpling.
