Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

The Geller news is heartbreaking. Learning of these crimes always is. Rather than listen to a perpetrator, I recommend reading Nathalie Lawhead‘s important account of outing a rapist and games media‘s subsequent betrayal of her bravery. It must have been so heavy to write. Justice for survivors.

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

Louise Bourgeois The Hour is Devoted to Revenge 1999

"The houris devoted to revenge" a delicate, abstract drawing placed in the lower-left quadrant. The drawing is a dense, organic mass composed of hundreds of tiny, overlapping, hand-drawn loops and concentric scribbles. It resembles a tightly coiled wool ball, a simplified flower head, or a complex psychological knot, rendered in a muted gray or soft purple ink.

There should be more art of planeswalkers with their sparks depicted like Mary's Immaculate Heart or Jesus's Sacred Heart in catholic art. A lost spark could be represented with a blacked out void where the spark used to be. I think it could be cool idk
