mulugetaagonafer.substack.com/p/a-warning-... Current US, Iran, Israel conflict contextualized by WWI and WWII. Powerful, dire warning, but not a hopeless/doomer piece. Now I really should get back to silly jokes and video game nonsense...

How my final round of this go-round of Dead by Daylight's 2v8 ended. Wraith had the cutest wiggle, and ghostface's satisfied nod at the end is just adorable. I wish 2v8 lasted longer/was a permanent mode

Can we talk wrapping paper? The local stores wrapping papers this year are very bland and depressing. And Amazon (yes, it's evil, I know) is FLOODED with these 17in "mini" rolls this year. What is going on??? Where can I get decent--either pretty or fun--wrapping paper in the full size rolls?
