As we move through these challenging times, it is so important to sustain ourselves with work that is emotionally, mentally, and, maybe even physically, fulfilling. open.substack.com/pub/susanben...

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

KAL-ARATH by Castle Grief!! Let the journeys begin! Super excited to try out this new RPG zine-style ruleset for solo and group play! A great way to just jump into a Conan-esque setting without loads of prep and planning. #ttrpg #soloRPG
