"What really guts me is that — for the first time all year — it felt like Democrats were united around something that mattered. We were fighting. Together. As a united front. And we were winning." - MIke Nellis

Such a fantastic time. So many questions unanswered . . .
Halloween reminds us of the thin line, the veil, which separates living from spirits and reminds us that something altogether incomprehensible could be lurking just around the corner… Which is why we're celebrating one Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

5 days left to support one of Netcrawl’s artists. The best part of being able to commission art is the connection you make with another creative. I don’t like idiots as much as the next introvert/misanthrope, but I can’t understand the mentality that doesn’t want to collaborate with other people.
