Stop doing glue work unless it's reasonably expected for your role. There is almost never any payoff.

Arizona lawmakers want taxpayer-funded chaplains in public schools—but only if they pass a religious purity test.
This is blatant discrimination and a violation of church-state separation.
Schools need counselors, not chaplains.

Arizona Republicans are pushing a bill to let public schools hire chaplains.
A new amendment would ban Humanists and Satanists from participating in the program.

An Arizona bill to let chaplains in schools would ban atheists from participating
The unconstitutional bill requires chaplains to acknowledge "the existence of… one or more supernatural entities"

I've been working on this #godot project since the end of September 2024. I haven't done much with it since I put it on itch in December but I picked it back up last week. Here's a preview of what I've been working on.

Oh wow, yet another “moral” religious leader who built political power by attacking others—only to be accused of horrific crimes himself.
This isn’t just hypocrisy, it’s a pattern.
The real threat to children isn’t trans people—it’s predators hiding behind pulpits.

Robert Morris, the founder of Gateway Church in Texas, has said trans people are a threat to children.
He helped Trump get elected.
He prayed over Trump in the White House.
And he just got indicted on five counts of “lewd or indecent acts to a child.”

I picked up Until Then and the Emily is Away series as part of the Steam sale. I haven't finished Until Then, just the first act, but I played through the Emily games.
I have been destroyed. Please send help.
