Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

The disturbing history of tipping in the U.S.: "It's literally a slave wage"
The practice of tipping traces its roots to European aristocracy — and took on a new life in the U.S. after the Civil War.

I second this, and I would add: borrow them from the library! If the book is unavailable when someone else requests it, it signals to the library that maybe it needs more copies! There are also royalties to authors for public lending rights, and that's not nothin'.

Reviews.
Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)
Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

This game is so fun and spins up so fast to play.
Great for a oneshot that has some unique elements without overcomplicating the gameplay.
Very fun and highly recommended if you love the mech and gundam subgenres. #ttrpg #indettrpg #mech #gundam

I'll be frank: If you're wanting a heavy mechanical and crunchy mech TTRPG, my game IronFrame won't do much for you. But if you want something on the lighter end that's meant to allow players to feel like awesome pilots, it might just be a bit more up your alley.

Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros would be the latest in this harmful trend — and could kill the movie theater industry.
If Netflix gets their way, their increased domination would make things worse for viewers and artists.

Just said goodbye to my therapist of 5 years.
A lot of great tools and work done with them.
Insurance change prompted the break (boooo).
But hoping that I find a new therapist with new perspectives to help me with future growth and personal evaluation.

Back in 1793, a penny could get you a biscuit, a candle or a piece of candy. These days, many sit in drawers or glass jars and are basically cast aside or collected as lucky keepsakes.
