I say this from bitter experience—never, never, ever try to outdrink a librarian.
A librarian friend of mine likes to tell the story of how the library conference drank all the tequila in (iirc) San Antonio’s conference center, so that’s the one to beat.

Just to clear this up: If you have to sell body parts to make ends meet, you are not middle class.
My god do we need UBI
“Researchers have found that when a new plasma center opens in a neighborhood, foot traffic at local grocery stores increases, interest in payday loans declines and crime goes down, an indication of the way money from plasma props up households’ finances for necessities.“

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet
Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

First Date - Part 5
WE HAVE A FIRST KISS, EVERYBODY!
Well, it would have been a first kiss if Lôf hadn't fumbled it. He did well until now, but he's dropped the ball on this one. Hopefully the relationship can still be salvaged and Arno doesn't mind being accidentally devoured :P

Something quick and silly for Valentines Day. In spite of her spiky, punky veneer, Ryder's always been a hopeless romantic. ❤️

So clocks instead of maintenance costs?
Anyone tried running Pirates of Drinax with Scum & Villainy instead of Traveller? I’m inspired by listening to @newmadras.bsky.social & @itsquinns.bsky.social talking about it on Yes Indie’d.
