Since themed grab bags have been popular in the shop before and blind boxes/bags have been received well at conventions, I decided to list a small number of blind bags con-style in the shop as well! I made them all up and shuffled them around so I don't even know which one you'll get. Have fun!

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

So.... the reason other countries respect what the USA says and does is because of our enormous amount of outgoing money to areas in need. Our generosity gives us global cred, it's a political necessity.
Apparently we've stopped that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Y’all, look at KEVIN!
I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Re: Sarah McBride, I don't care who is doing their business in the stall next to me. I find it ironic that the Republicans are claiming this is stripping cis women of their privacy rights when they absolutely concern themselves with my reproductive organs without regard to my privacy there.

In the Spring of 1864 Twain, while working as a beat reporter for the SF Morning Call, Twain witnessed the murder of a Chinese laborer by a mob that included cops.
It radicalized him. He wrote it up, one of the first things he ever authored which he thought deserved to be called “literature”…
