Also, my all time favorite game to play GMless is Starforged. Really brilliant Oracle tables, and character creation is great at sparking ideas for who your character is.

It looks like it is a little controversial, but there is some evidence that some people slept sort of half sitting up.

They could also sleep sitting up, propped up by pillows, as in ye olden days.

I feel like the perfect depiction of this is in Knives Out. Somehow by the end of the movie I'd forgotten that the giant sculpture was composed of actual knives! It surprised me when one of the characters grabbed a knife --I'd been thinking of it as a set piece.

First I get a concept, then plot follows. (Usually. Some of my flash are just vibes.)
"What if someone used the 4th of July fireworks as a cover for killing vampires?"
"What if someone started a taco truck as cover for a heist, but then realized that they really just wanted to make tacos?"

That is terrifying but also life goals.

My sister-in-law is Japanese, and lives in Japan. She has four months of maternity leave at 100% pay, one year at 60% pay, and a total of three years where her job is held for her.

It makes having kids a lot easier.
