Happy Indigenous People's Day

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Divergence was such a treat to watch. Four incredible episodes that end with one of the most emotional moments in CR history. And a perfect book end to the story of Exandria that began 10 years ago 🥹

all game studios are at least somewhat messy. i think an important skill is discerning when you’re in an especially messy situation far beyond the norm. like are you on great british bake off or are you actually on fuckboy island
