If you could be given a boon from a magic item but it had to be like silly what weird boon would you pick?
Things like "+3 to Sock Matching" for example
or "10% increased chance of the next cat you meet liking you"
"+2 to Find That Thing I Was JUST Holding"

That fun and wonderful moment when you've been ghosted by your rental company (the one illegally trying to keep you from reassigning your lease) so the next step to threaten to press charges.
Yay.
Yay.

Happy TDOV! This is a piece I did for Beyond Your Binary: a Trans Anime Zine. Not my usual style, but I wanted to play with halftones and limited colours. #tdov

Shaaaady landlords trying to tell us that they don't offer lease transfer as an option, only subletting.
Three seconds of googling tells me in big bold letters that this is, in fact, illegal. So I guess there's a call to the tenancy board in our near future. Whee.

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

check your ndc / manufacturer on your label first! pharmacies receive lists of affected lots and should be reaching out to patients as well. this is specifically for sun pharmaceuticals' generic, starting numbers 57664
As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

Last reskeet-- the questions in that survey are irritiating and leading and the damn thing took me an hour to fill in, but you bet I stressed environmental impact, job loss, and IP theft, and pointed out things like Air Canada losing a lawsuit due to a hallucinating chatbot to boot.
