I’ve played a lot of Sonic games in the last 8 months

Halloween name @urbaneturtle.com · 13h

Sonic Adventure is janky but charming as a trailblazing piece of software. SA2 is a mess.

Government funded child care is what you are describing and what we want.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

We claim we want a village to face the struggles of parenting, Louise Perry says, “but I suspect that what we actually want is something closer to a paid service — a community that we can subscribe to when it’s convenient, and back out of when it no longer works for us.”

Drew Struzan was probably best known for his movie posters, but we will always cherish his many, many contributions to our bookshelves - a master, and an inspiration. ✨
