The Time We Have: A Conversation Between Brothers is NOW AVAILABLE

A tragic two-player zombie roleplaying game played on opposite sides of a closed door. A game about what it means to be a brother.

Want to learn more about the game? It's time for a megathread ⬇️

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸
