Looking for a #horror tale to get you into that autumnal mood?
Wayward Autumnal is a sylvan horror of feminine monstrosity. A dark fairy tale in a lush, twisted wood 🍂
It's completely improvised using Under the Autumn Strangely. It's an audio story, but I put my whole ass into the visuals. ENJOY!

This just makes me think really hard of the Wayward Autumnal AP (put on by @annethegnome.bsky.social, game by @thismaybegraham.bsky.social), which I really need to dig into and finish this season

Someone said don’t call MAGAs “Christian Nationalists,,” but call them Nationalist Christians, or “Nat-Cs” for short.
And now I can’t unsee it.

It’s not just that prison meals are bland and unappetizing — though they often are.
In lawsuits and news reports, kitchen workers at prisons in Arizona, Oregon, and elsewhere reported seeing boxes of food that were served to prisoners marked: “not for human consumption.”

Prison Food Is a Growing Billion-Dollar Industry. Many Meals Are Inedible.
As private food providers' contracts grow, the meager and moldy portions behind bars have forced some people to eat toothpaste and toilet paper.
