I’m not sure what my kitchen helper is trying to tell me… it seems to be related to the turkey that just came out of the oven but I can’t be sure.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I know we focus on being thankful today but I hope that everyone in my life feels how thankful I am for them throughout the year. ❤️🩹🫂

OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Seriously, tho: colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer. In early stages, there are often no symptoms, which is why screening is so important.
When colon cancer is caught early, 9 out of 10 people with the disease can be cured. More info:

Greetings from a microbiologist (yep!): think of food safety this holiday!
- Cook/reheat foods until at least 160F
- Don't let your food sit out for hours on the table, it will reheat fine
- Use VERY CLEAN serving utensils and platters for your food (keep your hands and licks to your own portion)

If you find an indie game you like, PLEASE talk about it on social media. You can make a developer go from being completely unknown to actually able to make money just by spreading the word.
The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.
It can literally be a life changing events.
When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

I've been on a word game tear and especially enjoying the ways Illiterati leads you pulling apart words to repurpose letters. What's your favorite word game? What am I missing?
In the latest episode Daniel spells out his thoughts on a selection of tabletop word games and the different approaches to letter alchemy. Any others we need to check out?
