Slime in the Ice Machine is out on Kickstarter today! Go look to get your hands on the game, or a number of pieces of choice merch including a tarot deck, a plush demon, and a coloring book. www.kickstarter.com/projects/aco...

IT’S SLIME TIME! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aco...

jokes aside: I would be delighted to suddenly get a text from someone who I hadn’t heard from in ten years. It is never too late to re-enter my life.

An AuDHD woman who forgot to reply to your message ten years ago has spent the subsequent decade deliberating over how to re-instigate contact, sources have claimed.

This took me a minute but when it hit it hit.

Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.
