18 years ago, I helped save Halloween for over a thousand poor kids.
I only just realized now that this is a literally correct interpretation of that time the science museum I volunteered at put out a call for extra help for preparing "goodie bags" for the trick-or-treat event, and nobody but my parents and I showed up. So we were literally the only reason over a thousand poor kids who went to the Science Center because their own neighborhoods weren't safe were able to get candy.
Sore throat and nasal congestion and asthma. I can’t tell if I’m getting a cold or if it’s this air quality

My very first devblog, about the polygamous reptile/monster dating sim game I'm making, called Scales! Please check it out!
ReDeYe is very caffeinated this year and his necktie is amazing
why yes, I did just put on an N95 filter mask to step outside my front door and bring in a grocery order. I’m sorry that unsettled you, random dog-walking lady, but you should have one too. and your dog.
The #DOTA2 International 2018 should be starting in a few minutes on www.twitch.tv/dota2ti and I will probably be tooting excitedly about it even though I am a terrible #DOTA player. Anyone else here watching?
I’m kind of glad for Seattle Smokemageddon, it gives me a reason to stay home and watch with my media center here rather than an iPad in the office. Yeah, boss, working from home today, I have asthma, I can’t wait for a bus during 193 AQI
(that last part is totally 100% true, I swear)
Wario Land 4 deserves an enhanced remake for the Switch.

Summary: buy everything you need for the next week NOW and then stay inside. Buy N95 filter masks and HEPA filter air cleaners.
Having spent the entire day feeling headachey and unwell, I am now feeling better now that I am running out of day

@WalkoffHomer There is a large backlog of reports right now due to various trolls having signed up. We want to have time to go through them to ensure our users feel safe before letting anyone else in who might be a troll.

Mutant Standard Principle #3
## Challenging normativity, embracing uncertainty
If we live in a society where people are valued based on what is considered 'normal' or what the prevailing trends are, then we can never have a truly civilised or decent society.

We need to break past this by embracing uncertainty and radical personal choice at it's very foundations as much as we can. We should be striving for communicative tools and forms of expression that disrupt this state as much as possible.
