← “I understand that we need to take every step possible to keep America free from the threat of terrorists and saboteurs, but we should always keep in mind that Freedom makes America great. When we remember this, we also have to remember that Freedom comes with a price. That price may be as steep as our lives or the lives of those we love.” The only one. →

I use affiliate links on this blog when possible. Affiliate links include Amazon, Bookshop, Abebooks; and less frequently Powell's and DriveThruRPG. I may earn a small commission if you click through and make purchases.

I run ads on this site to help pay the bills and keep the lights on, including Google, Amazon, and, a scrappy indie network, ComicAd. If you use an ad blocker, consider becoming an ongoing supporter on Patreon, Bandcamp, or Ko-Fi to chip in and continue guilt free.

Some images on this site are created using AI/ML generators (MidJourney and Dall-E) when posts otherwise wouldn't have pictures or they seem fun to me to add.
