I think a lot of us millennials & older really take it for granted that we were the last of only a couple generations where there was an all-encompassing campaign to encourage literacy. Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!"

I feel this sometimes about co-founding and co-leading a mahjong club in my town. Or at least, some weeks it doesn't feel like much. But in a world and a society that acts to atomize us, community building is worth a lot. RRC is one of the pillars holding Xrd up right now, I think. Let it be a W

when I was having a real emotional Time a few days ago, I randomly had the idea of churches with drive-thru confessional and drive-thru communion. i wasn't high, at the time, actually. I told my friend about this idea and said i thought it was kinda lit. I don't think she saw the vision

Got steamrolled in FF brackets but during casuals I think a few things fell into place, and had a few very helpful chats with better players. Qualified success?

Gonna be at Frosty's soon but will be off here all weekend. If you're there and haven't ever played, consider swinging by the mahjong tables if you need a break from the setups! Also beat me in guilty gear!
