BLACK LIVES MATTER

Hey folx, there's no normal episode today because now's not the time to be talking about video games. The world is on fire and people are fighting back against police brutality, the murder of black people in our streets, and the systematic racism baked into this country. I hope everyone is safe if you're out protesting, and if you can't make it out to the street give your money to bail bonds and organizations on the front lines.

If you don't know where to start, buy the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality on itch.io. It's increadible and all the money goes to the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund and the Community Bail Fund. Give what you can, and a little more.
