Anera is the charity I've been considering. They've got good ratings from Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, etc.
"Anera is responding to the immense humanitarian need in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Your donation will provide immediate and sustainable relief in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan."
The Netflix series Sex Education is all about a wide variety of characters' wellbeing and mental health. Even antagonistic "bad" characters tend to have hidden depths and nuance. As a show it was also surprisingly gentle with its characters, rather than just constantly beating them up for drama's sake.
I was lucky enough to get one of the transparent red ones from the second round of limited editions, but the new red one looks gorgeous as well.
The king of empty promises.
Marvin on iOS for ePubs, Goodreader for PDFs. Both solid pieces of software I've used for years.
Not sure why folks here are so down on Pocket. I've used it on a daily basis since it was called Read It Later, long before the Mozilla acquisition. It's a handy way to hang on to links temporarily, when bookmarking is overkill and I don't want to have a million browser tabs open.
Very often I spot something on Mastodon (or pre-Musk Twitter) or one of my Discord servers and want to come back to it later. Maybe I'm on my iPhone and the site is something that would be better on my PC monitor. Maybe it's a YouTube video and I'm someplace where I can't play sound. Pocket does the job.
Several of the Commander Cody serials can be seen in early episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
A Short Hike is a very charming game that's included in the sale. If you've picked up one of the bigger charity bundles on itch.io in the last couple years you may already own it.
It hasn't been that long since their last SF-themed release, with Gabriel Soma and The Singularity.
That being said, I love Alien and a Nostromo map could be amazing.
The children were devoured by saltwater crocodiles, venomous spiders, and Drop Bears within minutes.
The 2023 Free Comic Book Day issue of Conan the Barbarian is set deep within the grim, hilled land of Cimmeria, Conan's homeland.
I reviewed the Free Comic Book Day issue of Titan Comics’ new Conan the Barbarian series! The creative team has me excited and optimistic about this relaunch.
At a minimum, I'd want to be able to unrealistically change direction in mid-air.
I'd like to be able to double jump, platform video game-style. Mostly pointless in daily life, but imagine how good it would feel?
I'm not generally into racing games, but this is one series I miss. I was surprised about how it just seemed to disappear.

You might know Stephen King's It from the novel, the 1990 miniseries, or the recent movie adaptations - but have you see Woh?

Machines of Loving Grace released three really good albums from 1991-1995 (and had a good song on the soundtrack to The Crow), and then just stopped while working on their fourth. The lead singer now teaches at the California Institute of the Arts.
Outlast is 2spooky4me. Got pretty far in, but then just couldn’t get past the dread.
Never played it, but Alien: Isolation is a cool-looking game I’m not going to even bother attempting.
I love the standalone Gwent game (which I played first), but hated the more primitive version they used in The Witcher 3. Never touched it beyond what they required.
