Weird Harvest - Hot for Teacher
Greetings jank enthusiasts and aspiring jank mages! Welcome back to Weird Harvest for our third reader request in a row. This is by far my favorite thing to do.

Ultra Budget Brews — Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient
Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that (fondly) remembers when fast food places had actual dollar menus instead of 'value menus'.

Yes, it seems […]
