## Resource

Merry Christmas, y’all. This week we’re taking a short break from regular episodes—because this is real Christmas, not fake Christmas—but we didn’t want to leave the season unmarked. Dungeon Crawler Carl means a lot more to us than explosions, an unhinged AI, and a talking cat. At its core, it’s about refusing to be broken, about surviving together, and about the truth that no one gets out alive alone. With that spirit in mind, we wanted to use this moment to talk about mutual aid. Whether it’s donating food, clothes, money, or time, there are so many ways to support your community—especially during and after the holidays. We talk about practical ways to help, what actually benefits unhoused folks, and why January matters just as much as December. From food pantries to simple, human-scale acts of care, there is something everyone can do if they have the spoons. We know this time of year can be hard for a lot of people. So consider this a reminder, straight from the dungeon: we are stronger together. Happy holidays, and we’ll see you in the New Year.
