I liiiiiterally have no tolerance for it. Even if we're both spanish speaking and older the well is very much poisoned because of how loaded the implication just is. Sorry that you had to deal with it :\

Its so hard to understand the scope and scale of the Federal attack on Chicago, led by ICE and CBP.

I put this map and table together, highlighting the most significant incidents from 9/19-10/25. The area shown is roughly 30 by 35 miles with incidents in all corners.

A map of Chicago and some of the surrounding area. It shows 24 map locations, with a table explaining the locations. The map markers are mostly for ICE/CBP attacks on communities and protesters, along with a few other.

The follow up post to this one has a link to a the table, including sources. It is too large for Alt Text, so if you want to know what the table says, please find the link in the next post!

Actually! Atlas Stationers was where I stopped at! I came back with a decent book, but felt like I needed to read up more on the others. There was just... so much!

This is so cool!!! I went to my very first speciality stationary store a few weeks ago in search of a journal that would click with me but got a little overwhelmed at the varied designs.. I’ll take a look at this company, these are way cute!

I think today they've abducted folks from every block I've ever lived on, both here and in Humboldt. I have no words...

A call for solidarity among marginalized communities of NW Indiana.

"This is not isolated at all. They're just snatching people off the streets. To some level, this is what certain parts of our population have always experienced. And now, a lot more people are seeing [...] it could be you next."

Gary is more than a punchline, local folks have always had this in them, come on now.

my closest-to-nuclear take is that steam sales broke the video game industry in a way it will never recover from.

I don’t like Phantasia very much but I do respect its importance for its time, it deserves to be resurfaced out of respect for the legacy of the series.

The GBA port was.. not great, with some funny localization slips (Kangaroo/Ragnarok War) and barely anyone got to play the short/lived iOS port.

Diabetica @diabetica.bsky.social · 7d

Iiiinteresting, I wonder if it’s phrased in a way that implies that the 2 remasters in development don’t include Xillia 2. I figured it was a given since 1’s out soon.

Abyss truly could use the Graces remaster-styled sidequest markers though. That era had real obnoxious sidequest windows.

One of my best pals is a long time PSIV fan and eventually got really big into Etrian Odyssey, she just started her first playthrough of Phantasy Star and it’s absolutely scratching the map sketch itch for her.

That all occurred to me too, but then the jazzy trumpets play when your gang is hanging out in said dormitory and it’s just….. a little too spot-on lmao

I’ve been fortunate to not be in one, but I’ve wondered what to do during shelter in place drills at work where silence is a priority and can’t (or forget to) silence my pump/CGM alarms 100%

really sick of the dem refrain "kidnapping legal citizens" as though it's fine if it's anyone else, genuinely what the fuck is wrong with you
