I’m told it’s the best skydiving shooter where you fight dragons with a finger gun ever made!

I know it is beside the point because this administration simply wants resegregation but conferences for Black professional associations have always been open to everyone. Typically, the started as a response to white exclusion, and did not replicate that.

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

Ohio State changes policy on group conferences after Trump administration threats

A federal investigation into potentially discriminatory practices at Ohio State prompted the university to change its policies regarding conferences.

Last one for tonight is @aerialknight.com's DropShot- arcadey (finger)gunfights while skydiving. It gets you right in the action, the music is great, and I had a good time replaying levels to get every target. Really loved the boss fight level too! This is a great time.

Title screen for Aerial_Knight's DropShot. Two characters are shown shooting at each other while skydiving. One character has a gun, one has their hand in the shape of a gun.

Screenshot from Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The main character is skydiving, and their pink arm and hand form a finger gun. They are dodging red lasers while diving after targets.

Screenshot from Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The character is skyciving, with their pink arm and hand forming a gun. They are falling toward some floating islands, and the text "Dragon Attack!" is shown in the air.

End of level score screen in Aerial_Knight's DropShot. The main character has white hair, sunglasses, a mustache and goatee, and is holding up a finger gun. Rank A, Score 1194, take downs 9 out of 11, bullets left 3 out of 18, time 0049.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Witch Watch is kinda weird weekly. I was pretty into the romance angle but it's very clearly a comedy manga first and that can be annoying when you want the plot to move. I bet it's way more fun in bulk. That said as a Blue Box fan this week's WW is *chef's kiss*.

My current weeklies are Elusive Samurai, Witch Watch, Blue Box, Akane-banashi, Nue's Exorcist, Hima-Ten, Shinobi Undercover, Blooming Love, Dandadan, Ichi the Witch, Otr of the flame, A Couple of Cuckoos, and Cafe Terrace Goddesses. If I had to pick one for you it would be Akane-banashi.

Was lucky enough to win an ARC from @akpress.org , and have already found what I've read to be tremendous and timely. A gift of light, to ward off the darkness, and a reservoir of strength that we'll be able to tap into when we need reminding of our collective love and liberatory lineages.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
