![A spread from my fantasy western, Hexslingers.
On the left main character Katie nervously exits the scene of and an onlooking crowd. She grabs her pointed tan-colored witches hat from the ground, knocked off her head by a spell - which as also left a hole in the main body of the hat. She stuffs it onto her head and mounts her blue spectral horse, telling another figure "Doc" Thorn Willoughby, that it's "time to go." He agrees with an "mmhmm"
On the right a splash page featuring a large wooden trestle attached to a cliff upon which sits a western style town. at the tip a crowd is hustlin and bustlin, all while screaming, "We're free! Justus [an evil deputy] is dead! Down with Mancers!"
below heading down the path we see Katie and Doc making their escape. With three inset panels we see Katie speaking to Doc. She says, " Doc... frightful sorry 'bout yer arm" to which doc replies, "Don't fret. When we make camp I'll give it a look"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rxg3plmqdklv4qq2meagldoe/bafkreicwzcv5x6e5sb6vo3bylm4cocneefxpyjwzvhvcuviurnhtx4tvya@jpeg)

This place has had their doors locked for this very reason, only doing pick up and delivery, and these "agents" just..... camped out in the parking lot until someone walked outside, and grabbed them. I saw the aftermath, just 15 minutes after. I feel sick.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

ICE has been all.over North Minneapolis for days, by the way. They didn't just get there last night.
North Minneapolis goes for 30 blocks north of ground zero. In many places it goes 26 blocks west. It goes all the way to the river.
Thank you for not noticing us for days, as usual!

When they propose spending increases on violence work, you can treat that as a big pot of money that should be given to life affirming things instead.

What? “Everybody has it open”? I don’t even know where chatGPT lives
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride).
Once a lab steward, always a lab steward.
Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.
