Navigating relationship emotions is like being copilots. I want to know what all our gauges say but your dude says "Just VFR it, babe", so sure... I could stick it like a Sopwith 880, or you could tell me what's up and we make this thing a F-14 Tomcat.

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included.

“ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval. And the noise has the added benefit of drawing large crowds of bystanders who can quickly outnumber the ICE agents.”
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

A wonderful essay, however I'd title it differently based on what we've seen the last few days, as well as the essay's own conclusion:
This is why we DON'T fear ICE.
Minnesota is battle-hardened. The unity among us is incredible. We will prevail.

ICE not only manhandled and terrorized a 10th grader who is an American citizen, they stole his phone. And then they sold it.
I repeat, they stole his phone, and then they sold it.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

![What:
An addition ~10,000 words
2 additional intimate scenes (including a lesbian threesome)
Better Death Scene for [Spoiler]
More Clues as to what is happening in the next book!
He/Him Lesbian is more obviously a He/Him Lesbian (literally if you do not get it this time, that’s on you.)
Lesbian Polycule is more obvious (seriously, see above)
Why:
I’m an indie author, I do what I want
Writing Book #3 (Shackles and Shards) made me realize I forgot some things in Book 2 (Smoke and Steel)
I got tired of people misgendering Arishaki as a straight man when he’s a he/him lesbian.
Despite being known to write polyamorous lesbians, I guess my brand was not enough and I needed to fix that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ajo5wrxtzruen5kyrezq4ro/bafkreifghbpufun3wklj2ubm4p3fbgpqetftyoiac7dahl4w6giyahiwsu@jpeg)

We could try to make Leiber a posthumous bestseller by claiming his 1943 novel "Conjure Wife" as Dark Academia. (It was filmed multiple times, most famously as "Burn, Witch, Burn" aka "Night of the Eagle".)
It is the birthday of Fritz Leiber, (pronounced Lie-ber) the man who coined the term sword & sorcery and who wrote some of the best work in the genre. I actually read Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in prose before I read Conan.He was also a fantastic author of horror and fantasy.Just a wonderful writer.
