what matters is you and not the state of you

River walk by Tatyana Kupriyanova

The wild thing about being obsessed with your own DnD campaign is that there's absolutely NO fandom content for it except the stuff that you make

Like, what do you mean only six other people in the entire world have heard of Dave the Ice Elemental whose job is Freezer at the Fantasy Starbucks?

how do you live?

[ID: A realistic digital painting of a grey heron. Colorful red, green, and blue parakeets and white pelicans fly towards the upper left. The heron bends its head down and around and catches the wing of one of the pelicans in its beak. The heron stares at the viewer. The background is yellow orange. The shading is detailed but unblended with hard edges. The signature "@/ciearcab" is overlayed near the center of the image. End ID]

what went down in nyc at columbia and city college was a massive escalation and a huge show of violent force from the police in what is already one of the heaviest policed cities in the country, if not the world. sending hundreds if not thousands of riot cops, counter terrorism, SWAT and NYPD's notorious SRG units armed with what is basically military equipment to beat up college students and barricade columbia faculty into their apartments. the fact that they removed all press from campus and refused to let journalists in before they swept the camp is very concerning. a lot of journalists said this was an unprecedented use of force even for the NYPD and it seemed like an excuse for them to use a lot of their new equipment. NYPD reportedly entered with guns drawn. out of around 300 people arrested on tuesday, some still havent been released or even processed. this is illegal in new york state btw, people have to be arraigned within 24 hours. NYPD has been giving very little information about the people detained, not specifying where theyre being held, and taking a suspiciously long time to process them. they're apparently trying to charge some protestors with felonies. anyways all this is to say this is a major escalation from NYPD and a grim sign for the future. this is a prelude to fascism, not an alternative.

the sound of police helicopters has been constant for days. not to mention that we already have the national guard and increased police presence in subway stations because of the "crime wave"

Trucy!
