![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)

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

I get these kinds of responses whenever there are story elements that start to get technical: medical, legal, etc. I do my due diligence in research as best I can but sometimes things are gonna be beyond me. I always feel like I have to defend choices I make that serve the story rather than reality.

I think one of the things I struggle the most with is not writing for the bad faith critic that lives in my head. Yeah, that critic has been shaped by reader responses, but it's an exhausting place to create from.

I dunno if Discord has ever done reprisal for resisting their bullshit but - for incredibly obvious reasons - I would not trust them.

learn your history. listen to the puerto ricans calling for independence, a movement that has existed for so long, and stop blindly assuming anyone wants statehood from their colonial oppressor.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.
The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.
Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.
