“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time to play or create. But I went a little nuts last week and picked up the rest of Marvel Multiverse RPG while they were on sale.
Started reading the X-men book on the train. Wow. So much lore. It's great for #ttrpg and #comics fans alike. 💕 💕

Got a new job so I've been very busy. But I finally managed to work a little bit on my Yeti expansion for Portents of Fire and Ice.
By the feed back I've received I'm going to work on making a Land of Eem version of the mod.

Hi #mausritter gang and #ttrpgcommunity! Here is the cover for my next mausritter adventure! It's pretty much done, but I have to translate the text and finish a few illustrations before calling it finished. I'll likely publish it by November, along with Mausritter Month.

This entry to the Appx N. game jam is definitely high stakes and creepy. It has the bones to build an awesome #osr #dnd #ttrpg campaign.
You have until the next full moon to stop the First Master's arrival... and anyone could be the MOUTH. Pray you never come face to face with he who is no longer human.
