There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.
Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.
We need endurance in this moment.

can't wait to have the experience I get when I look at BG3 fan art on Tumblr: enjoying seeing my friends Karlach and Wyll and Lae'zel and getting jump scared by the random stranger they all know who wasn't in my game for some reason
