ISTM it would be very interesting if ICE agents didn't have so much anonymity; part of their ability to terrorize and intimidate comes from that.

I wonder though: in Italy, the equivalent wages would leave an American destitute, yet people I know (and know their income) live well, go on vacations, have nice things... is it possible that there are other mechanics involved? "The other side" may just be the same side in a more sane system?

Gideon the Ninth series by Tamsyn Muir - necromancer lesbians in space; they're a fave in our house, and the audiobooks are /excellent/. Also: The Seafarer's Kiss by Julia Ember - retelling of Little Mermaid, sort-of - in Norse mythos

1 Go have experiences - anything. Take a friend out, go for a hike, visit a museum, go on a trip, get out of your space...
2 do your practice: sketches, prompts, études. Nothing that's supposed to be Art
3 play in another form
4 "I don't feel it" is your cue to do it
