Who likes playing Raccoon Sky Pirates and draws architectural plans for a living? I need to create maps of four houses, each with its own character, and the pages need to look like they were stolen from a glossy, large-format real-estate magazine

For some reason, while I'm working, my brain is imagining a Star Wars-Godfather mashup:
- 10 thousand?! We could almost buy our own ship for that!
- Yeah but who's gonna fly it, kid? You?
- You bet I could. I'm not such a bad pilot mysel—
Obi-Wan puts his hand up.

I can't stand for ICE's impunity. They shot Renee Nicole Good, neglected to provide first aid, actively prevented a physician from tending to her, then drove away from a crime scene. Attend a non-violent day of action tomorrow. Get in the streets. Show up. Let's make our voices heard.
