ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.
She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.
She’s been detained ever since:

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Finding different ways to name 100 different head slot magic items is a staple of fantasy rpg design.
I still remember the joy I felt when I asked you if I could name a hat a "chapeau" and you were all "sure"
It felt like such a triumph at the time

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror.
Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after.
Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.)
