ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.
This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

I really enjoyed this story and a had a blast with the writing and chances taken. Give it a whirl if you're able. And that Jake Kelly cover? Gorgeous stuff throughout.

Are there standard presents for book birthdays like an anniversary? I think we should start, I'm thinking Year One is poppers.
CHAINDEVILS, my debut novella, just celebrated its first birthday-- if y'all like guts, drugs, and sex with a side of cosmic rural folk-tale, pick up a copy over at Weirdpunk Books!

At the behest of @bustermoody.bsky.social I picked up The Road, GNized by Manu Larcenet. I'm grateful I did, partly because of this panel. Oof, that's beautiful.

This is a super rad solo RPG. Buying it not only ensures your doom but Chris's eyesight. So, win - win.
Literally though if ten people buy The Wretched RIGHT NOW I can get new glasses tomorrow. How good is that? That's like magic.

Everyone, The Dark continues to be one of the best series coming out. This short is no exception and you can check it out for free tomorrow. While you're there, buy some work if you're able. If not, shout from your closest corner how he's one of the best cartoonists working today.
I keep saying I'm coming over here now and then not. So here's something cool!
Guess what? The lettering on THE DARK: SPIDER! Which means I'm sending out PDF's to friends, "pro's", reviewers!
Let me know if you wanna take a look ahead of it going up on my site on Wednesday... For free!

It's good to see Ol Pizzahead is just repackaging neg reviews of True Detective S4. Much like he did all of the writing for S1. He's a plagiarizing hack is what I'm saying.
