This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Blessings and wishes for love and rest for Miss Major. She's done so much and made it to 78. We named a lil' building after her here in NYC. A really good run.

listen obviously we're mad at taylor swift because she wrote a bad song about her boyfriend's dick or whatever, i just think we should ALSO be mad at her for pretty much single handedly destroying the climate with her private jet

this book is a great resource imo

Reminder that the CRPG Book is freely available as PDF. That's how the whole project started, I edited & designed it

But the difference in awareness when it went from a free ebook to a hardcover was gigantic. I hope Bitmap recovers from this mess, publishers are important to reach the mainstream :/

Hi, I spent 10+ years researching all sorts of PC RPGs: AAAs, indies, RPG Maker, non-English, etc. Together with 167 volunteers, I created/edited The CRPG Book: crpgbook.wordpress.com

You can download it for free, or buy a hardcover edition from Bitmap Books - ALL author's revenue goes to charity!❤️
