'The Fates' is about the classic three sisters from Greek Mythology learning how to mourn their own loss.

I've been writing a play a month for 2025. Pick a month and I'll tell you about it! With five completed for the last five months, I'm nearly halfway there.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it Just before the graphic artist Rebecca Burke left Seattle to travel to Vancouver, Canada, on 26 February, she posted an image of a rough comic to Instagram. “One part of travelling that I love is seeing glimpses of other lives,” read the bubble in the first panel, above sketches of cosy homes: crossword puzzle books, house plants, a lit candle, a steaming kettle on a gas stove. Burke had seen plenty of glimpses of other lives over the six weeks she had been backpacking in the US. She had been travelling on her own, staying on homestays free of charge in exchange for doing household chores, drawing as she went. For Burke, 28, it was absolute freedom. Within hours of posting that drawing, Burke got to see a much darker side of life in America, and far more than a glimpse. When she tried to cross into Canada, Canadian border officials told her that her living arrangements meant she should be travelling on a work visa, not a tourist one. They sent her back to the US, where American officials classed her as an illegal alien. She was shackled and transported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention centre, where she was locked up for 19 days – even though she had money to pay for a flight home, and was desperate to leave the US.

Just heard #nanowrimo is closing 😢 I've used that site to write all my long form stories + keep track of word count. I would love to know alternatives, if anyone knows any. Posting it here feels too much like a self-proclamation. Is that what it comes down to? #storytracker #storytelling #wordcount

For real

Happy to have portrayed Doris in a playreading this week for, 'Same Time, Next Year.'

Cool that her name was Doris.
Weird that I portrayed a 'Doris' twice in a row.

(Doris in Miracle on 34th Street was last).

A photo of a person holding up a handmade rally sign reading "A world without trans people has never existed and never will" among a group of protesters.

Trans people have been here since the beginning.

And we're not going anywhere.

I think the word is still spreading, but I'm doing my best. Spread the word!

My understanding its: Meta and Twitter, then Amazon, then all streaming services first.

Black and white photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. with quote "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." the quote is attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. In the photo, Dr. King is wearing a suit and tie, standing at a podium speaking.

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

WELCOME AQUARIUS SEASON! AHEAD OF YOUR TIME AS AN EXTREME SPORT! APATHY IS OUT! FREEDOM AS A LOVE LANGUAGE! ORGANIZE! REVOLUTIONIZE! FUTURIZE! REFUSE TO OBEY IN ADVANCE! CEASEFIRE IS THE FLOOR! COLLECTIVE LIBERATION IS THE GOAL! LIFE IS SHORT! THE OLIGARCHY IS HERE! NEVER LET THEM STEAL YOUR JOY!

Universally getting rid of meta and TikTok has been enlightening, but let's remember our community is most important outside of an app. ❤️ Not goin' back. These were some of my saves before I left the clock. Spread the word for those that don't know. ✨ Love ya ✨
