When you see a video of ICE online, report it directly to us, and we will identify the agents and map the incident.
The more detail you share, the faster we can identify the agents.

Accountability is coming for ICE thugs, they just don't know it yet.

Chapter 11 of Dragon Tears is done.
One more Chapter and almost 2 weeks to successfully achieve my goal for November.

Wish me luck!

Same goes for this French Canadian. We will not stand for such disrespect.

Military family problems.

We move, usually after 4 years. We're in the middle of year 3. My kids want to know when we're getting posted so they can meet new friends at a new school.

We are not getting posted.

They still want to go house hunting, lol

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer...

So, anyway.

I have books and stories out there.

If you're the parent of a disabled kid, I just want to tell you I know it's hard and I know you feel like you're failing constantly, but you're doing it and you're doing the best you can and your kid absolutely loves you for it.

by the way bro, you're not obligated to do anything here. It's your space. You don't need to be here all the time. You don't need to reply to every reply or DM. Mute, block, whatever at will. It's a great place to connect with cool new people. But protect your peace along the way however you need to

ICE is all over my state. I am on my way to help families. If you guys don’t see me for awhile that’s why. I just don’t want anyone to worry.

This novel has an interesting backstory. It involves leather coats, rugs and bus stops. In November 2019, I was on a trip in Scotland, where I met a friend and fellow writer. That's a story for another post. The only thing linked to the story is that said friend was immortalised in these pages.

Alright, now that budget 2025 has passed and no election was triggered, I sigh in relief.

Friends, we write at dawn!

I had a nightmare about Trump putting his arm around my 11 year old. It was terrible. He and those like him are dispicable.

There is something inherently wrong when talented, multi-nominated and awarded WOC in sff are worried about food security.

they live among us, in that moment.

One last chance to feel them, see their smiles, hear their voices. On the 11th month, on the 11th day, at the 11th hour, the guns fell silent and we remember them, we honour them.

The missing man formation hurts, the empty table at the mess diners are emptier than they used to be, but the people we are missing are with us, in spirit.

You can actually feel them there.

Me: I'm going to write today!

Opens the document, reads back, and deletes four paragraphs.

Well, that took an unexpected turn. I guess I'll be deleting what was causing the writer's block and go again today!

The joys of writing.

It turned to ice where I am. I always liked the sound of ice hitting the window. So long as we have no place to go, let it...ice.
