Comments like this remind me how important it is to share my story. #writerslife #documentary

Because we've been raised to believe we need men's protection. Perpetuates the patriarchal cycle.

This pisses me off so much.

Wish I could be there.

I Was Arrested for Murder After a Miscarriage My ex-boyfriend sought revenge using a baby that was never born

Laws that devalue women and take away their autonomy is not something new. We are going to see more and more stories like this.

Woman with black eye. Tape over her mouth says "SPEAK"

Sometimes I feel like I don't matter. Like the way I was treated by the law & news media when I was wrongly arrested for murder b/c of a miscarriage. But I can't be silenced. We have too much to change.

Thank you! I agree. Sometimes a messy ending is the best one.

Title slide: “THE LAST WORD – Upmarket Speculative Fiction” with comparison books Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. Dark atmospheric background with glowing white title text.

Pitch text: “Emotion is outlawed. Memory is rewritten. Nova erases memories for the regime, but when a glitching implant shows her a phantom in the code, she must choose obedience—or a truth she was never meant to remember.” Themes listed include found family, soft rebellion, trauma and recovery, slow-burn romance, and hope in the darkness. Images of a woman walking in misty mountains, a glowing neural network, and a silhouette at sunset.

Quote: “I saw you under the maple tree.” Followed by atmospheric pitch lines: “A voice she can’t forget. A past they tried to erase. A choice that could break her—or set her free.” Visuals of blood on a wall, a tactical soldier, and a futuristic city skyline.

Nine-image aesthetic grid: futuristic cityscapes, a cabin in the woods, digital patterns, a forest, broken glass, and a lone figure walking into mist. Emphasis on contrast between nature and surveillance tech.

AITA (M26) for lurking outside of my house while my wife cries? SHE'S MEAT. Is it my fault that my brain went on autopilot and took me here? Sure, I've stalked a couple of my patients, but it's the end of the world.

A pinboard with an assortment of images and notes pinned or taped in place. There is a subtle branching mycellium pattern on the board. In the top right a note is taped that says "Make me a hero." In the bottom left corner is a sticker that says "You can do it" but can is scratched out in red. Attached to the board are the following images: a sandy horse, with a speech bubble coming off it that says "Hi! I mean... uh neigh." A crystal ball with a tree at sunset. A smoking volcano. A photo of a broken red clay pot. A calendar with the month labeled Seguster. A man in an ominous black cloak standing in a field. A castle with a dragon flying near it. A black kitten being held. A raven. A meteor approaching a planet. A highland cow whose photo has tape with the lesbian flag pattern. A red string loops in a heart to a picture of the shadow of a gorgon. An alder branch with catkins. The photo has a gold star sticker and blue thread connecting it to a photo of mushrooms.

Mood board for "The Jinxed Pirate," the second novel of the fantasy series GRAYLANDS TOP ROW: - a large, fantasy city under dim, hazy, brown-orange skies - a sinister and evil looking black gauntlet MIDDLE ROW: - the hand of a buried alive person reaches from the ground - cover for "The Jinxed Pirate," depicting a black-bladed sword covered in blood and stuck in the ground. Around the sword, a medieval city is on fire - an old town in the desert BOTTOM ROW: - an arena where gladiators fight - a medieval city burns - an evil carnival under ugly, dark skies

Banner for M. Walsh's fantasy novel "The Jinxed Pirate" with the tagline, "Being dead inside isn't for everyone..." Also shows cover blurb: "Graylands is where people go when they don’t want to be found. "Within this unsettled country of drifters and outlaws is a city where the worst of the worst gather. A place of thieves, brigands, and murderers known as Seba. In Seba, law is an illusion and order is kept through cruelty and bloodshed. "On the run from Sentry Elite and bounty hunters, supposed pirate Krutch Leeroy finds himself in this bloody city where his infamous reputation garners him the attention of Seba’s various feuding powers. Despite his efforts to lay low, Krutch is soon caught in the center of backstabbing schemes and deadly plots. "Meanwhile, after the disaster on the Blind Cliffs, fallen princess Katrina Lamont finds herself nearing rock bottom. Her drinking and temper worse than ever, she sets out on a desperate quest to find what remains of her people. Her journey will also lead her to Seba, where she will tread the line between salvation and damnation. "Amidst this are the Synclaires—a family just moved to Graylands in the hope of a fresh start. However, chance of fate and rash decisions will draw the family into a sinister plot that threatens to bring tragedy and doom to their door. "As Krutch, Katrina, and the Synclaires face threats from all sides, they will each unwittingly find themselves caught in a battle that may destroy the delicate balance keeping Seba from consuming itself in chaos." The book cover and background image depicts a black-bladed sword covered in blood and stuck in the ground. Around the sword, a medieval city is on fire. Art by Anthony Jensen
