Talked to someone I know who is at risk of being scooped up by ICE. They have deliberately made online friends with people in the countries they are most likely to be deported to, and they wear a tracker when they’re out so that their roommate will know if they are taken somewhere.

We was framed! With @marcocarocari.bsky.social

A seven year old me saw this at the drive-in and 57 year old me still watches it multiple times a year.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

It me! My face is huge! My story is weird (and I hope) wonderful!

My talk with @obrackenbury.bsky.social is up! I discovered his podcast SO I'M WRITING A NOVEL in mid/late 2024, where I was properly introduced to what what makes S&S fiction so cool. I was excited/happy to get to speak with him about all things S&S and @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social!
