I need to re-read it. I have the issue of Twilight Zone Magazine where I think it first appeared and was actually looking at that anew this weekend for a Robert Bloch interview.

They say you only need one person to fall in love with your novel, but ideally that person is an acquisitions editor.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation

According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

Some days you read comments on a friend’s post in which he called for compassion, and you just have to go:

I was reading about a class they teach kids 6 to 16 in Denmark. It’s called Klassens tid. I think that translates to don’t be an asshole when you’re an adult.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this: Try.

So I generally implied on FB I was favorable to the First Amendment, and this comment was apparently posted and then maybe deleted, but one way or another it showed up in my notifications.
