#Authors. Anyone out there who write characters using sign language? Looking for tips on how to format dialogue for signing. Right now I have the dialogue in italics, but should I just use quotation marks? Ideas?

WELKER: Part of the outrage people are expressing is they feel like you're asking them to believe something they don't see. Is that was the administration is asking?

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

First, the post and replies are amazing.
Second, it's easy to tell someone who has never volunteered at the community-level because they say things like Naomi's screenshot.
Doing a grocery run is a given for pretty much any volunteer event around here. 🤷♀️And I know the US isn't that different.

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

"Don't edit as you go" and "First drafts are messy" screw that, I edit as I go and my first completed drafts are pretty polished.
They say not to do that because you'll never stop editing and you'll never finish a story, but I've published 5 so 🤷

All the traits that you have been taught to value and look for in special individuals - courage, intelligence, strength - are actually collective traits. There is no genius or hero coming to save us from our problems. We solve them together or not at all. Socialism or barbarism.
I have never witnessed such a spiderweb of collective action, just average everyday people showing up. Not the heroism we’ve been sold by the movies but collective heroism, a fabric of care and resistance to fascism.

The killings will continue until you give us the state voter rolls
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Breaking: ICE is now reportedly following white people on grocery runs in Minnesota, suspecting they're delivering food to neighbors too afraid to leave their homes.
Neighborhood instructions:
Don't put the address in your phone.
Don't use GPS.
Write it on paper.
And if you get stopped, eat it.

In a successfully atomized society, everyone distrusts their family, their neighbors, social bonds are weak, etc. People are proving the exact opposite en masse, and that was supposed to have been unthinkable. Anything that contributes to that is important.
