Whoops a lot of ""neutral"" special collections are antifascist now (of course that's what this government already thinks...)
"As prosecutors laid out in the July criminal complaint that led to the indictment, they were zines and pamphlets." So...carrying zines is evidence of being in an antifa cell. I mean, anyone decent is antifascist, and if you're working with others to fight fascism, you're kind of a hero.

Trump’s next target for destruction is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. I can only imagine what sort of white trash gold coated monstrosity Trump will replace the Reflecting Pool with. #ProudBlue

He said he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. He said he was going to put “America first.” He said he would be a peacemaker. What is true is that Trump has turned over American diplomacy to a billionaire Manhattan real estate mogul.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Maybe we didn't yet get that agent / sell a book.
But we got that push (good / bad) which drew our attention to our talents or which drove us to defy naysayers.

A few things have been buzzing around in my brain lately about how we become writers / creators / story professionals of any kind. So much seems to be down to a matrix of connections - not only professionally but creatively.
