Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet — her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old
This regime has been defined by the endless tragedies it’s caused — we owe it to the victims to fight for the accountability they 💯 percent deserve

Sometimes I really think I have undiagnosed ADHD, like how I'm dealing with trauma by screwing around with my LinkedIn, a new author website, and a FB author page at 1:40 in the morning.

I absolutely love this solidarity! I have been heartbroken over administrative changes at IU, particularly the dismantling of their foreign language programs.
Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...
Purdue student journalists deliver special 'solidarity' newspaper to IU Bloomington campus
The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.
