My short story PLAYING DEAD was longlisted by the Mslexia 2024 Short Story competition. I have luffed Mslexia for years. So thrilled, I might pass out. #amwriting
Safe travels, Aloka! I’ll miss seeing you and your family every day. ❤️❤️❤️☮️🕊️ #aloka

I agree. Hopeless rn = inaction. But Americans are speaking up, protesting, fighting for our rights. Positive action is all around us.
LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

Definitely what I’m thinking 24/7.
It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

I have no respect for anyone that showed up for the Golden Globes awards on compromised CBS while MN and our entire country is under attack by fascist goons. Shame on all of you.

MURDER!!!
Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Dinner at San Ysidro Ranch for my sister’s big bday. Enchanting evening. Didn’t realize JFK and Jackie honeymooned there. Also Olivier and Vivian Leigh and so many others. Love how dinner guests are encouraged to wander grounds b4 being seated. Also, my sister’s cosmo glowed.
