The US has sanctioned six ICC judges this year, along with the court’s chief prosecutor and two deputy prosecutors.
Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?
‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life
Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

In 2024 I outlined the hardships indie game devs are having and how Black indies are an astronomically small percentage of the greater pie. This funding squeeze is not helping alleviate that.
I also shared 2024 games worth supporting. Thread is linked.

Funding for indie games is becoming more like a Battle Royale, with dev teams/games that can’t get to the middle of an arbitrary ring getting merced left & right.
It sucks.
It extra sucks as a #Blackgamedev since the last few years have seen some forward progress, now halted.

so many of just the ferguson protestors have been literally lynched and murdered and y'all DON'T EVEN MENTION THEM NO MORE it's crazy
I’ve said it and I believe it is true
There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

This is part of why I think it's pivotally important to go out of your way to enjoy art by marginalized creators. It's not just harder to break in; it's an upward battle to even *make* things when you're constantly under stress. There are SO many stories going untold bc of this so savor what exists.
A reminder that the key to writing is getting the very best out of your brain, but in order to get the best out of it you have to take care of your mental health. Stress, concern, and depression will take a toll on your work. So always make sure to take care of YOU and you'll get your best work.
