CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

But we, insofar as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the leaf and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance.

HEY APub AUTHORS!!!

Amazon has put up a form where they (non legal terminology) sign over their half of any anthropic settlement money to you. Obvs I can not give anyone legal advice, but check this out. This could give you 2x the money.

Polished the manuscript of my debut novel, Every Breath, at a Writers Victoria workshop.

Met my first publisher (and editor) at a Writers Victoria panel discussion.

I wouldn't have what is now a decade+ author career without my state writers org, now defunded.

Writers Victoria has been defunded – but writers’ centres are ‘fundamental’ to literary culture
Authors Hannah Kent and Toni Jordan got their start through writers centre initiatives. If Victoria loses its centre, it will be the only mainland state without one.

If my loved ones don't wake me, and tell me it's happened, so we can hug each other in excitement and relief before drinking a bevvy, then I will be deeply disappointed.

Loved ones, take note!
Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives.

Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

Think about it: someone will be the very first person to open their bottle of champagne when it happens.

One person, out of 8.3 billion, is walking around right now not knowing that they will be the very first person on earth to pop the cork when it happens.

I'm not in Minneapolis (nor am I in America, in fact), but this is a really good article by @scottmeslow.bsky.social about conditions on the ground and how local people are organising and coping 👇
Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis
But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

It has been 5 days since my last promotional post, and thus, I post again...

My book about an amnesiac serial killer releases soon, which is exciting! If you like the idea of "Dexter meets The Bourne Identity in seedy 1987 NYC" you're very welcome to preorder:
