sad to announce i've been kicked out of my seafaring writing group for suggesting we stop using the word "tempestuous", i'd tell you what the vibes were like but i'm a strong believer in not being a hypocrite

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

oh good it's another absolutely terrifying development we'll all be asked to ignore and continue on as though the gestapo aren't gunning down people in the streets
The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."
The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

This went off to print yesterday. If you're seeing me at GAMA or Adepticon, copies are free, just ask me, unless I'm already in the process of handing you one, which is also very likely.
So, @kaylacline.com and I have been working on the second edition of something since we met at GAMA last year. Heading to a printer soon, and a digital format after that with new art and an overhauled ruleset. Get ready to unionize some fucking goblins.

in fact the only time afaik an ICE agent has been definitively doxed within the USA was when the DHS did it themselves
OK, first, the criminal record of a drug cartel is a bit better established than a random Minneapolis resident.
Second, not only has this DVD scenario never occurred with ICE — and I’m a broken record here! — there’s no record of any agent being doxed and attacked.

RON JOHNSON: In Central America, if you become a police chief, the drug cartels send you a DVD w/ a video of your family going to church or school...that's what ICE agents are facing
SORKIN: But these people are allowed to protest
J: They want their activists to dox them & put families at risk

It has certainly been baffling to see Rascal's owners tout that it took six writers six months to complete their Yazeba's article only to turn around and say they were unaware I was a contractor. I'm credited as the book's cocreator and PCG's website "About" page lists all three of their employees.
It's important to note that one of the things Rascal did to market the piece was talk about how long they spent working on it, despite not reaching out to key people, properly fact checking claims, or structuring damning quotes within proper context. Why would anyone trust them after this?
Chase Taylor-Carter contacted me this morning to rectify Rascal's oversight. While I would have gladly given statements or an interview prior to the story's publication, the article that went to print left me uncertain that any information I gave would be taken in good faith, so I declined.
