AWOO: Chapter One
AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings
open.substack.com
A reminder that my debut werewolf novel "AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings" may be behind the paywall, but Chapter 1 will always be free so you can get a taste of the mad weirdness of the thing. Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/writesin...
I shouldn’t agree with Bill Kristol on anything, but here we are.
I contend that ICE agents may be selected *specifically because* they like guns, are racists, lack common humanity, & enjoy issuing brutality.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

How can you help Minnesotans right now?
Call your goddamn Dem Senator and tell them you will never vote for them again if they do not shut the government down over this.
If you have a republican, call them and call them fucking cowards.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

It would sure be nice to have an effective opposition party who could raise a stink in Congress right now. Or anyone in the fucking building with a god damned soul.

Little old fuzzy guy Franklin Bonesevelt snoozing in my office while I play a Star Trek Adventures 2e TTRPG game online with my husband and friends. We normally play in person but the snow has made that a treacherous proposition.

Snowmageddon seems to be turning into just a Snowmehgeddon. We got about 3 inches overnight, and now we're forecast to get just a few more today. We can deal with those numbers.

I don’t know what any of this is about but it’s adorable
All the discourse in the world won’t change the fact that Americans of all ages got to see two guys kissing on the ice, on the big screen, and the crowd response was cheering.
As someone who lost people in the 90s to AIDS, shame and hate, I can’t put the words together to explain how that feels.

Tens of thousands gathered today in the northern Israeli city of Sakhnin to protest the government's criminal negligence of Arab society, which has led to a historically-high murder rate among Israel's Palestinian citizens. We stand with the protestors in support of their strike and mass action ✊.

Tonight's Starfleet Academy was Starship Troopers x Harry Potter, presented by the CW.
But I didn't hate it. I liked a lot of it, actually. Some great lines that made me bust out laughing.

I tried again, but my arms just slipped through. That damn machine. And now I couldn't even touch it to fix it. I stared at thousands, lined up behind me, staring without blinking, smiling with those big, vacant mouths, arms outstretched, but I couldn't even tell them why. #horrorwriterschat

I suppose international squirrel day isn't great for my werewolves, but only because they'd end up having to chase the little bastards everywhere, assuming it's a full moon and some plot things from AWOO haven't happened yet. #horrorwriterschat

Wha.....?
It wasn't the squirrels who started it, but once they got involved, it ended quickly. All of it. And here I am, wielding a golf club, backed up against a tree, surrounded by the little bastards with their blood-soaked faces and razor fangs. #horrorwriterschat

Hey all - I'm late this week! I'm E. D. Jones, and I write cosmic and weird horror, along with sci-fi and weird fiction and urban fantasy and other stuff.
My favorite international day hasn't happened yet, and requires a thing to happen, because that'll end a global nightmare. #horrorwriterschat

For me this is the most important. Who are we, really?
Let's spill the beans. Or the squirrels. Or even the granola.
