Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
Here’s video of the incident

This is on the street OUTSIDE of the Ice building, it's city property. The agent should be charged with assault.
Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

I’m pretty sure I get as excited about my agent’s reactions to my oddball, girly, grisly little pitches as I do about actually writing the dang books. 😂

Anywho, my next adult horror WIP is green lit… here we gooooo! 💗💞💓

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

It is not an exaggeration, friend. He did it with his own hands, and a smile on his face. Look at it full on. This man is not a hero. You can acknowledge his usefulness, and be honest about his dangerousness and moral failure. Goodbye. bsky.app/profile/wolv...

A thread of BIPOC-owned, ethically sourced, craft chocolate makers. This in not a complete list, but just ones I've personally enjoyed and are fairly transparent about their cacao sources and fair payment to farmers.

More will be added as I go.

UNDEAD GIRL GANG x BRING HER BACK

When Parker's family ink magic predicts her best friend's death, there's only one option—cast a forbidden spell to resurrect her. But an ink demon lurks and one wrong step in the spell will damn both their souls to an inky hell forever.

ADDIE LARUE x VELVET WAS THE NIGHT

A hopeless romantic drags a grumpy college student with her to chase after an urban legend, and the rest is…

A nightmare of scary men and shady gangs and bloodthirsty vampires. Well, this certainly isn’t the romcom she had in mind.
