Recuperating on the sofa after a busy flash-filled weekend & sending off some new words into the universe. 'Cosmic Chronicler' feels very appropos, cause you can't spell chronicler without chronic [illness]! 💃 #WelkinWritingPrize @welkinprize.bsky.social

Summer's okay and all, but I do love that crisp cold of a sunny day this time of year

(not pictured: my enormous blanket of a jacket and scarf wound up to my eyeballs, I'm not a masochist)

There is more information in her Dad's public Facebook post (screenshots of relevant excerpt + full post attached)

Screenshot of an excerpt of a public Facebook post by Paul Burke, Becky Burke's father, which reads: "On February 26th, Becky attempted to cross the Canadian border for the next leg of her journey. Unfortunately, due to an incorrect visa, she was denied entry into Canada. When she tried to return to the US, she was refused re-entry and classified as an "illegal alien." Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington." Screenshot of a public Facebook post by Paul Burke, Becky Burke's father, which reads: "Urgent Appeal: Help Bring Becky Home Our daughter Becky, a 28-year-old British tourist, has been caught up in the recent immigration crackdown in the US. What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare. Becky has now been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. On February 26th, Becky attempted to cross the Canadian border for the next leg of her journey. Unfortunately, due to an incorrect visa, she was denied entry into Canada. When she tried to return to the US, she was refused re-entry and classified as an "illegal alien." Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. Becky's current conditions are deeply concerning. She is sharing a cell, surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans (she is vegan), and has limited access to phone calls. Visitors are restricted to speaking through a glass screen via telephone. All her possessions have been confiscated, and she feels isolated and desperate to come home. We are doing everything we can. Our local MP has contacted David Lammy's office, and we are in touch with the British Consulate in London and San Francisco. An American friend is helping by sending funds to her inmate account so she can buy basic necessities like tea and milk. However, progress has been slow, and we urgently need more support. We are asking for your help. Please share Becky's story widely through your networks. We hope to connect with experts, legal professionals, or anyone who can offer advice or assistance. Becky is a kind, adventurous young woman who simply wants to return home to her family. Thank you for your support."
