Writing is inherently the act of defying imposed silence. It is a type of anarchy. This is true for ALL creators in their creative process. Doing something, making something, imagining something are all counter to living in a null state of mind. Be proactive.

I wrote a piece on Good’s shooting and the preconceived good/evil gun logic narrative that seems to have driven it. Looking for a home for it?

@maklelan.bsky.social is great at explaining biblical inconsistencies in a way that pulls no punches without being condescending to believers. It’s a skill we could all brush up on.

Your short story should rise toward a peak and then LAND and finish. It's a one arc story most of the time. The problem should be easy for a reader to understand and empathize with. Keep it interesting. In general, love affairs are not that interesting.

Maybe we need to spend more time calling out the leaders of the Democrat Party who’ve been half-assing the resistance since 2016.
Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.
Say bad things are bad.

When you try to smear a shooting victim’s life that’s called Jesse-ing the Watters.
Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

So-called “DEI” is the whole point. They are awkwardly trying to save a dying system of white (male) supremacy and it won’t work—even if it makes us all miserable for a while. We are already too diverse. Oppressed people already demand equity. Inclusion is already happening via love & life itself.

Could ICE act the way they do without guns on them at all times? No. They could not. This is where liberal gun laws have brought us. The “good guys” line was always a lie, was always about power, was always about whiteness.
