Something came across my mentions aboug #bujo with executive dysfunction. It got me thinking, and I've got nothing else to do at the moment, so I'm going to thread a bit.

This seems to be my day to share news about shitty things in hopes they can be stopped.

Rodney Reed is scheduled to be executed Nov 20th and the description reads like something out of To Kill a Mockingbird.

There's a bunch of stuff people can do to (hopefully) stop this, ranging from signing a petition, to calling officials, to participating in rallies (and probably more.)

Please do what you can

Spreading the word bc don't know what else I can do.

Bulgaria is taking steps that are straight out of the Nazi playbook for "a complete programme for a solution to the Gypsy problem.” (that's a quote from a high level government guy, not random neo-Nazi street thug).

Expansion of the 'expedited removal'. Any ICE agent can ask for proof of 2 year residency and if you can't prove it you can be deported, no hearing, no trial, no lawyer.

In theory, this only applies to immigrants, but of course if they refuse to believe you are a citizen and don't have a passport or birth certificate to hand, you may be up shit creek.

Watch out for each other folks.

"Papers, please."

I need to keep reminding myself that I can't help anyone else if I end up in the hospital or the morgue, that I've done what I can, that when I'm having trouble feeding myself it's okay to let other people fight the good fight and take care of me.

That it isn't on any of us as individuals, and if everyone is doing what they can, those us who need to step back can step back without harm, because others will be stepping up as we step back.

Morning all.

I'm feeling like shit today. And seeing posts and articles about ICE raids and slavery in the US prison system, and all the other shit going on just makes me feel worse because I feel like I should be doing something to stop that shit rather than focusing on myself.

I had a little epiphany yesterday regarding hobbies. See, I went to a yoga class in the zoo, then exchanged my mats for my DSLR camera and just floated around, taking pictures. I never go to the zoo without my kids, so it was a delicious treat. Just me and my camera. 1/

I'm looking for info on #accessibility for forums and chat rooms. Having trouble finding good info on google. If anyone has resources or is willing to answer some questions, please tag me.

Thanks!

I think one of my biggest challenges with making my #amwriting a priority is getting past scene breaks.

For some reason scene breaks just destroy my focus and concentration. I have at least half an hour more writing time and I'm unlikely to get more done, because the scene I was writing is finished and my brain has closed up shop...

Do any other writers have this problem?

I'm not old enough to remember the height of the AIDS epidemic, but I remember Matthew Sheppard. I was the only one in my family who didn't shit on Ellen Degeneres when she came out on national TV. And I'm a bloody history nerd. So what I didn't witness, I took the time to learn about.

So much of our history has been erased, whitewashed, and sanitized.

Including the origin and history of Pride.

So if you don't know the history, pull up a chair. Elder siblings gonna talk abit.
