Song of the Week

Haunted Like Human, “Growing Pains”

Hi. It’s Monday again.

I did manage to get the newsletter out yesterday, and everything seems to have worked properly. Thanks for your patience!

Not much else to report for this week. I’m working on some new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn, and they’ll be up Tuesday and Friday, as per usual.

Some petitions for today, because ye gods:

Via the Friends Committee on National Legislation: Pass the Iran War Powers Resolution

Via Jewish Voice for Peace: No war on Iran

Via Win Without War: Stop war on Iran

That’s what I’ve got. Take care and stop by again soon.

Song of the Week

Devon Gilfillian, “Troublemaker”

Good morning!

I have another event for this year’s calendar: Slay the Lake’s Pride Market! Saturday, June 27, at Soundgrowler Brewing Co. in Tinley Park, IL. I’m also on the waitlist for their Kenosha event this spring, but in any case, I’m looking forward to it.

The newsletter will be going out on Saturday, so if that’s something you’re interested in and you haven’t signed up yet, here’s the signup link again. Be sure to check your inbox for a confirmation when you’re done.

Other than that, I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn for you tomorrow and Friday. This chapter is long and depressing, but we’re moving through it, and then things will start looking up! Sometimes you have to make your characters miserable.

A couple of petitions for today:

Via the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights: Block the bombs, again

Via Demand Progress: Block ICE’s warehouse prison expansion

Via The Workers Circle: Protect Haitian Temporary Protected Status

That’s what I’ve got for you. Thanks for being here.

Song of the Week

Albert King, “Born Under a Bad Sign”

Good morning!

It looks like the first event on my calendar is the Kenosha Book Festival on April 26. I’ll have more information as we get closer!

Other than that, nothing much to report. I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn tomorrow and Friday.

I also have a couple of petitions for today:

Via the Native Organizers Alliance: Protect gender-affirming care

Via the National Campaign for Justice: Keep ICE out of schools

Via Just Foreign Policy: End the fuel blockade on Cuba

As always, I appreciate you being here. Take care this week, and stop by again soon.

Song of the Week

Miles Caton, “I Lied to You” (from Sinners)

It’s Monday again. Hi.

Not much to report for this week; I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn on Tuesday and Friday, so be sure to stop by again.

Also, if it’s something you might find useful, I typed up my notes from the ACLU’s ICE observer training and put them over here.

A couple of petitions:

Via Public School Strong: Keep ICE out of public schools

Via MPower Action: Free Leqaa Kordia

Via the Institute for Middle East Understanding: Stop delivering more weapons to Israel

I hope you’re staying safe and warm this week.

Song of the Week

Buffalo Nichols, “The Fatalist Blues”

Hello again!

So, I attended an ICE observer training call with the ACLU the other day. I typed up my notes and put them in the newsletter, and I’ll put them up here later this week when I have time, in case that’s something that might be useful to you. They’re having another call on February 5 as well.

In other news, I’ve got new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn for you, and they’ll be up on Tuesday and Friday. I’m enjoying this break from markets and things, especially now that it’s winter, but I’ll be getting back on the road soon! I’ll let you know.

Some petitions for today:

Via Watchdog.net: Restore UNRWA funding

Via National Campaign for Justice: Prohibit ICE raids on public schools

Via the Center for Human Needs: Not another dollar for ICE’s lawless attacks on our communities

Thanks for being here. Take care and stop by again soon!

Song of the Week

Wickerbird, “Riverborn”

Good morning. I hope you’re safe and warm today, and that the arc of the universe will bend toward justice, as the saying goes.

We’re starting a new chapter of Last Watch Before Dawn this week! New pages will go up Tuesday and Friday.

Petitions for this week:

Via Daily Kos: Pass the Dream Act

Via UNICEF USA: Support funding for UNICEF

Via The Swarm: Stop funding ICE

Via Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid: Report on what is really happening in Gaza and the West Bank

That’s all I’ve got for you today. Thanks for being here.

Song of the Week

Blanco White, “Samara”

Good morning!

I’ll use this song to remind you of a little Star Wars story I wrote about a character named Samara.

I’ll have another page of Last Watch Before Dawn for you tomorrow. This will conclude the second chapter, so on Friday, I’ll have some bonus art on Patreon. The next chapter will commence the following Tuesday.

Some petitions:

Via Just Foreign Policy: No war with Iran

Via AFT Activist: Keep ICE out of schools

Via the Friends Committee on National Legislation: No war on Venezuela

The eight-month sleep regression has hit the household (and me in particular), so my brain is currently made of pudding, but I love you and appreciate you. Take care of yourselves, and stop by again soon.

Song of the Week

Loreena McKennitt, “The English Ladye and the Knight”

It’s the first weekly song of the new year! Welcome back!

I’m still trucking along on Last Watch Before Dawn, so I’ll have another page up tomorrow and one more on Friday. We’re three pages away from the end of this chapter. This volume will have five chapters (we’re coming up on the end of the second one) and a total of about ninety pages.

A couple of petitions for today, because yelling at the people who do have the power to make the world marginally better is sometimes all we can do:

Via Civic Shout: Stop illegal war in Venezuela

Via Win Without War: Stop another forever war

Via the Friends Committee on National Legislation: No war with Venezuela

Okay. Thanks for reading, and take care of yourselves this week.
