The Maasai people of Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area are being evicted from their lands in the name of nature conservation - and @unesco.org is supporting it. No place where human rights abuses occur deserves the title of World Heritage Site. Act now! #humanrights #indigenous svlint.org/NCAB

Guarani leaders are being killed. Help us stop this! Gunmen are carrying out horrific, systematic, attacks against the Guarani. I’ve told the Brazilian President to give them back their lands – will you?

I‘m past 50k words now in #SlothDancer! Almost to the end. It’ll need lots of edits, but I’m finishing the first draft.

Also, take action here to help protect the Guaraní. act.survivalinternational.org/s/9215304/RZ...

Really beautiful tribute. #alexpretti #poetry #socialjustice

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

I reached 41k words in #SlothDancer today! My son actually decided to nap, which is helpful. I’m also into the more climactic scenes at the end of the book, so hopefully things continue to flow more easily.

I‘m up to 38.8k words in #SlothDancer! I got some good writing in today, which I am grateful for. I frequently have a hard time figuring out what a character is doing at the beginning of a scene.

I edited a chapter of #VeinsofRain for my writing group today, and wrote about a paragraph in #SlothDancer. Not a lot, but my goal right now is just to keep writing something in #SlothDancer every day.

I didn’t add much to my word count today, but I edited my outline, and I’m much happier with the ending of #SlothDancer now. I tend to try and lead up to one climactic scene, and I’m trying to lean more into a series of climactic events instead.

I‘m just a bit shy of 37k words on #SlothDancer. Another tough scene today. The main character just saw some of the horrors of imperialism/colonialism, and is processing that.

This one hit me hard. This is why we need to stop ICE. We have to do it, as the people in the US.
