I’m horrified by the apparently or possibly Islamic terrorist attack on the great American city of New Orleans. Last year, founding editor Jonathan Penton’s publication in New Orleans (@USdotorg) published my story about a boy who chooses to become a terrorist. I knew when I wrote “Egoless” that this is a tale which is true to life, which I hope to help stop with my short story. May reading “Egoless” let the individual think twice about why the innocent turn to terrorism: unlikelystories.org/content/…

As the newly elected president prepares a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, war is the theme of two new stories—analysis of 1930’s Oscar-winning Best Picture and a short story about what makes a boy choose to become a terrorist—featured at the top of Unlikely Stories.

"As shocked and stunned as I was, there was no way I was going to let him say that to me, unchallenged."
My response to the racism & incitement on Monday, to a CNN pro-Trump panelist telling me: “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off," because I said I supported Palestinian rights.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we elect a president who won’t actively try to kill us, we could have a pretty good time

They asked a million Americans if they’re better off than they were four years ago, but they couldn’t answer because they died from a hoax called Covid.

As a true American patriot, I hate the United States and get most of my information from Russian videos posted on a site owned by South African.

You’ll notice that American state media refuse to mention that MAGA republicans are actively trying to cripple and sabotage FEMA as well as Hurricane relief/recovery efforts in order to use as propaganda against Democrats. There’s nothing pro-life or patriotic about it.

My short story “Midnight Oil” has been accepted for publication with Unlikely Stories @USdotorg !! I had so much hope for this piece, as it’s quite near and dear to me, and went through several workshops. It should be out in the world by the end of the month 🫶🏻
