Hi! I'm Aubrey!

I write literate, pulpy fantasy novels with queer, neurodivergent characters and anarchist vibes.

IDLE HANDS is neo-noir about rage, pride, and the Devil in Philadelphia.

THE LIVING SEA is a hopepunk serial about adventure, love, and stealing polar ice from towering demons.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...
For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

They also host "work therapy" programs for people with disabilities because they can legally pay them less than minimum wage by claiming it's helping them not be a "drag on society".

All while they sell inventory they didn't pay and don't pay any taxes to further enrich their "charity" management.

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

The bar is about to go from “my distant white relatives enabled slavery but I would never” to…..”I sat back and watched Latinos get kidnapped and put into slavery despite having the power to stop it”.

video of people being snatched by ICE at a laundromat shows an intersection between housing and immigration enforcement. if your unit and building don't have (working, available) laundry, that's one more errand where you have to spend significant time in potentially vulnerable public space

This should be a bare minimum for every Democrat candidate.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

So you're telling me it's not possible to find a good democrat?

Just ruined like 25% of my skin and 100% of my favorite t-shirt (an old John Brown print) with the horrible fiberglass-like defense irritant from an absolute cunt bastard shit of a plant in overgrown garden. Hit it, and it just exploded in this shit.

I'm so itchy.

Pray for me or euthanize me.🃏

I fear that in the debate over protesting Harris we will lose the fact that the person most responsible for the genocide in Occupied Palestine is Joe Biden.

The man is not an uwu smol bean grandpa. He attacked Anita Hill and helped put Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS.

The niche of my law practice is representing women, minorities and whistleblowers in vindicating their civil rights in employment.

Having done this work for years now, I have come to understand something that I feel like sharing this morning:

White supremacy is racism. Segregationism is racism. And importantly, the desire to maintain and preserve economic, social, educational, religious and other institutions that are permeated with racism is most definitely RACISM!

It would be interesting for someone to run for US president on the platform of firing every one hired to work for ICE over the past 4 years. Firing all of them on day 1.

In retrospect, I should have known TRON wasn't a beloved classic based on the lackluster response I get to using "greetings, program!" as a gender-neutral hello.

Anyone know who is working on countering ICE recruitment of people of color? I'm wondering if there's a current issue campaign focused on this that has also enlisted artists and cultural workers.

I yearn for a future in 20-30 years when the iD Software Co-Op releases their newest ahistorical VR splatterfest with a very thinly veiled Che Guevara pastiche who escapes Alligator Alcatraz and graphically blasts wave after wave of red-hatted goons in amazon tactical fits.

It's rated T for Teen.

Same. I've tried it their way for too long, and it didn't get better. They didn't get better. They got worse. They're out of touch and are institutionally unable to rise to the moment when we need them most. And they use their power to try to stop those who are willing to fight for the people.

I'm not voting for the lesser evil again. I'm not voting harm reduction again. And I'm saying that *because* I'm someone in multiple marginalized demographics already targeted by the regime.

I'll let your useless sellout party burn to the ground if you can't produce someone GOOD to vote for.

So you join up like "I need a job, and that signing bonus would literally fix my life, and illegal immigrants really should have come in legally, and I'll be more gentle than the assholes, so I can do this," and then you stay because after a couple snatch and grabs, you can only relate to the group.
