Introduction post time! I’m Jonny Eberle, I write speculative and historical fiction, I like vintage typewriters, I have two podcasts (one fiction and one about the creative process, with more in the works), I bake bread, and I’m a recovering political science major.

There's always a Jean-Luc quote for current events, isn’t there.
Jean-Luc Picard, as played by Sir Patrick Stewart, taking on a Starfleet Admiral over the planned forced removal of the colonists on the planet Ba'ku. The quote reads "How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million? How many people DOES IT TAKE, Admiral?"

There are a lot of horrifying images coming out of Minnesota, but this photo of a 5-year-old being detained by ICE will be forever seared into my mind. Federal agents are quite literally abducting children in broad daylight. Abolish ICE.

I've seen a few posts about food banks/pantries and complaining about what they serve. "Expired" foods. Dented cans. Gum. Spoiled produce. Weird food. I've worked as a volunteer at a local food pantry that is affiliated with our regional food bank. Here are some thoughts (and facts). 1/10
