The delay comes in response to hundreds of voters being turned away for going to the wrong locations.

Poems like β€œEmbattled With the Muses”, β€œBlank Page”, and β€œTrust the Journey” provide an honest look at the creative process and the brave souls who choose to engage it with joy, pain, frustration, triumph, love, and their being.

Never has it been more imperative that the writer uses their words to tell stories, speak truth to power, and share their creativity and humanity with the world.

This book, β€œI Write to Breathe” will inspire you to fall back in love with words and get back into those pages.

Take your time. As a writer, I do understand this greatly. Especially when you lose your notes/outline.

Just know when you are ready to come back, I will excitedly be waiting.

'COWARDS! COWARDS! COWARDS!': Los Angeles Votes Down A Policy To Protect People From ICE Immigrant workers in Los Angeles face an impossible choice: Go to work and risk being snatched up by ICE, or stay home and risk eviction.

ICE raids have forced many immigrant workers in LA to make a horrific decision: go to work and risk arrest or stay home and risk eviction β€” which can force people to leave the U.S.

LA officials say they oppose ICE but they've refused to pass eviction protections www.huffpost.com/entry/los-an...

After considerable soul-searching, I feel compelled to withdraw from the BAFTA emerging talent judging panel. The organisation's handling of the unfortunate Tourette's N-Word incident last night at the awards was utterly unforgivable. I cannot and will not contribute my time energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community. This is particularly unfortunate given that this year's cohort boasts some incredible Black talent, especially one of my favourite shows of 2025 "Just Act Normal". However, when an organisation like BAFTA, with its own long history of systemic racism, refuses to acknowledge the harm inflicted on both the Black and disabled communities and offer an appropriate apology, remaining involved would be tantamount to condoning its behaviour. I hope BAFTA leadership comprehend the damage they and the BBC have caused and take the necessary steps to ensure their production staff are inclusive enough to prevent such an issue in the future.
Yours sincerely, Jonte Richardson

For more than 153 years, The Boston Globe has printed a daily newspaper despite tech issues, pandemics or weather

But in an unprecedented decision, "executives determined that the conditions during Monday’s blizzard made it impossible to print and deliver a paper Tuesday morning"
