If the agent fails to provide one, the state law-enforcement officer could say: "Since you are apparently not working for the federal government and have no arrest warrant for this person, I have to assume you are a common criminal trying to kidnap someone. Kidnapping is a state crime. You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, etc." Then the ICE agent is handcuffed, taken away and charged with kidnapping. ICE agents who break down doors to gain entry to buildings and can't prove they are federal agents following lawful orders could be arrested for burglary or breaking and entering under state laws. Having states aggressively enforce their own laws against individual agents and doing their best to not have them released on bail changes the incentive structure for wanting to work for ICE. How many headlines do there have to be saying: "ICE agent arrested for kidnapping and held without bail" before many agents start looking for other jobs?</blockquote>The whole article on how to defeat <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/blackmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blackmail</a> is excellent.

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordWeavers</a> 2025.09.30 — What author, from any time, would you want as a mentor?Two. So sue me. 😝 Sadly, they're dead people. 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️<ol><li>Andre Norton — Though our writing styles are different, mine active voice and hers passive voice, I loved her stories, characters, and poetic rhythm. I could have learned a lot from her, and I would have loved to learn about her persistence and choices writing under an oppositely gendered pen name. When I joined SFWA, she still lived and I missed an opportunity to meet her when the Nebulas were local (as I recollect) because of my crippling shyness, to my everlasting regret.</li><li>Charles Dickens – I love the long flowing sheer audacious verbosity of his books, especially in how he could thoroughly describe a scene and draw you through it as through a dream. His stories are classic for many reasons; he was a pop star celebrity in his day, traveling repeatedly to America (though he didn't enjoy being on the road). While I must avoid rereading his books—because I start writing like him when I do—I could have learned one essential thing from him: How to produce on demand, consistently. He wrote serial fiction, published in weekly newspapers. He had no choice but to produce consistently!</li></ol>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BoostingIsSharing</a><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gender</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writers</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSdiscussion</a>

Material posted online. I wrote a prequel, then realized I had some unfortunate discrepancies that prevented me from writing a proper sequel to the original novella that was the fork in the road for the MC. As currently written, the MC would have become evil. For all the good she did, she was designed as a study in how good people can become evil. I did correct the discrepancies in the original story so what is posted on line is subtlety different than the original version. I also I created an "Enhanced and Augmented" version of the original novella with the fixed the discrepancies, but instead letting the MC put the main series antagonist out of commission for half a day, the antagonist is instead able to mount a dragnet to catch the MC. This leads to some epic battles, the return of prequel characters, the elevation of a side character to an important supporting character (a character similar to Bolt in my current WiP), the genesis of a romance subplot for the sequel, and the MC learning to trust relationships. This delayed her turning evil, at least enough to get her through the sequel I subsequently wrote.[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BoostingIsSharing</a><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gender</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> #<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mystery</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thriller</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writers</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSdiscussion</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSstory</a>

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 2025.09.22 — Do you feel you have a good eye for composing photos?Here's a tip. Unless you are using film (and if so, why?), capture multiple images of anything that catches your eye, framing from different angles to the sides or in front—taking the subject from a high vantage over your head and a low vantage at you knees or lying on the ground level, as well as eye level—at different zooms, even walking behind the subject or backlighting for the glare of the sun, or over and under exposing, trying different framings, even using too slow a shutter speed to blur action or fake it. Don't hesitate; if you see something, instantly shoot. Unprinted digital photos cost you nothing except time. Professionals will tell you 10 or 20 frames might not be sufficient. National Geographic photographers might have gotten 3 to 5 images published in a spread, but would have taken dozens and dozens and dozens of rolls of 36 frames to get those few publishable shots. Beyond that, even your iPhone takes higher resolution photos than typical film stock was able to, which means whatever digital device you wield today, you also have plenty of pixels to crop to find that good composition. Shoot in RAW if you can and buy bigger faster memory cards (but check what you camera can use) to support this. RAW gives you extra resolution versus compressed JPEG, and the digital negative can even be "developed" again when the technology improves to save the photos that were missing that je ne sais quoi, making you want to cry.Personally, I think I have a good eye for composing through the lens, less so when I don't raise the camera, and I often but not always walk away with a good photo. Post-processing, easily available immediately if you use an iPhone, can save that iffy photo, or turn a wrong composition into a pleasant one at slightly lower resolution. You need surprising few pixels to print at 8x10. 24x36 requires more care.This isn't to say you shouldn't carefully compose and expose, like Ansel Adams did, but do any of us have the patience to get it right in the camera?[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BoostingIsSharing</a><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gender</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> chef cooking <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writers</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSdiscussion</a>

But with the larger MAGA movement pushing traditional gender roles, there can be little doubt that women will be the ones expected to handle the new influx of responsibilities pushed on them by the MAHA [Make America Healthy Again] culture. It’s women who would be expected to give up pouring a child a bowl of cereal in favor of making bread from scratch [due to branding pasteurization bad for health]. It’s women who would be tasked with staying home with kids who have measles. And if those children were to die, women would be blamed for supposedly not feeding them enough homegrown organic foods.The movement’s preoccupation with shaming women is evident in the fertility section of the MAHA strategy document. A call to “address the root causes of infertility” sounds innocuous enough. In reality, this phrase is MAHA code for shaming women who use birth control. As I reported last month, various MAHA groups have become fixated on the lie that the birth control pill is the cause of infertility. Means has made the podcast rounds, blaming birth control for infertility. Alex Clark, who was hired by Charlie Kirk to be Turning Point USA’s “wellness” influencer, has also argued that women suffering infertility brought it on themselves by previous birth control use.It’s all a lie — but the strategy fits into the larger moralism that fuels the MAHA movement and is centered around this notion that modern life has made women “impure” and children’s health problems are a direct result. Having sex for pleasure is the main source of this alleged “impurity,” …</blockquote>The full Salon piece By AMANDA MARCOTTE is worth reading and boosting.<a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/09/22/rfk-jrs-war-on-vaccines-is-about-shaming-women-not-helping-kids/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user%2FSalon" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.salon.com/2025/09/22/rfk-jrs-war-on-vaccines-is-about-shaming-women-not-helping-kids/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user%2FSalon</a><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BoostingIsSharing</a><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Feminist</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sexist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sexist</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sexism</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Feminism</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Medicine</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vaccines</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/vaccine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vaccine</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vaccination</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Maga</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Maha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Maha</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/rfkjr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rfkjr</a>

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordWeavers</a> 2025.09.20 — How does society think about nature and its protection?In the Reluctance Series, this is practically subliminal since there is no need to make a point of it in the story. It is like an easter egg. There is no plastic. There is no fossil fuel (or electricity or the need for it), though sometimes they do burn wood. Those things that are "disposable" are wood, glass, metal, and ceramic. Produce and beverages come in bulk and people bring things to carry it away, or it is tinned or in glass bottles. Water is kept in metal flasks. Everything is recycled. There are many open wild areas, half of them because a certain type of human protects these areas. That set of stories hasn't been written, yet, but the rest of humanity skirts those areas and various MC's mention it's dangerous. I'll mention animals as they become important to stories.Despite this, they live in a modern interstellar civilization.
