What Happened to the Black Women Trump Purged From the Federal Work Force?

Over a year later, they are struggling to find financial footing and make sense of the racist backlash that displaced them.

Please stop ‼️

Prices have risen dramatically, even food and medicine💔

Everything is very expensive, I’m still sick and I need food and medicine to continue treatment and recovery😢

The situation is very difficult, and any help - even if it is simple can make a big difference😔🙏🏻

The other one that's hard is physical fight scenes, especially if they involve more than two people.

#WritersCoffeeClub March 17. What's an experience or sensation you've struggled to convey to a reader?

This is a very embarrassing thing for a horror writer to admit... but it's often been the sensation of fear.

The way we experience it on physical level is actually quite specific and limited. It's a hard thing to convey in an original way.

#WritersCoffeeClub March 17. What's an experience or sensation you've struggled to convey to a reader?

The sense of war and revolution being more grindingly boring than anything else. It's not so much that I struggle to portray it but it's a hard thing to make interesting.

#InternationalWomensDay
Since the start of the genocide, more than 12,000 women have been martyred in the Gaza Strip.
International Women's Day witnessed a tragic reality for women in the Gaza Strip and Palestine, where women live amidst bombing, displacement, and destruction after two years of the occupation's aggression.

I need to complete the amount required by my university so I can finish the remaining year and a half and graduate.

I also have to begin clinical training on patients, and all the costs will be paid by me.❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

#WritersCoffeeClub March 6: Is there a local writing community near you?

There almost certainly is - Croydon is one of the biggest London boroughs. But I've kind of got comfortable with my online writing group, which spans Europe and the Americas, lol.

Part of the problem is that it's difficult for me to attend in-person events because of childcare issues.

My name is Mohamed Shamia
My family remains in Gaza, facing siege and hunger every single day. I carry their pain with me, and it breaks my heart knowing how little I can do from afar.

Even a simple iftar has become a struggle — something that should be ordinary now feels out of reach.

Your donation, can make a real difference. It can put iftar on the table, bring warmth to their home.

Your kindness means more than words can express.
