Scary Austin
@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social
The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️

Protest Thread #111: Gangnam Style at ICE!
Oh man, for an #ICE protest, this was a fun one. The bridge trolls joined several other groups for a loud, raucous event lining a busy street near the ICE concentration camp. There were older white women, some with pom poms. There were young leftists, many in black bloc. And then there was us in our goofy costumes, dancing around to loud music, which included "Gangnam Style" at one point.
