"Private Notary" by Samuel M. Moss is now free to read! I hesitate to assign genre labels to most stories, but "Private Notary" very much makes me think about the description of the New Weird as subverting cliches of the fantastic in order to put them to discomforting, rather than consoling ends.

Someone called ICE on this sweet family who was running a Kebab restaurant. They have had a case open with with USCIS since 2016. They would feed the homeless, people with disabilities, and people who just couldn’t afford to pay them. There is a GFM to offer support for legal fees and lost income.
I’ve been asked by the Emanet family to set up a GoFundMe to help cover legal fees and support income while Jersey Kebab remains closed.

During the morning hours of Tuesday, February 25, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrantlessly picked up members of the Emanet family, Celal and Emine Emanet, from Jersey Kebab, located at 150 Haddon Avenue, Haddon Township, NJ 08108.

The Emanet family has an open case with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and has been waiting since 2016 for a decision on their case. USCIS has not decided whether to approve or deny their green card application for the past 9 years. While waiting for their case to be decided upon, Celal and Emine Emanet were left without a status.

They are contributing members of society and taxpayers with a five-year valid business license. Celal and Emine own and operate Jersey Kebab, a beloved Mediterranean restaurant across from the Haddon Township Municipality and Police building. The husband-and-wife pair own and manage the restaurant together, a hub for the community, and regularly feed underprivilegedmembers of the community - the sign on the door stating, “Free to anyone with a disability, homeless, or simply cannot afford it.” The couple start prep work together at 9 am and close up shop at 8:30 pm.

At the end of the night, Celal and Emine come back home where they live with their four children (Muhammed, Zeynep, Hamza, Hale), daughter-in-law (Hale), two grandchildren (Ali and Omer), and two cats (Oreo and Almond). Muhammed (25), the manager at Jersey Kebab, who attended Rutgers-Camden, is a husband and father to two children. Zeynep (23) is a Swarthmore College graduate and works at a local civil rights nonprofit organization. Their younger son, Hamza (15), and younger daughter, Hale (13), cannot imagine life without mom and dad together.

While Celal has been released from custody with an ankle monitor, Emine has been placed into the Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, awaiting her bond trial. This situation is especially devastating for their 15-year-old son, Hamza, who has autism.

Deporting Emine would cause Hamza immense distress, as he only speaks limited Turkish and relies on the specialized services available to himhere in New Jersey. Uprooting him from this support system would have severe consequences for his well-being.

Emine is not a flight risk - she is a mother, community member, and neighbor. Neither Celal nor Emine have criminal records or prior orders of removal by an immigration judge. She needs to be released on bond so she can return home. Until she is released, the restaurant, which is their main source of income, is closed. So please help out any way you can.A sign in the restaurant window of a Kebab restaurant reads “To Anybody with a Disability or Homeless or Simply Cannot Afford”

ICYMI! Space Unicorns! Behold the Galen Dara cover and Table of Contents of Uncanny Magazine Issue 63!!! buff.ly/3D3g5S9
Cover for Issue 63 of Uncanny Magazine, art by Galen Dara titled "Blessed Universe." The central figure wears purple and silver priestly robes with a bright sun-like circle in the center of their chest. Splashes of dark purple criss-cross across the robes. They have their hands outstretched palm up, a glowing spot on each emits white vapor-like smoke. The figure appears to have dark purple tears streaming from their eyes flowing down their chin and neck. Their hair appears as a dark purple halo with planet-like spheres within, and more vapors trail upwards. They stand in front of a portal-like arch of silver, and in the background purple splashes resemble gas clouds, light purple circles resemble planets, and bright light pinpoints with white trails resemble stars. The words "March/April 2025" and "Issue Sixty-Three" are at top. The list of credits is on the bottom
