🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
Got myself some zines from @microcosm.bsky.social
Getting myself educated.

As a result of the #BigUglyBill, my husband, who has a chronic illness and depends on medication to stay alive, is losing funding to his #healthcare and meds (meds cost $5k/mo). We are just over the margin to qualify for charity and his insurance will now be $1700/mo. Stressing out.

Whatever fills you up! On the fiction books I seem to be on a kick of SFF with a dark yet cozy theme? Haha
I’m officially at the point where I wonder if the librarians look at my checkouts and go “oh yeah she’s going through something”
My #tbr, shall we say a mix of #activism /current events and things to ease my soul?

I have a lot of loud messy feelings and I want to make loud messy art

Hey guys, long time. What did I miss? How are you?
Has anyone here ever sold art on eBay? 🤔
Curious to try it out.
It’s been a really rough week. Family in hospital, water leaking to the unit below, a crazy neighbor accusing me of child neglect. Putting out fires and getting stuff done. I will do some art this weekend but for now I’m just getting through each day.
A children’s book cover showing smiling kids of many races
Illustration of the Statue of Liberty with her famous quote
Read this book to my kiddo.
Started crying.
This book was published just 5 years ago. So much has changed.

Even when they aren’t the villain! So are the creators of Dexter, Breaking Bad, Oceans Eleven, etc, condoning the crimes their characters commit? Of course not. There is something in these people’s minds where they can only interpret things literally.
I… what…
Cut them up and use the pages as wallpaper/to decorate furniture/drawer liners etc?
Wow! Captures that well
Me, existing anywhere with my kiddo:
People, for some reason: she’s clearly a single mom
My husband is at work/home???
Literally strangers have made comments to me on the street about it?
"artists should charge more!" then pay them. Do comission them. tip them what u think they're worth.
Artists wont believe they are worth money until u give it to them. They know what it's like to not have much, & hope everyone can afford their art. SHOW them they CAN ask more. Don't just Tell them.
A photo of me speaking at a Florida Freedom To Read Project event, with the text "A while back, I wrote a how-to guide for authors who want to advocate for libraries at city council meetings. It focused on 'killing them with kindness' as a way to oppose book bans with politeness and positivity. The book banners recently found the guide, and weren't happy. How did they report it? "AUTHOR MAKES CALL TO "KILL" PARENTS."
It's been a wild day.
To summarize a lot of confused late-night threads, some of the most prolific book banners in America targeted me again.
It started off funny, when one called me a "crazy pigeon."
But another started spreading much more dangerous and malicious misinformation.
This is just jaw droppingly terrible wow
I will let you know I followed you off of this skeet alone. Sounds like you are doing great things, crazy pidgeon
🥰 thank you!
I do watercolor/acrylic painting with lots of wings and whimsy, sometimes dark
Beautiful!!!!!
I’m bouncing between three because I just want to read all the things.
Belladonna by Adalyn Grace.
Neon Gods which is a spicy modern Hades/Persephone reimagining
And also Battle Angel Alita which is of course classic cyberpunk manga
Love the expressiveness of this one
Idk man I was wearing eyeglasses and that pebble flew vertically up through the gap between my cheek and glasses.
Wow so dreamy I love this one!
