Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks.

We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

Hi! May I please get an Ugly Dogs label, whenever you get a chance? Thanks in advance!

For the millions of newbies:

BlueSky does not have an algorithm.

Like means: "I like it."

Reskeet/repost/whatever: "I like it and I want others to see it."

Likes do not help visibility, only a reskeet does that, sharing to your followers, who can make their own choices.

You are the algorithm.

Hey #uglydogs -- someone I do rescue with has three adorable rez dog puppies looking for homes. They will have all their shots and other starter-pack health care done, and we can get papers for the US border.

You could see one of these faces EVERY DAY.

Bluesky,
