Sometimes when I have writer's block, I draw out a potential scene with the people as birds... from 2017 when I was working on A Quiver Full.

A boat makes big ripples in the Colorado River near Buckskin State Park. Bottom half of the photo is the dark blue green of the Colorado River with bushes in the right foreground and on the left middle ground is two large dark sandstone rocks and an RV park along the river. The top half of the photo is blue sky with a few whispy clouds. Photo taken by Jenifer Hanen on Nov 8 2025 in Parker, Arizona.

Our job as Team Human is not to succumb to the zero-sum mentality of the wealthy.

They’re the ones who have given up on prosperity.

They are living the nightmare.

I’ve spent today painting an icon of a mouse while listening to the rain drumming down on the studio roof. Tomorrow it’s whiskers and a plant between its paws.

Hello Fall Back Time change,

It feels like it is after 9pm. I am ready for bed. But it is, in fact, only 6:40pm.

This will go badly.

My niece told me if one her high school teachers catches them using AI on a paper, they are required to write a letter to a family who lives near a data center to say sorry for using their water to do their homework.

Emma the Amazing has hit the nail on the head. I like to write first in my notebook with a nice dark pen, then I take the ideas to TextMate to flesh out and edit as a txt file. I only take it to online text editor (never use Word) at the very last stage to format.

Close up of two white hibiscus flowers with scarlet red inner petals and big cream colored stamens or possibly inflorescences. In the larger hibiscus flower is a bee, all we see is bee butt sticking out as the bee sips away at nectar or gathers pollen. Photo taken by Jenifer Hanen in Bishop, Calif. on October 25, 2025.

Oct 2025 first snow scene at the Silver Lake Campground in June Lake, California. Foreground is a paved single lane road cleared of snow. The middle ground is a line of yellow autumnal aspen trees and occasional dark green pine tree with a white small motor home. And the background is the majestic Eastern High Sierra Nevada Mountains covered in a new layer of snow with a sunny sky. Photo by Jenifer Hanen.

The bsky.app website is no longer rendering when logged in on Firefox for Mac since the 143.0.4 update.

My 57 year old eyes would much rather look at Blue Sky on my laptop's monitor than on my phone. Yes, I whitewashed it on all the things plus did the hard rest. Still no go.

One of the things I don't get about the people who want to end birthright citizenship is can they not comprehend that it could be used against them as well?
chrisgeidner.bsky.social Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · Oct 3
BREAKING: The First Circuit rejects Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. In the New Jersey-led multistate case, the appeals court, in a 100-page ruling, keeps the nationwide scope of the injunction blocking the EO in place. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Government now asks us to reverse the preliminary injunctions in these cases. We see no reason to do so. The Government is right that the Framers of the Citizenship Clause sought to remove the stain of Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 119 How.) 393 (1857), which shamefully denied United States citizenship to "descendants of Africans who were imported into this country, and sold as slaves," even when the descendants were born here. Id. at 403. But the Framers chose to accomplish that just purpose in broad terms, as both the supreme Court in United States . Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), and Congress in passing § 1401(a) have recognized. The Government is therefore wrong to argue that the plaintiffs are not likely to succeed in showing that the children that the EO covers are citizens of this country at birth, just as the Government is wrong to argue that various limits on our remedial power independently require us to reverse the preliminary injunctions.? The analysis that follows is necessarily lengthy, as we must address the parties' numerous arguments in each of the cases involved. But the length of our analysis should not be mistaken for a sign that the fundamental question that these cases raise about the scope of birthright citizenship is a difficult one. •It is not, which may explain why it has been more than a century since a branch of our government has made as concerted an effort as the Executive Branch now makes to deny Americans their birthright. Thus, it is no surprise that, when presented with even more uncontroverted evidence by the State-Plaintiffs about the need for an injunction of the current breadth, the District Court again found that a narrower injunction would leave unremedied "administrative and financial harms." We therefore decline to conclude that the District Court has abused its discretion in fashioning relief. See Philip Morris, Inc. v. Harshbarger, 159 F. 3d 670, 680 (1st Cir. 1998) (explaining that "[als a general rule, a disappointed litigant cannot surface an objection to a preliminary injunction for the first time in an appellate venue" because doing so deprives the district court of the opportunity to "consider [the objection] and correct the injunction if necessary, without the need for appeal" (quoting Zenon, 711 F.2d at 478)). The "lessons of history" thus give us every reason to be wary of now blessing this most recent effort to break with our established tradition of recognizing birthright citizenship and to make citizenship depend on the actions of one's parents rather than -- in all but the rarest of circumstances -- the simple fact of being born in the United States. United States v. Di Re, 332 U.S. 581, 595 (1948). Nor does the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, which countermanded our most infamous attempt to break with that tradition, permit us to bless this effort, any more than does the Supreme Court's interpretation of that amendment in Wong Kim Ark, the many related precedents that have followed it, or Congress's 1952 statute writing that amendment's words in the U.S. Code. The District Court's order for entry of the preliminary injunctions is affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded for further consideration consistent with this decision.

I am deeply happy that a random Amazon reviewer of my book, A Quiver Full, truly in a few sentences not only sums up my book, but also about 98% of my life. Thank you, Wendy!

A screenshot of an Amazon.com review from Wendy on Jenifer Hanen's book, "A Quiver Full". The text says, "Unique Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2025 Format: Kindle This is an unusual story, odd, but, in a good way. Fantastical. Humorous. Well written, unique story. But odd. I read it twice before leaving a review."

Today @alritch.bsky.social dm'd me & Sandra M text'd me. It was kind of bad news that one does not want to hear of.

The unexpected death of a friend. A friend who we had great times together: shows, bands, dancing, Punk Rock Bowling. All the times before folks get married & have kids & careers.
