@johannamation.bsky.social made a gorgeous piece for my novel, THISTLE & DOWN: an adult historical fantasy about a pregnant 18 year old working in a textile mill run by baby-snatching fairies (currently seeking rep). Check out more of Johanna’s art at johannamation.com!

Greetings from the #HandsOff protest in Salt Lake City, Utah!

This is 24 y/o Franco José Caraballo. He’s in a prison in El Salvador because his tattoos looked gang-related (he has no known gang ties). The US gov is sending innocents to foreign prisons. Support the judges and judicial system that’s trying to stop this, and hold Trump accountable. #StopTrump

The Hereford World Map is wild. It’s the largest medieval world map: Asia’s in the top half, Europe bottom left, and Africa bottom right. Jerusalem is in the middle, seen as the center of the world. Just goes to show how differently people saw the world 700 yrs ago. #AncientSky #oldmaps #medieval
