Rep. Jackson and I were just denied entry to the South Loop ICE facility in Chicago.

We went to ask questions and perform congressional oversight of potential illegal ICE activities as Donald Trump's administration targets immigrant communities.

More to come.

I just spent like 10 minutes being unable to remember what state my ex lived in. Not sure if that's healthy closure or early onset dementia.

This was honestly a weird way for Trump to transition, but I support her right to live as her authentic self.
Under Trump's executive order, every single person in America is now legally classified as female.

All embryos begin by developing female sex organs, with male sex organs only replacing them at around 6 weeks of gestation.

This exec order might call itself "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism" but I have never needed defending from my trans sisters, who are loved and welcome with me.

How weak and cowardly of this administration to use women as scapegoats for its own fear.

Anyway hi #BookSky
I'm Kat.
I read, write, make sarcastic comments, and occasionally break my own heart.
The problem with writing a book is that you will have to spend the rest of your life letting down well-meaning people asking you when your next one is coming out.

The force of my jump is pulling me away from the ship, out into space, and I’ve got nothing to push against, no way to propel myself back. My body rotates just a little, against my will. In periphery I can see everything.
I can’t get back.
This is how I die.

He taps the broken thruster with the end of the driver. “What’s wrong with it?”
“The angle.” I show him. “It should be pointing this way. With it twisted like this -”
“The thing would fly right off the surface of the planet.”

“Like extravehicular.”
“You spacewalk?”
“Haven’t yet.” She pushes off the floor and turns a neat somersault in midair. “I train for it.”
“I can’t believe they let kids do that.”
“I’m nineteen.”
“Still.”

“Yeah. Because he was getting you arrested.”
“Ash, no, it wasn’t his fault.”
“Oh, really? Did you help him design that hack?”
“No, but we used it together.”
“And are you here serving time together?”
“It’s not -”
“No, because he threw you under the bus.”

“It’s the ship that’ll take the first settlers to Mars.”
“Does that mean people are actually going to live on Mars?”
“People already do. Astronauts. Research teams.”
“They don’t count. I mean real people.”
Right. Stupid of me.

“You would have done the exact same thing. You’d follow me off the edge of the world. You know you would. You followed me out of prison and out into an EVA.”
I can’t argue with that.

Hey @stephenking.bsky.social will you retweet this?

Also what are we calling "Retweeting" around here? What's the new name for that?
