A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon.
That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.

I wish pillowfort would take off. It's the only site where I feel like the owner wants me there and is willing to step in to protect people who actually need it.

@naomikritzer.bsky.social Well, I just found out TODAY, despite reading the book years ago, that you thanked me in the acknowledgments of Chaos on Catnet. I have no memory of the conversation you're referencing but thank you very much :)

@naomikritzer.bsky.social Do you ever do any of the local book festivals? Like TCBF or the Book Fair for Grown Ups? I keep thinking of getting into them because I loved comic cons but I'm not sure if they're worth it.

ATTN #Minnesota residents! Please contact your rep in the MN senate to tell them to vote AGAINST the MN Senta's Omnibus Climate and Energy Bill- it walks back a LOT of the clean energy goals we worked hard to get passed, and pretends things like biodiesel is carbon neutral which is factually wrong.

Love this book so much! Very good storytelling, with queer and trans teen characters, on the various and imperfect ways a (superhero!) family adjusts to acquired disability and its impact on identity, in a not-so-far-future America still in thrall to media spin and the prison industrial complex.

Ask them to slide the warrant under the door for you to look at it. It MUST be signed by a judge. An administrative warrant - which is what many ICE warrants are - does *NOT* allow them to enter your home.
We will be looking at doing community trainings to be best prepared. Do not open your door unless they have a valid warrant. As a reminder, to be allowed to enter your home, ICE must have a warrant signed by a judge with your correct name and address on it. 5/

Just to be perfectly clear I do not and will not use AI for my covers. These are hand drawn, down to every shard of glass and leaf, by me.
I love these goobers & want the best for them.
I mean I am going to put them through the torments.
But they do deserve covers made with love and care.

After that, proceeds go to climate orgs.

Fuck it, I am stressed about the US election so- both my late YA books are free till we get election results! Do what you can, then come and enjoy a distraction with themes of hope and struggling with systemic injustice- but with nanites, superheroes, and explosions etc.
