I'm participating in #kidlitforceasfire for the third year in a row. Please check out this fundraiser! All proceeds go directly to helping evacuate a family in Gaza. This year I'm donating 5 signed copies of Age of Defiance, but there are a bunch of great items www.32auctions.com/KidLit4Cease...

Two years of war and horror have left Sama'a exhausted and her family worn down. Even a small donation helps. chuffed.org/project/157569

🚨 GEORGE GALLOWAY: "The massacre of 167 girls, aged 7 to 12, at a school in Iran is the greatest atrocity committed by the U.S. since the Vietnam War." "It's the largest mass killing of schoolgirls ever recorded in world history." #iran #UnitedStates #Israel #australia #canada #eroupe #highlights

i wish our politics was more "this guy wants to enact this public transportation plan vs this guy who wants to this public transportation plan" and not "this guy wants to ignore all actual problems vs this guy who wants to put you in a concentration camp."

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

I cannot attend the function I am *sounds of something being devoured violently in the woods*

I’m going to be signing books at @allthetropesbooks.bsky.social on February 8th with 3 other very cool authors. Be sure to come by and see us #atl #booksky

I took a close look at the latest Department of Homeland Security AI use case inventory, which details over 200 applications across DHS component agencies, including CBP and ICE. DHS is rapidly deploying these tools in US cities, while increasingly engaging in violence and defying court orders.

One small thing you can do today: ICE is ramping up in Maine. Food For All is delivering meals to 300 families that can't leave their homes. They need $7k a day to continue operations. The Culture Study community is raising enough to cover a day—join us? Donate directly: givebutter.com/Scx87A or

President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.

Will you accept this Vampire for my February Postcard Club piece? ♥️😌

As a wine mom-adjacent wine aunt I feel like admitting wine moms are terrifying bad asses that you're afraid of is just going to further embolden them

Would someone who's read Riding Nerdy be interested in taking a look at the first few pages of book 2 and giving me some feedback about it?

If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball. The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about. Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Watch the whole thing. Absolutely chilling.

Just 2 weeks left to reach our goal on kickstarter. I'm not sure if we're going to make it, but it would be very cool if we did 😅 If you don't know, I'm working on an anthology about a magical black hair salon and the book is set to release in Spring 2026 www.kickstarter.com/projects/rid...

There are only 18 days left to support our kickstarter about a magical black hair salon. Here's a sneak peek of Hunter's story. She's a multidimensional alchemist. In another reality, the campaign is fully funded, & everyone's getting book boxes & a shop t-shirt www.kickstarter.com/projects/rid...

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇
