Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

This weekend I was reminded that even some very intelligent, thoughtful people are unaware of the AI/data center/energy use problem. Such a massive issue, easily missed in the deluge of other disconcerting events.

I can’t wait for this to go live!

Trump taking over D.C. is terrifying and should not be ignored, but it also a distraction tactic to get us from talking about Epstein. It’s still terrifying and I hate that this is the timeline we’re living in. #AmericaHasNoKings #Politics

Daily Divination: Check your cereal boxes for bugs before you break your fast this morning.

This is just a fun read. Once again Ilona Andrews deliver something amazing. #PortalFantasy #BookSky

Would be nice for a place to get some quick feedback from others on short stories, so I’m definitely interested. #writingcommunity #beta #writesky

Daily Divination: Be mindful of paper cuts.

My niece and his friend are watching #Landman, and I happen to be in the room…. I’m trying not to laugh at the fact that they’re watching a multi-layered, multi-couple romance dressed up as a drama/action show. #romance

The only kind thing my step father ever did for me was to buy two furbied at Xmas time because he saw all the other parents snatching them up. This tidbit brought to you by insomnia filler childhood trauma flashbacks. #CPTSD

I ruined my laptop by falling asleep (medication reaction) with a cup of juice in my hand. It will be a few months before I can get back to writing… #DisabledWriters

I have made it through two weeks of full time work without calling out due to a flare up. I’m proud of myself. #Disability #Disabled #RhuematoidArthritis #hEDS #ChronicPain #DisabilityCommunity

Took a long drive out to the country today to rehome one of our dogs. Here’s a picture from the drive:

Off to work I go. Hi ho, hi ho.

Where have I been? Medical gaslighting. A doctor told me cause my organs aren't prolapsed (yet), I don't have hEDS, ignoring all my other clinical symptoms.

#Writers dilemma: Long nails so pretty. But long nails get stuck in keyboard. Writing or pretty nails? #WritersOfBlueSky

If I can finish jumping through all the hoops, I'll be gainfully employed again. But there are so many hoops, and I am so tired. #Disabled #DisabilityCommunity

Just paid for my signed hard copies of @jenniferestep.bsky.social’s galatic bonds books. I’m so excited I could scream. But won’t cause my spouse is asleep.

Nothing will ever be right again. The love of my life is going where I can’t.

Taking my old lady kitty back to the vet today, so no work on my writing shall be done. #SickCat #WritingCommunity

#hEDS So much fun when your knee cap slides out of place in your sleep and then just slips back in place when you stand up. Oh my stars.

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Six scenes to finish proofing/revising and I’ll be ready for beta readers! #WritingCommunity #WritersOfBluesky #DisabledReaders #SeekingBetaReaders

Feeling better today and figured out why I was blocked on editing a scene in my 1st draft of my WIP. The MMC was mad about something but was too mean. It was bugging me, I didn't want to read it. Now I understand I need to go in and tone things down. #WritingCommunity #Romantasy #DisabledWriters.

I am in a slump. No writing has been done in weeks. I’m sure I’ve killed whatever following Angelfall had. I’m tired. #DisabledWriters

Someday I’ll feel comfortable speaking #Spanish in person… Algún día me sentiré cómodo hablando español en persona.

Some of us, like me, need a lot of rest. We may never feel better (or fully rested). Please be kind. We didn’t choose this life. #LongCovid #pwME #Disability #MECFS

I'm dealing with so much #anxiety lately... I'm sitting in a chair perfectly safe and my body is screaming that we are, this instant in fact, in great terrible danger and need to hide. A blanket will not help. :| #disability

You have, by my estimate 38-days, lift to get your orders in. Who doesn't want signed books from their favorite authors? I do. My orders are in, are yours? #preorder #signedbooks #wheee!

Stripey: jumps ahead of me to curl smack in the middle of the couch just as I was going to lay down. Me: "will you move over so i can join you?" Stripey *Paddington hard stare* Me: "you're so right, I should just go back to bed."

Perceive me.

lol yesterday a white woman touched my braids without asking even though I physically moved back and I guess what I have to say, yet again in 2025, is to STOP TOUCHING PEOPLE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. I'm not an exhibit. I'm a person. Show some respect.

Ordered hard backs of the galactic bonds books. I’m sooo excited!

The weather went from 90s to 50s over night. I hurt. Also I slept on my knee and dislocated it, so Now I’m walking on my non dominant leg and pretty sure I’m going to fall over. #hEDS #Disability #hypermobility

Remember the evil AI from the first book? They're back, and they aren't done being evil! #WIPSnips
