JUST IN: California voters have approved a ballot measure to redraw the state's congressional map to favor Democrats, marking the party's biggest victory to date in a national battle over redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterms.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

My latest newsletter is about one of my writing pet peeves. I *hate* it when a novel gives its main character a personal epiphany on page 300 that: a) could have happened on page 30 instead bc it was already clear b) is ridic embarrassingly obvious and surface-level buttondown.com/charliejane/...

I suspect that the techbros who read the SFF stories about robots rebelling decided that the moral of the story was "design them so they won't" and they think that's actually possible and desirable.

It was super fun to be able to launch our new Pose feature in Adobe Fresco at MAX! Pose lets you turn ANY 2d image into a virtual puppet, so you can push, pull and animate it frame by frame. Check it out! #adobemax #adobefresco #animation

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Good morning! Shhhh. Karl is still sleeping

RIP Robert Redford, a brilliant artist and performer, visionary philanthropist and the star of one of the most resilient reaction memes on the internet, even if most people don’t realize this is him:

If you need a little hope this morning - the current tween trend involves decorating clothespins with affirming messages, then clipping them on friends' backpacks when they're not looking. Here are a few that my 11-year-old decorated this weekend ❤️
