The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

my friend sent me this incredible tomb rubbing that her father made many years ago. i am overwhelmed, it's so lovely! tomorrow when the light is better i'll take some detail shots

For the first time ever, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will stream the two opening songs of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour kickoff in Minneapolis — live and free at approximately 7:30 p.m. CT tonight!

"I believe in a future in which trans people aren't forced to live in fear, shame and secrecy." My strip for TDOV.

The details really really do matter. My timeline is already flooded with “SCOTUS struck down!” which … it didn’t. This isn’t good, but it also isn’t over, and the concurrence apparently gives a roadmap for CO to follow. Legal details matter in legal cases.

Such a good piece.

Pope Leo should review this

My apple orchard in bloom... and rusty old train tracks above it! This is my first time doing tracks on an aerial embroidery and I'm pretty happy with the effect; the flowering trees were a chore but I'm happy with them too! The last element to add is the allotment to the left 🥕🥬🌱 #landscape

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

Hi! Huge news! COVER REVEAL!!! 📖 SOMETHING FOLLOWED US HOME is a groundbreaking anthology where each story reimagines immigration, colonization, faith, and folklore as the fears we inherit and carry across borders and generations.

I completely love this.

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

#NoKings from the arctic in Utqiaġvik, Alaska the northernmost city in the entire USA!

Organizers estimate more than 200,000 people attended the flagship #NoKings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, possibly setting a record for the largest single-day protest in state history. 📷️: Renee Jones Schneider

Took 40-odd years but Bruce has finally allowed "Born in the USA" to be used in a commercial. By the ACLU. Supporting birthright citizenship. Yeah.

We love Roman women at work! Two female tile makers at Bovianum Vetus (Italy): (CIL I, 3556a, 130-80 BCE)—one of them signs the rooftile with her foot. 'Detfri of Hn. Sattis signed with a footprint.' 🦶 See @katherinemcdon.bsky.social's brilliant analysis: katherinemcdonald.net/2016/01/14/f....

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

The leading cause of health disparities in this country, health inequity, is being struck from medical school curricula- this is a sad day for public health and medicine

This was useful & interesting last time, so I'll try again: ISO a Black comics artist for a short, 2-color, YA historical & contemporary graphic NF project. Atmosphere more moody/realistic than superhero, manga, or cute. If you have suggestions or links to a portfolio, please drop them below!

Surprise! Cover reveal for my "haunted house but really immigrant generational trauma and gentrification erases cultural memory" book! Coming out next February, assuming I can get through this revision.

Well, the cats have declared victory, as the car is now at the mechanic and their appointment has been rescheduled.

One of my clients was detained 2 wks after emergency gallbladder surgery and suffered a brain bleed shortly after being taken into custody. It's still not clear exactly what happened. Luckily, I was able to file a habeas petition within 2 days and ICE agreed to release him. So many stories like this

Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

That thing where it's been a minute since you've driven, and your anxiety suggests maybe seeing if the car will start *before* trying to take the cats to the vet tomorrow. And your anxiety was right - the battery is in fact dead! Dammit.

I have openings in my editing calendar. I do mainly developmental edits of novels and novellas, and work with many genres. All brought to you by too much coffee and 15+ years of experience, never AI. More info here: www.kathowardbooks.com/editing

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I am one of the people who helped edit the last three books in the series, and I agree with this. JKR has shown that she enjoys her cruelty, and no matter how much I loved the books back then, I can't watch this.

This is the secret to the output of so many prolific artists. There's someone to do all the other stuff. Fine and dandy if you can afford it, or swing it some other way, but it's so often completely invisible.

reported ICE presence at the Mall of America today "Seen near Log Chute ride at Nickelodeon Universe. Agent wearing normal clothes, with badge in the middle of chest. He stopped a woman, asked her for US ID and raised his voice."

Kat is amazing, if you're looking for an editor!

Since people are asking who it is, I'll name him: It's Steven Brust. He has engaged in sexual harassment against friends and colleagues, particularly at and around 4th Street Fantasy convention. It is the reason why he has been excised from the con and is no longer welcome there and part of it.

Yeah, this just sucks. All of it sucks. I dunno how to combat something like this tbh.

This is pretty freaking scary. ICE agents had an underlying mission to threaten, spy on, and document Democratic lawmakers in the state of Minnesota. Did Lisa Demuth and the Republican leadership ask for them to harass the DFL? www.startribune.com/minnesota-de...
