Literally the correct word for a detention center where the occupants are not given due process

For anyone who hasn't read All I Know So Far, I apologize in advance for Dev*n. And also to Avery. I'm sorry I put you through that bb.

Rest assured every one of these assholes is vaxxed and so are their kids. They just dgaf about anyone else and do not care how many kids die because of their grift.

Wow, I love the queers🌈❤️⛸️

"I continue to include more than one disabled character because I know what it’s like to be in isolation—and how it feels to finally be in community with those who understand." Happy book birthday to @nordqvistbooks.bsky.social❤️

Everyone say happy birthday to Artemis! She's eight today🐱🥳❤️

Being a TERF comes with a higher likelihood of being a pedophile than being trans does. Can we stop "just asking questions" now?

My writer friends made a podcast! And I'm so excited for it! And you can listen to the first episode! 🔗: bidibidibookpod.com/episodes/jon...

Early eugenicists claimed that people from certain countries were a burden due to disability (whether or not they had one). Now, Trump is doing the same by stopping immigrant visas from those from 75 countries. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I did not want my timeline to be 99% politics. But this is my life as a disabled transgender Minnesotan right now. They are kidnapping people in my hometown. Murdering neighbors on streets I visit every week. I'll adjust my feed when the feds are out of my state, Minnesota is Canada, or I am dead.

Any #Booksky folks from NC or VA and want to hang out with me👀

The thing we should be taking away from zombie movies is that there are enough random people in the country that if everyone mobilized as one viral horde, even the military would be powerless. Unrelated, have you noticed that fascists hate when people organize and build community?

The general public: We really liked Sinners, KPop Demon Hunters, and Heated Rivalry this year. Trad pub: So what you're saying is we should cut back on queer and BIPOC rep🤔

Currently querying my queer, contemporary YA I comped to my fellow queer YAs: 📚the dance themes, and mental health rep of WHEN IT ALL SYNCS UP by @mayaameyaw.bsky.social 📚the intersection of disability and general theater nerd-ness to FULL DISCLOSURE by @dancingofpens.bsky.social

Indie Ink Awards finalist❤️📖✨ Thank you SO much to everyone who voted! The jurors will take some time to read all the books, so it may be a while, but that Kai is resonating with readers, especially re: disability and queer rep, means the world to me. More on Substack🔗

I have now watched the first three episodes of Heated Rivalry, which has really reminded me that there are several 🔗s on my page if you want to help folks in 🇵🇸 eat today!

SNAP now has work requirements for people 55 to 64. But because of the axing of a USDA food insecurity survey, we may not have comprehensive data of the effects of this barbaric change. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/food/2026/01...

"Did you know you could just behave?" – me to my cat at least three times a day

Oh, I can't WAIT to introduce y'all to Maddy. Currently querying pls stand by.

Hi! The Trump admin is asking UPenn for a list of Jews on campus, and I pretty much want to throw up! We can't ignore that we got here bc we've allowed Trump to terrorize our communities thus far – including immigrants & Palestinians & trans folks. None of us are free until all of us are free.

This is of course very bad. And I feel like not enough of you know that having a disability has been grounds for denying visa processing since the late 19th century due to supposed risk of needing public assistance.

Toad hoarders, teleporting cat colonies, and exotic reptile conventions are just a Tuesday in "Heidi's house of Rescued Familiars," but when Heidi vows to rescue a familiar from the richest wizard in Louisiana, her little nonprofit is in for a rescue unlike any other. #BluePit📖 #A #LGBT #F #Q

Before dunking on people for doing so, I'll raise that being undiagnosed with health issues is very much hell and people are desperate.

Actors, doctors and human rights leaders sign letter calling for restoration of medical care to ‘collapsed’ system

Work in progress posting for all the chronic illness babes😘

Just saying, the massive 🍉 shmivaway I've got on IG currently has 14 entries for 35 prizes for both writers and readers, so if you want a book or a critique or an AMA with an agent, you've got a pretty good chance if you want to click that 🔗 on my page ...

In the MS I'm currently querying with amazing agent @danieledhunter.bsky.social, Will stops dancing due to chronic pain, so dance is at the center of the book. But his younger brother, Alec, is a freshman on their HS football team, and Iain, Will's ex-rival-turned-[redacted], is NOT a football gay.

Nicole's book giveaways for Gaza have always given me amazing signed additions to my library and for such a good cause💜 Two of my fav books in this giveaway include: "This is Why They Hate Us" - LGBT+ YA romance/coming of age story "The Dead of Summer" - Coral zombies! #booksky

"What do you like to read, Nicole?" Well, so far in 2026 I've read a collection of essays (Disability Visibility), a new adult dark academia contemporary fantasy (An Arcane Inheritance), and a YA eldritch horror (Beholder). And I gave them all five stars. So basically I have no idea.

Someone made a good point about finding prompts left in AI books: they expect you to read what they didn’t read themselves. Their argument is that they have the vision but lack the skills. Wouldn’t you want to read your vision? Just ridiculous.
