I'm not religious but it's statements like these that make me crave a bigger, worse hell. Hell 2

haha no this is the opposite of "negatively impacting the creative industry" you big donkey

The company is like an evil vending machine, you put money in and it does what you want, unless somebody else puts more money in and tells it to stop.

Crowd shot of protesters filling Times Square outside the U.S. military recruitment center.

Protester holds hand-lettered sign that reads, "U.S. out of Iran! U.S. out of Korea! U.S. out of everywhere!"

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

Leesha is an incredible cover artist! I adore both of the beautiful covers she created for me (Snowspelled & Thornbound), and she's also such a joy to work with - really thoughtful and responsive.

final day to apply!

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro.

ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever.

This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

Sounds like they used this man as a weapon against his will and then set him up as a scapegoat afterwards.

...she leveraged racist assumptions so she could try to get away with theft. And that poor man took a fist to the face because of it.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

The problem with the whole 'post a woman author you've read 5 books by' is how many women don't get a second book, let alone five.

Anyway, carry on.

A beautiful acknowledgement of the ongoing devastation and heartbreak in Gaza. Thank you @thenation.com

UPDATE: ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL REGISTER IT IS SUPPLIERS, NOT NEW PATIENT ENROLLEES.

This is still very bad, but less overtly bad.

SIX MONTH MORATORIUM, especially for Medi-Caid/Care, means those in the greatest need are going to go without and it IS going to lead to death. They are and have been killing us.

I cannot tell y'all how often we see DME claims at work, and how they can be the most complicated ones, but how in 98% of cases, there's a PROVEN medical need. Oxygen tanks don't last forever. DME supplies - tubing, bags, syringes, tanks, all of it - don't last forever. Usually a month at a time.

Continuous Glucose Monitors. Wheelchairs. Oxygen tanks. Prosthetic limbs. Orthotic supports for malformed limbs. CPAPs. Oxygen tanks. BiPAPs. Beds. Walkers. Oxygen tanks. Ostomy supplies. Cannulas. Oxygen tanks. Cranial helmets. Home infusion supplies. OXYGEN. TANKS.

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Also then he wouldn’t have any money, and I’d pay $2,000 to make that happen

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning.

The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

Sama’a standing in a bombed out building surrounded by rubble and dirt, holding her 5 month old daughter, Talia. She is wearing a Black hijab, a white sweatshirt with Mickey Mouse, and black pants. Baby Talia is swaddled in a white blanket, and wearing a white headband with a bow.

photo of Sama’a and Julia standing in the exposed entrance of their family’s home, before the storm. There is rubble everywhere from bombs. Sama’a is a young woman with light medium skin tone, brown eyes, and burgundy lipstick on her closed lips in a slight smile. She wearing a black hijab and black flowy pantsuit, and holding a large brown purse in her right hand. Her left hand is holding the hand of her three year old daughter Julia, whose curly dark hair is pulled back. Julia is wearing a denim dress with an embroidered collar over a white turtleneck, white stockings and white shoes, with a pale blue puffy coat.

Three year old Julia and 4 month old Talia sleeping together under an orange blanket. They are cuddled and facing each other. Julia is on the left wearing a purple fleece sweater, her dark curly hair in pigtails. Talia is wearing a brown sweater with a white turtleneck underneath, her hair short and curly, her face very chubby.

Sama’a taking a selfie with her daughters. They are standing on the concrete ground with red sheeted walls behind them. Sama’a is wearing a black hijab, a white sweatshirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, and black pants, and holding sleeping baby Talia in her arm who is swaddled in a white blanket and wearing a white headband with a bow. Three year old Julia stands at her hip, wearing a blue green plaid dress witha white collar, white shoes with rose gold flowers, and her dark hair is in pigtails.

Just one dollar could mean food for my children this Ramadan instead of hunger, and peace of mind instead of fear.

I write these words with a heavy heart.

I'm not asking for luxuries, just the basic necessities for my little ones' lives.

- Sama’a 🤍 🌙
