📚The Fox by Nova Nox

For 25 hours and 5 minutes, Cory Booker has reminded us all that WE, THE PEOPLE hold the power.
And as a person the color of cold foam, I can only imagine the way others feel, seeing the REPRESENTATION in this moment.

If only she knew then, what she knows now.

The Fox by Nova Nox follows Amelia Conte, who took what was hers by birthright, the opinions of men be damned.  A fox in a den of snakes, she made the impossible choice, and will not rest until the Kings understand it is the Queen who rules over all.

The Fox is perfect for that empty spot on your #tbrlist

If you love fierce women who refuse to yield to men, a devoted retired sniper who doesn't cower in her power, and a friendship stronger than the threads of fate themselves, The Fox by Nova Nox is for you.

Meet Amelia and Rhodes, over on KU!

If I suggest you protest, use your voice, and stand for what you believe...
Just know I'm out here, doing that exact thing.

Glimmers matter.
Find them where you can...like in the perfect color iced coffee

Mood.

If you want in on these vibes, @gravesco.bsky.social is a wonderful community staple, but also makes amazing pieces to convey *just* how we feel

Do you need an escape from the absolute dumpster fire the world is?

The Coveted series by Brea Lamb is a really great place to start.

There's political intrigue, spice, mental health representation, and BOTH main characters are morally grey 😍

Yummy.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

Protect this law at all costs !

Nova, what are you doing tomorrow?
-Boycotting the Super Bowl
-Reading smutty books because people should read what brings them joy.
-Emailing my elected officials.
-Drinking the tears of petty haters.

Oh, and snacks. Always snacks.

So the Big 5 publishers are suing Idaho. Good.

Arming yourself with knowledge using the libraries within your community IS a form of resistance and protest.

It matters.

If not colonizer, why colonizer shaped?

You can be loud. You do not need permission to use your voice. Your opinions matter too. Be vocal, be steadfast, be the one who fills the voicemails and the inboxes and the mailboxes and the streets and the hallowed halls of buildings.

But if you need it, here is your permission slip.

Go.

Today's action item:
Do something that sparks joy.
It sounds counterintuitive, I know, but you cannot fight on empty, loves.

Fill your tank and be loud again tomorrow.

Joy is resistance but we have to couple it with action.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is not a drill.

This is a coup.

This has to be stopped but who will do that?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

As an author, it is my JOB to ensure that voices are heard and that those others seek to erase are supported. I am a storyteller, a record keeper, a cozy corner who will stand against the tide battering these shores.
If that means you don't read my books? Okie dokie, artichokie.

Libraries.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Today's action item:
Find a BIPOC, marginalized, queer, small business that sells red lipstick.

Buy it.
Wear it.
There is truly a shade for everyone.

Sometimes, being loud isn't an option but wearing a lipstick is.

Then, write your elected officials.
Demand action.
Accountability.
Resistance.

AAHHHHHHH

The reason the words written upon dead trees terrify those clinging to the embers of their power is that literature has the endless ability to change a perspective from that which the oppressor seeks to normalize.

I snagged one and you should too!

Actually anything from Gravesco is a spot of sunshine, to be honest.
