FRANKLIN, TN — Pastor Kevin Riggs: “I used to be in the inner circle of the evangelical church in Franklin… the only thing worse than authoritarianism/dictatorship is theocracy. We must push back against Christian Nationalism, rebuild and defend the wall separating church & state.”

Ereader in the background with the text “I want to talk to you about Kobo Plus. It’s basically KU for Kobo.”
Ereader in the background with text on top “It actually is unlimited! So be careful.”
Ereader in the background with text on top “It doesn’t force authors to be exclusive!”
Ereader in the background with text on top “$7.99 gets you just books or audiobooks. $9.99 gets you both!”
I wish more people would move to Kobo and ditch KU. I say that as someone who has both. I would love to unsub from KU, but that’s where the most authors are.
But at the very least, if you love audiobooks you should check out Kobo Plus!

Blue background “Makes your roll last longer” hast two pictures of toilet paper rolls on silver stands. One is the “Mega Roll” the other is massive and is the “Forever Roll” with a 12 inch height line.
Do I NEED this? No.
Did I get it anyway because I’m tired of dealing with empty rolls in our extra bathrooms? 💯
I’m fairly certain my excitement exceeds the norm.

Citing a ProPublica investigation that found that workers at federal lockups had been lured away to ICE, lawmakers asked how the Federal Bureau of Prisons plans to address the agency’s “crisis conditions” and “pervasive shortages” of critical staff.
The road for #trans people to end up in #undocumented #concentrationcamps just got a whole lot shorter with the invalidation of their driver’s licenses.

I scheduled a sensitivity consultation for my #worldbuilding today. I’ve been feeling stuck because I don’t know if I’m on the right path or creating a brand new mess.
I’m really excited to hear an outside opinion and get feedback on diversity/inclusion related issues.

My baby got his dementia and arthritis meds today. He turns 13 in November, but we’re just hoping for a few more quality months.

NEW: Senate Democrats REJECT funding for DHS, which will lead to shutdown of the agency. Keep in mind, ICE and CBP are still funded by supplemental money in the BBB, but it's harder to spend and will deplete those funds. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Kobo Plus doesn't get the attention it deserves. I love it, but it sucks that so many authors are stuck in KU because that's where all the readers are.
Alright, just ordered a Kobo Libra Colour with case & Stylus. Finally making a big step away from Amazon & the Kindle ecosystem. No longer will I need to convert ePUB files to azw3.
If stripping the DRM from my currently "owned" Kindle purchases is wrong, well, I'm not gonna be right.😎

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability.
Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill.

What's happened to three well-known incarcerated activists who supported a 2022 prison strike & were featured in an Oscar-nominated documentary about the troubled Alabama system? They've been moved to isolated cells with little contact with others.
It's straight-up retaliation.
No pay wall.
NW: The Alabama Solution (2025)
I finally watched #TheAlabamaSolution.
I knew some things and I definitely knew there were issues….
But I’m having trouble not comparing it to the current #ice situation. I can’t help but see similarities with violent injustice and sharp contrasts in public outcry.
We have a lot of work to do.
