It might be okay if we weren't all trapped in this late-capitalist hellscape but we are. So, you know, kick the fuck down, motherfucker. At least ask for it at the library, so they'll buy it.

Hey everybody quit pirating books, wouldja?
Here I was, fretting over sales and Goodreads ratings that are so-so at best, and it turns out it doesn't matter cause people just want your stuff for free.
This especially hurts BIPOC authors like me, who already have a tough go in an industry where people think we're not worth buying or reading.

It's my birthday! I'm happy I get the chance to keep writing queer, gothic Trini-Canadian stories and be more feral. Thanks for keeping a lonely weirdo like me company. I hope you have a good day and that next year is safe for everyone, especially those facing persecution and genocide Much love! 🖤

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.
I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

![II. Credibility
The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6]
Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage.
[FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifpyry2il5toxbr3iejgrsxs6kmnwve75qwnhebfp44ieyjrfpsdu@jpeg)
