As a newspaper columnist for 11+ years, who authored over 400 stories in 14 markets across the country, I’m glad to see the papers taking action. Even though I’m the copyright holder of all my articles, so I should be a plantiff, or part of a class action suit for copyright holders. 👀 🤔

And meanwhile, in many states, like here in Texas, there is actually a subminimum wage for service industry workers that has not been raised since the early 90s! It’s legal to pay those workers only $2.13 an hour. That needs to change as well.

Heidi Van Horne @heidivanhorne.bsky.social · 25/07/2025
Please also-How about eliminating the loophole for service industry workers who make the subminimum wage of $2.13 an hour in many states (like Texas), which has not gone up in OVER 30 YEARS?!

Revisiting this… if the Pres didn’t kill the bipartisan immigration bill last year, immigration courts, judges and lawyers would be funded to handle all of these cases in a legal and constitutional manner. But, then he couldn’t campaign on the issue, seize more power, send in troops and make more $.

Because it’s actually just a trap excuse to pull Texas women over & subject them to questioning about their bodies and reproductive functions and their rights, especially as they lose court cases about restricting women’s constitutionally protected right to interstate travel while possibly pregnant.

Well, over half the population is female and this administration ordered doge to cancel any grants or programs that include words like “female” or “woman”, so, by their fraudulent definition, serving the population would, by default of their definition, involve “DEI” about half of the time.

Just a reminder - something that could have helped facilitate due process would be more immigration judges & courts & investment in the system… all things in the bipartisan Border Deal that was about to pass til unelected private citizen candidate Trump ordered the GOP to kill it for political gain.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

The 2 main things I’ll miss leaving meta products is 1. connection to old friends/acquaintances and 2. sharing my art. So… Here’s my latest image from my shoot with the lovely Ripley. Hair and makeup by Angel Chumbley. Photo by me. Heidi Van Horne / VintageVanHorne ©️ 2025
Brunette model with red lips and vintage scarf in her hair looks to the left in a classic style portrait with black background and black top. Moody and romantic.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

If I've learned one thing about grieving and difficult times of late it is this: Don't deny the things that bring you moments of joy and relief. Those moments are not a betrayal, they are necessary to keep on going with the process of dealing with the difficult things.

If you're an artist going to RedNote, I'd wait. A lawyer got her assistant to translate the Mandarin TOS. Basically China owns everything you post there and they can sell your art, your designs, your everything through companies like SheIn and Temu.
