“What really drew me to writing this book… is that I feel like I got this question a lot — ‘but where are you from?’” Jared Lemus said. The collection centers on four orphans in Guatemala and a tattoo artist navigating life. #TXST #JaredLemus #WritingCommunity @jaredlemus.bsky.social

If you’re incredibly shocked about the president invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act— well, just wait until you find out that lawyers are still citing cases involving enslaved African Americans as precedent in CONTEMPORARY legal cases. Enjoy: www.citingslavery.org

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.

Tuning in to the #superbowl to watch Kendrick and reaffirming that football makes no sense. 2 minute on the clock. 10 minutes later, 1:47 left. How? One touchdown scored, put 6, 7, or 8 points on that scoreboard, whatever feels right. SMH

Just a tax reminder to my fellow writers that you should be deducting EVERYTHING you possibly can that’s related to your writerly activities. Agent commissions, a percentage of your home expenses for a home work space (incld utilities), books, office supplies, conference/research expenses etc. etc.
