It's been a while since I did a charity stream! This one is to benefit @NRAAFva, for obvious reasons. Going to survey recent-ish games I loved for their narratives. If we hit $5K, I have a nice giveaway. Join me! twitch.tv/nkjemisin

“Let this radicalize you, rather than lead you to despair.”
Channeling the radical hope of @prisonculture today. Equitable access to safe abortion care is a fundamental component of Reproductive Justice, and we will not negotiate. twitter.com/scotusblog/sta…

What ends today in more than 20 states is LEGAL abortion, women's and people with uteri's rights to bodily autonomy, and the fragile notion that everyone is free. Clearly, few of us are. I do not know where we go from here but this is not the end of a fight. It's the beginning.
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin So tired of mealymouthed concern trolling from the privileged about the danger of "divisiveness" and not upsetting the applecart. You know what's actually divisive? Letting bigots talk. Letting them run the show. That launches the applecart off a cliff, y'all.
Gay marriage is next. Interracial marriage is next. So many other rights that are fundamental to our ability to function as a nation are in danger now. Our enemies are laughing as we gut ourselves.
But sure, the real threat is "wokeness" and CRT and Drag Queen Story Hour.
So can we start officially calling ourselves a fascist nation now? I mean, we've been there for a while now, but I'm just wondering if we can discard the pretense yet given that the majority of the country just lost bodily autonomy and the right to privacy. twitter.com/SCOTUSblog/sta…
Indian tech workers told me caste discrimination is an open secret at some of America's largest tech companies. Dalit employees have been verbally abused and isolated, and if they try to come forward, they've been reported to HR or even reassigned.

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin As we inch towards meeting our basic funding goal to keep publishing through 2023, and look towards meeting our stretch goals, a thread on what we do with your contributions.
Other than our weekly issues, for our 2022 fund-drive, we promised four special issues.

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin #SCOTUS decision isnt fully about gun rights - red states already have them. It's about overturning the will of blue state voters and destabilizing blue cities like #NewYork. @BostonReview

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin People tell me, "Oh, you live in the US, you cannot understand how important secularism is to French culture."
I guess I don't understand secularism if it means a modest bathing suit can't be accepted as a personal choice made for any or no reason.
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin As a supporter of @PENamerica and a member of one of its committees, this is pretty disturbing to read on their website. There is a plethora of data that indicates these incidents create a hostile learning environment for Blaxk students and it’s shocking to see PEN deny that. twitter.com/jeremycyoung/s…
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin I'm not sure the world will believe what's happening here.
A mass shooting that killed 19 children and we lift protections against gun violence.
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin Ooh, lots of cool new books coming out soon. Looks like I'll be in good company! (::cough:: It's four Hugos. But the fourth was for a novelette, so easy to forget.) publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/ne…
Brittney's wife speaks the truth: "If I can’t trust you to catch a Saturday call outside of business hours, how can I trust you to actually be negotiating on my wife’s behalf to come home? Because that’s a much bigger ask than to catch a Saturday call.” apnews.com/article/russia…
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin Listening to Shaye Moss, I’m reminded about how often the very people who are least protected by this nation’s constitutional principals are also so often the people who fight hardest to preserve them.
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin 8 years after this Onion article turns into an actual one in Foreign Policy magazine 🤣twitter.com/ForeignPolicy/…Tc
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin This is the actual Death Panels. Private companies deciding individuals are too expensive to keep alive.
This is disability eugenics.
If you think this will stop here (which is awful!) and not be used to kill other disabled people, you are a goddamn fool. twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/…
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin Lol. This is the failure of a school system that never took assault seriously before so let a substandard ad hoc system flourish. we are failing them
ALL OF THEM
including the kids who have to scribble on walls in hopes of saving each other

We are hurtling towards theocracy.
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin I would travel way more, and would eat in restaurants sometimes, if I wasn't terrified of covid. I haven't gotten my nails done since 2019. There are probably millions of others like me.

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin I kid you not, the blonde substitute teacher told my almost 16 year old granddaughter, "You're very articulate for a Muslim girl."
My granddaughter replied, "Good job. Articulate is a big word for you! Isn't it?"
That's my girl!🥰
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin Yall wanna hear how the fear of Black ppl's freedom led to a plot to establish White Wakanda, Trump's impeachment, Jan 6, congressional stagnation, the crack epidemic, mass shootings, the South almost winning the Civil War
And what it all has to do with Juneteenth?

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin You've probably heard On Here in the wake of Uvalde that cops have no legal duty to protect you. The case establishing that rule, though, is even worse than you think. This is a thread on the 2005 SCOTUS case of Castle Rock v. Gonzales.

Whoops, forgot this: Big congrats to @OuterloopGames for winning the 2022 Tribeca Games Award for "Thirsty Suitors"! (Also check out Falcon Age, which I loved and some of you may remember me streaming a few years back) twitter.com/Tribeca/status…
Deep in Hell Month right now -- copyedit, script revision, 1st pass, back to back -- but I so rarely take decent photos of my cats that I wanted to share! Ozzy, and a rose from my garden. (Not shown: he knocked the vase over afterward. I caught it before it could break.)
I'm so excited that this RPG project of mine is going to see print!! :D Thrilled to be working with Android Press. twitter.com/press_android/…

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin A quick thread on extremists targeting Pride and drag queen events:
You’re not imagining it. Threats against these communities are increasing.
Targeted threats canceled Pride events and forced people out of their homes in the last week.
It's part of a new anti-trans "machine."
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin PSA: If you take medications for abortion at home and you have a complication in a state where abortion is illegal, you do not have to tell your medical team that you took the medication. We treat the complications from medical abortion and miscarriage the same
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin This rant on why the whole world should not be subject to American Twitter is so so good
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin there's now a map of sundown towns--this looks like a cancerous node over Indiana. an example of how racial segregation and terrorism expresses itself differently by region--sundown towns were (are) dominant in the midwest. justice.tougaloo.edu/map/
Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin Well, copyedit's due this week so let me get off Twitter and back to stealing a writing job from some white guy. Have a great Monday, everybody!
Had an absolutely lovely talk this am with @grahnort and crew re their book club podcast, about Octavia Butler! Will share when I can. I *think* I sounded coherent. Pre-coffee me babbles. A lot. 😅
Libraries developed in the Islamic Golden Age due to a commitment to literacy & seeking knowledge. One of the oldest libraries in the world Al-Qarawiyyin library, was founded by a Muslim woman, more than 12 centuries ago!

Retweeted by N. K. Jemisin There is a GIANT and MASSIVE difference between wanting to ban books and wanting to critique them. One is a free speech violation. The other is a free speech exercise. twitter.com/JennieBH/statu…
