hi hi! i’m sarah, an author, former nyc publishing professional, + current bay area–based kidlit freelancer🫡 i love soapmaking, iced oat lattes, ♻️fashion, wong kar-wai films, horror, a good tomatoast, + more, and am always looking for new opportunities in the kidlit IP / licensing space 🥹🖤
A PW Rights Report screenshot saying the following: Stephanie Guerdan at HarperCollins has bought world rights to Camp Scream by debut author Sarah C. Yung (l.), a chapter book series about two human kids at a summer camp for monsters and cryptids. Book one will be illustrated by Kelsey Eng (c.), and the remaining books will be illustrated by Laan Cham (r.). Publication is tentatively scheduled for summer 2024; the author represented herself, Kathleen Rushall at Andrea Brown Literary represented Eng, and Jemiscoe Chambers-Black represented Cham. six colorful soapies i made, the top three loaf slices resembling oceanic zone maps in shades of (from l.): cerulean; green and blush; and violet and light blue. the bottom three feature (from l.): a slice of strawberry matcha with a straw, ice cubes, and boba; a 5 oz. cube evoking a latte with ice; and a riverbed soap in shades of tan and light green. An iced oat latte and iced oat matcha in two soda can–shaped glasses sit on a metal tray on a white round table. The logo for Cafe Siete is on a black napkin and reflected from a sign onto the table. In front of Third Culture Bakery, short hair bleached blond Sarah wears an all•black outfit ft. In God We Trust NYC sheer long sleeve tunic, Novis long vest, Ostwald Helgason pleated silk degradé midi skirt, Sheertex tights, and Doc Marten Mary Janes.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...
California cracks down on water theft but spares data centers from disclosing how much they use
Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required data centers to report their projected water use when applying for a business license.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.
Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"
Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray. “I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.” But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire. “We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Please share: 24-HOUR BIRTHDAY DRIVE 💡My ONE wish today is to help high school students in Gaza City take their exams 💛

We’re matching 100 to help Spark Space host these kids with internet & electricity—under bombs and ground invasion. Match their bravery.

A golden graphic titled “Sabr for Spark Space.” The background has a watercolor effect. The text says: “Spark Space is bringing free internet and electricity to dozens of high school students for their tawjihi exams this week—among bombing, mass displacement, and ground invasion in Gaza City, this is an act of resistance to ethnic cleansing. We're meeting their sabr (patience) with our boldness: help keep the lights on. linktr.ee/sparkworkspace.” Next to the text is an illustration of a cactus pear in yellow and green.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

You can already see expansion. At first they railed at "illegals" and assured us they loved immigrants who came the "right way." Now they're targeting legal immigrants and Green Card holders and trying to denaturalize people who were born here to undocumented parents.

Traditionally authoritarians whose violence against an outgroup makes the outgroup too small to sustain just expand their definition of the outgroup to include new people
