Today has been aggressively expensive and stressful and I would like a break please. And if anyone wanted any crocheted pride things or (subjectively) great queer books, this would be a great time to buy some! shop.foxglovefiction.com

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

We don’t know if Their Just Desserts, which came out on Tuesday, is in stores right now. We’re seeing a lot of not in stocks online. The Cookie Crumbles sold well despite B&N not carrying it, because of Indies. All of this to ask: if you see it, can you take a picture? I’m worried something’s off.

With The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar coming out this year, I thought it'd be fun to throw a re-read party for the book that started it all! Whether it’s your first time reading The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School, or you just want to refresh your memory before september, let’s do it together!

The federal government is attempting a radical, massive expansion of what constitutes "wiretapping" that threatens everyone working in media/as a journalist today and I hope you'll read this and share it with everyone you know. I'm not just fighting this for me. I'm fighting it for everyone.

Thank ALL of you for your support yesterday with the cover reveal. I’m blown away by how you all showed up. This story is close to my heart. It has my first bipolar character, it’s powerful, glittery, loving, and compassionate. And so joyful. I hope you’ll all love it like I do. Thank YOU!

PUBLISHING: please let me write adult rom coms! Specifically ones that feature mental illness and disability rep and let fat Black women get loved without conditions. And instead of huge stakes, we gently focus on acknowledging trauma with patience, and I want the hot guy to fall first. Thank you.

My 11 year old has to go on a school trip she does not want to go on. So I said listen, you’re an owl, and you know what you’re going to have? A hoot! This kid looked at me without a smile and said, maybe it’s good we’re getting some space.

So, B&N is having a preorder sale at the same time as Amazon is having a sale, and both are targeting Independent Bookstore Day, which is one of the biggest in-store shopping days of the year. It feels shitty as an indie bookstore to be targeted by billionaire and venture-backed corporations

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
