If you are looking for ways to turn that crippling dread into action, take 5 minutes and make 5 calls. They give you the phone numbers to your senators and a script to call about numerous issues. That’s how I’m starting my day today. ☕️📲👏 apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

I spent the last two days in launch meetings, hearing my colleagues affirm the commitment to publishing beautiful inclusive books.

Since reading “that” article about “that writer,” I have held my breath dreading the backlash of people saying how could the women have felt it was non consensual and texted him the things they did. I’m so relieved not to be seeing that. (1/3):

Please read this book banning bill TX GOP want to pass. It is chilling, bigoted and a sign of what may come--beyond Texas.
