I wrote “she crouched to the ground.” 😑As opposed to what, Daniel? “crouched up the escalator” ? “crouched across the Sahara” ? “crouched into the multiverse” ? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

In 1893, Frances E.W. Harper published ‘Iola Leroy’ Responding to books romanticizing the Old South, Harper’s main character, sold into slavery, passes as white, cleverly encouraging white readers to put themselves in the place of a slave. The book was a bestseller. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #BookSky

President Trump's DOE has made themselves clear: they will support book banners in their efforts to strip our institutions of learning of the books that define them. So let us be perfectly clear: we're going to do whatever we can to try and stop them.
