Hi, all! Realizing that I'm spending problem amounts of time online and overwhelmed when I could be writing/calling my reps and responding to local issues. For the next 100 days, I'm gonna be offline and focused on that work. Bye for a bit! 👋🏻 #writingcommunity #resist #author

Hi, #booksky ! I'm trying to make a big push to get my org to commit to buying more books by marginalized authors, even for the non-culture-specific book giveaways like Summer Reading. Drop your book (last 5 years) in picture book, CB, MG, YA (fiction, but especially nonfiction! Give me your joy!

So thrilled to see that Drew Leclair Gets a Clue was chosen by a Michigan middle schooler as Canton Public Library's best books! It makes me so happy to see that kids are still discovering this book after three years 🥹 #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #kidsbooks #mglit

I'm so glad I've been saving for 15 years for a trip outside the country and that I'm leaving in a month, when airline safety is a total shitshow. This... tracks, honestly 🫠🥴

This. Ana on the Edge has been challenged or banned in more US states, counties, school districts, and libraries than I can even keep track of. My sales don’t rise because of them, they stagnate. And fewer trans and nonbinary kids get to see themselves in stories as a direct result.

Hey disabled writers on Bluesky! Reply to this post with either: 1. The publication you're proudest of, something that's cool about it, and a link to read it. ~OR~ 2. Something you love writing about. Can be the minutia of motorcycle repair, or as simple as "Dragons."

I admit, I was prepared for heartbreak and ups and downs but not the weight of disappointment on my chest as I wade through this industry. #MGlit #authors #publishing

America just basically told everyone with disabilities to eff off, but what else is new, I guess? 😖

Hey California peeps! Schiff's voicemail is full but Padilla's is open! Keep calling to support Democrats holding the floor to oppose RFK. Just left my voicemail and moving on to email!

So is TikTok gone again? I had to get a new phone and it's undownloadable despite all the "benevolent General Krull" messages about Trump they posted last month...
