Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay! Visit your favorite local indie! Buy books! (I did too!) And if you'd like to preorder one of my upcoming books, I have two separate "the world is burning, let's fight [a treacherous conspiracy/the patriarchy] with friendship, trust, and collective action" titles!

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

That’s one hell of an exit line.

I have had, and continue to have, many conflicts with the church I was raised in. This Pope, though the leader of all that, did many brave and iconoclastic things as the leader in his lifetime. I have more respect for him than most of his peers in power across the globe.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Dear fellow graphic novelists and comics writers, a gentle reminder: 💫 Credit your full creative team at every possible opportunity. 💫 If you work on any graphic story, get into the habit of celebrating all the people who make it what it is. Artists, colorists, letterers, cocreators, your team. 💙

John Oliver's segment about trans athletes is a must watch for anyone who genuinely has "concerns" (and isn't just using that as cover for bigotry) www.readtpa.com/p/send-this-...

I have a story in this! All about finding yourself and finding a place to belong through TTRPG. Also, all the characters in this story (except for one flashback) are autistic and that was such a *joy* to write 🥰

I know the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and everything feels uncertain right now. But I'm holding the arcs of my upcoming YA, and I'm so grateful that I get to tell these difficult stories about hope and healing. 💙

Mein Beitrag für #ComicsGegenRechts Auch wenn vieles gerade düster und bedrückend scheint, wir dürfen nicht vergessen, dass es SO viele Menschen gibt, die sich für Menschenrechte und Gerechtigkeit einsetzen und diese Werte schützen wollen. Du bist nicht allein, zusammen sind wir stark 💖🕊️

this sucks and is not surprising -- please support your local libraries, & if you're able join/attend school board meetings, you can help locally! they're throwing all this stuff out at the same time to induce a paralytic rage, but don't give into it (authors, join www.authorsagainstbookbans.com !)
