Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Labeling things in this way is ridiculous. I just addressed this in a presentation with librarians. GNs are not desserts. This isn’t the way to encourage lifelong readers.

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now: Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

The political challenges to DEI efforts coincide with a downturn in kids' book sales, and demands to remove books featuring POC and LGBTQIA+ characters from schools & libraries. Latinx in Publishing couldn’t offer its publishing fellowship this year because it couldn’t secure publisher funding.

Would love to see the cishet white men of kidlit get vocal in the fight against book bans. Literally ALL the rest of us are being silenced. You're the only ones who truly have a chance of being listened to here. Staying silent is a political choice, too ✌🏽

More time writing or doing things you love, less time online. You don't have to put your head in the sand (and shouldn't) but you also don't need to doomscroll for the next thirty minutes waiting for the next Liam Nissan dunk. And if you find yourself with EXTRA time, donate it. Charities need you.

Tonight I had an “if anyone who you don’t know comes to you at school and asks if your friends aren’t from this country, or if their parents aren’t, you say ‘I don’t know’” talk with the 7-year-olds. They’ve known about ICE since they were 3. Fellow white parents, I promise our kids can handle that.

What we’re experiencing now, friends, is the dark night of the soul, the point in the story in which victory of the antagonist seems inevitable. But as any writer or reader knows, this is not how the story ends. Those who stand on the side of good will overcome and win.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

some Native elders could get ICE raided too and we're not talking about that (for insight, some were only on census & don't even have their birth certificate since we only got citizenship in 1924 & many weren't enrolled until 1940/50s - that's how recent we become 'legal' instead of 'illegal' here)
