I beg the deep sea creatures to rise.

if i text you this just know you’re cooked

Folks, we CANNOT memory hole the Hitler salute When we talk about Nazis, it’s not a figure of speech We are talking about an actual Nazi

Woweeee first drafts are just absolutely terrible!

What other people think of you has nothing to do with you! Especially people who don’t know you and are wasting precious oxygen focusing on your choices. Be free from that!

So excited to share the cover for The Girl and the Robot by me and @ozrodriguez.bsky.social ! Art by the incredible Vanessa Morales! It’s coming out March 25th from Disney books and you can preorder it now 🤖 books.disney.com/book/the-gir...

If y’all don’t see what’s happening… like..

You either know this is @ryanlasala.bsky.social world and we are just living in it, or you don’t. Highly recommend getting with the program.

I need to print this out and put it on my wall to quell this specific anxiety. I am not a social media figure, I am a writer.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

needed some peace and quiet yesterday but now i’m ready to chat. as a trans author, i’ve spent years celebrating the beauty, resilience and complexity of trans lives through my work.

Wanted to do something positive today, so I made a starter pack of Diverse Kidlit creators and industry professionals! #diversekidlit #starterpack #diversifyyourshelves #weneeddiversebooks go.bsky.app/Ma4TCD7

These are very good suggestions, but a few key ones are missing: attend library board mtgs and speak in favor (many are on zoom), donate $, and vote for measures and bonds to increase funding. Patrons have real power. Don't let a handful of bigots destroy your library.

Poetry Foundation not fucking around with today's poem of the day www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...

Watching Mr. Rogers with my kids, one of whom just broke her collarbone. “People don’t have to hurt anything or anybody when they’re angry. In fact, learning what to do with the mad that we feel is one of the most important things we can do when we are growing.”

Hi #booksky ! Very excited to be here :) 📚💙

I stand with Method Man

AOL Instant Messenger supremacy. Bring back our old screenames and the sound effects. I want that door slamming in my face when you log off. I want the thrill of the beepbooobeeeepbeeepboopboop whirr whirr before I log in. I want an idle status with corny quotes to look at when you’ve stepped away.

Who is this old? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Please I beg you! This was not written for you, which does not prevent you from enjoying the content but if a book for teenagers reads like teenagers acting like teenagers we literally did our job correctly!!!

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

Ye old readers have a draft waiting period

An underappreciated aspect of the Nazi rise is how quickly German *society* fell into line. In early March 1933, a majority of German voters voted against the Nazis. By late spring, pretty much the whole country backed them. How did that happen? Here's a little thread. (1/6)

My husband and I started Peaky Blinders and early on in the first season there is a scene where a woman receives a pelvic exam and I noticed that the tools they use IE: the hard sharp metal duck clamp they jam into vaginas without any pain support, hasn’t changed since the 1920’s!

I realise I never posted these on here but this morning I found out that THE HYSTERICAL GIRLS OF ST BERNADETTE’S has earned its fourth starred review, so here you go: Four stars, all in a row ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A third of the 1400 firefighters involved are prisoners who are unpaid.

So grateful for this opportunity. Shoutout to @4nikkolas.bsky.social because it’s finally time! Our picture book, CAPTAIN AMERICA BRAVE NEW WORLD: A HERO LOOKS LIKE YOU is in stores now.

The gif search answers have gotten so bad and I blame AI.

Committee is one of the few words that actually looks how it sounds.

Everything is so stupid

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

New York employers must now offer paid medical leave during pregnancy

Joy is an act of resistance. May you enjoy jubilance, love, and grace in 2025 and beyond. #HappyNewYear

I very much would love to go into this next year with no deadlines. Prayers up I can pull a long ass night and bang out this short story revision

One thing about me, I loved me some high school! Favorite ppl, favorite time. Hey mr @clehmann.bsky.social some of 05 got back together
